Does it change up if you take your foot off the go pedal for a moment and then put your foot back on it?

Do you also have hard gear changes?

If so, the first thing I'd check is the amount of oil in the gearbox. I had similar symptoms of a box that had been over filled.[/QUOTE

That's exactly what I mean. It sounds like once the oil/filter has been replaced it'll stop fingers crossed. I performed the stall test and it wouldn't rev above about 2k rpm. Does that sound right?

Cheers

Let the engine warm up and check the box oil level. If it's over filled then siphon some out and check again. Repeat until you're satisfied that you have the correct amount in there. Then test the car again and see if the problem persists. This procedure shouldn't cost you a thing and i'd do it before you get the oil changed. If your garage put in what they pump out, you'll still have an over full box albiet with new juice.

If of course, your levels are fine, I'd move onto the fluid change.
