Automatic Transmission noise and problems?? 850 1997

Greetings,
I am experiencing some strange behavior from my Volvo. When sitting at a stop light, the car feels like it is going into gear and back out again, over and over, but not at regular intervals. If I put the car into neutral, the noise (and apparent gear action) stops. Also, while accelerating, the car seems to "stumble", but the engine does seem to be reving up. While driving, around 40 to 60 MPH, the car starts to shake (the shaking seems to be comming from the front of the car) If it take my foot off the gas, the shaking stops.
I think it might be a transmission or torque convertor issue. Any ideas or suggestions? Is this something that the average weekend mechanic could fix, or does it sound like the engine might need to come out (or something equally horrible)?

Thanks,
Stuart
