question about a "shifty" auto trans 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be jacob cuthbertson on  Thu Dec 7 15:46 CST 2000 [RELATED]

i've got an 86 240 wagon with an automatic transmission. my problem is that when i accelerate slowly/gently it kind of jerks when shifting from 1st gear into second. but when i give it more gas and accelerate quickly from a stop it shifts more smoothly into 2nd and doesn't "jerk". has anyone else experienced this situation and if so is it a problem that will continue to get worse? do i need to do something to correct it? i just bought the car and i've really been enjoying this message board. i'm excited the more i learn about volvo's and think that all the feedback and help people give is really great! thanks.

jacob
