I agree with Matt about the shift control cable.

The Aisin transmissions (#s 70,71 and their brethren) have an idiosyncratic behavior in the 1-2 shift. It'll often slam hard on part throttle. That's the most noticeable one, and it varies from transmission to transmission which one will do it and which will not.

The most important thing is to have a free shift control cable (a new one is good). Also Matt has a good point about the recent change in behavior; you likely upset the cable somehow, somewhere.

As far as changing the filter screen on the transmission, Volvo explicitly instructs it's technicians NOT to do that unless the transmission is being diagnosed for problems other than a simple fluid change. In your case, if a kickdown cable doesn't fix the transmission, then it might be worth the effort to replace the filter screen. Otherwise it isn't necessary.
