you say the fluid looks good... that's great.
now next time your out drive for about ten good minuetes long enough for the transmission to get nice and warm and then pull over to nice level ground and with the vehicle in park check the fluid again. it's kind of hard to read because it always has a lot of bubbles on it and stuff. but it may be low on fluid.. good-luck ray

Doesn't sound like a simple fix. I would suggest having it serviced.

This is common to the AW70 transmission when the rear bushing has been left very worn for a period of time. The rear shaft wear heavily on the main transmission housing causing the pressure not to build enough to engage the overdrive gear.

1991 Volvo 240 won't shift into 3rd til about 60 mph, 4th at 78 mph, shifts into 2nd at 30 mph. think it's the transmission cable loose, any help.

had this problem myself. it turned out to be a sticky throttle cable from the throttle position sensor to the transmission making the transmission think it was in kick down mode. gave the cable a good dose of WD40 and its worked a treat ever since. and that's about three years to date.
