I'm the original owner of a '99 XC70 which has 114K miles and has always been well maintained. Yesterday, when I started the engine, the car shuddered hard in idle, reverse and forward, and wouldn't accelerate above ~2000 rpm. I drove it around that way for a bit, shifting gears manually some, then parked. When I restarted, all was well.
Then, this morning it again seemed not to want to accelerate again briefly.
Apparently, something's not right in the transmission or, perhaps, the drive train. Anyone recognize these symptoms?
Thanks.
