I drive it down the interstate at 60 mph for about 30 minutes. When I exit to the ramp, I stop the car for the light. When it changes I take my foot off the brake and step on the gas - the transmission acts like it's in neutral. I put it in park, turn off the engine, count to 15, start the engine, put it in drive and the car takes off - acting like nothing was wrong.
Could be an oil of too heavy weight, try a lighter oil.
1) How's your fluid level?
2) When did you last replace your filter?
3) When it shifted, did it go trough all the gears as you accelerate or did it just stay on one gear and never shifted?
4) How's reverse, does it slip out too after 2 - 3 min?
5) As you first able to shift into gear, you can drive it for 2 to 3 mintues and it just suddenly slip out of gear?
.... could be a number of different things. Maybe even burnt out clutche(s) inside your transmission

Just in case you are still having an issue.
There is a suspension mount on the right side of the engine bay just under the timing cover. Remove the right front wheel and the two 10mm plastic nuts in the fender liner. Now pull back the fender liner. Using a flash light you should be staring at the crankshaft harmonic balancer (big round circular pulley that has a large bolt, 21mm, in the middle and four smaller, 10mm, bolts around it).
Just under the pulley there is an engine mount turned sideways. Use your flashlight and a mirror if you can't get a good look at it, Most likely you will see that the rubber is pushed apart and in pieces. The upper portion of the mount that bolts to the engine with 13mm bolts will be sitting on the sub frame. There is supposed to be rubber between the upper portion and the frame. Just look closely because from time to time it will just sink into the mount and may look ok unless you look close.
If the mount is ok then you will need to take it to a Volvo shop. There are a couple of service bulletins for vibration and harshness on early (1998-2000 awd cars). They relate to some adjustments or shim instillation on the left side mount, but I can't remember the settings off the top of my head.
I hope this helps.

Have tried getting quality gasoline at a reliable station? It sounds like water in your fuel system. Add a couple bottles of Iso-Heet fuel system dryer everytime you fill up the next few times, and that should cure it.

sorry man your problem is your computer detected a problem in your transmission that needs to be open,more likely needs a new set of clutches..........the set is not to expensive but the actual labor is,so good luck.
