Volvo 940 d24TIC downshifts at high speeds

[Lars G]

Hi.

Just bought my first d24tic and its an automatic. I somewhat know my way around a manual transmission such as the m47 and m90, but am quite a greeny on the automatic.

Anyhow the case is:

When i accelerate to about 100km/h + and try to decelerate the gearbox downshifts to the lowest gear possible at that speed so either second or third which makes the revs hit the limiter. As soon as I break and it goes below 100 it goes back to normal. The transmission has been flushed about 3000km ago. What can the problem be?

Keep in mind this only happens once i start to let pressure off the gas pedal. If it shifts down and i continue to accelerate it goes right back to normal. Seems like it wont let me cruise at that high speed because it works perfectly in any other speed below 100km/h.

Thanks for any help
