2006 Saab 9-3 repair Question 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Hi,
I am in Wellingborough Northants. My problem is that approx. every third journey the car when I am in fourth or fifth gear experiences a power loss which the n rectifies itself when I drop down a gear and give it some oomph-the loss of power then returns when I change up again and this cariies on for around 5 minutes before going away completely. The whole thing is accompanied by a juddering similar to having a flat tyre.
My local non specialistb garage has put it on diagnostics and found nothing wrong-my local saab dealers have gone pop. Any ideas?
