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?

Hey what's up, first things first, is your vehicle check engine light on, if not u may have a series of issue, like a fuel pump going bad, catalytic converter clogging up, ecm software may need updating, do not starting pulling car apart, find a saab service garage, problem could be simply to fix, like just a software update
