Faulty volvo s80 2.9 auto gearbox, can anybody help?

I have a Volvo S80 2.9 Automatic that is reporting a fault in its gearbox but nobody seems able to identify the code. It hasn't gone into standard safe mode as it allows use of first gear and reverse only. Prior to going wrong it worked perfectly, then just suddenly lost all but first gear. Has anybody encountered a similar problem to this before or know what may cause this problem?

Because I may not be able to fix it and due to nobody being able to supply a 4 speed auto box for the 2.9 if anybody does know where I could locate one in the UK (preferably) I'd love to know. I tried all the websites but most of them respond with a chuckle and a "not even god could locate a used one of those"! Any help would certainly be appreciated

Answers:
they laugh because volvo's built for there are suppose to be standards.There a place to go,type in swedish bricks in your search bar.
try Volvo and price it plus ask them which country sold the most of that car then u have a platform for searching. at least you could turn up something in the right direction. but the fault is either a sensor failure that's giving the reading or the thing is knackered you could try to stick a manual to it if your that stuck
