Slow Up/Shift Down Saga

Slow Up/Shift Down Saga
So... my 2005 Volvo XC90 V8 has been plaguing me for the past couple of months. And my husband is starting to hate her. Anyways... Two months ago the alternator completely failed on me on the middle of the interstate at midnight. Mechanic said there was a slow oil leak which slowly over time filled the alternator causing it to fail. Got the alternator replaced and the valve cover gaskets. We also replace the intake plenum gaskets and pcv valve for safe measures. Now I am receiving a slow up or shift down error that cause my car to turn off. My husband is an aircraft mechanic so hes pretty handed in cases like these. He ran the code reader and got a cylinder 6 and 8 misfire in the ignitor coils. We replaced those and all of the spark plugs. We are still getting those codes and the slow down/shift up error still happens. Although it hasn't cause my car to shut off but it drives really rough and seems as though it doesn't want to kick into the next gear.... Any ideas - I am not car literate at all. But any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
