RE: Easy to Fix??
If the rattle is in tune with engine revs and disappears when engiine revs up this was a common Volvo problem. Our 340 rattled like a bag of nails from new and sounded terrible. Volvo then put a different oil into the gearbox and the rattle vanished. I believe the oil was synthetic of some sort as opposed to the ATF that was the norm for these gearboxes. The rattle was caused by the layshaft rattling at low revs due to thin oil. Cheers Nige
