How about this? Did you even read it in your haste to try and point-score yourself? 🙄
I see you've now (finally) advised that it is a manual box. Some "feel" stiff (in general, not just Volvo) when you're not used to them, but it could also be that the linkage needs lubricating, and/or the gearbox oil needs replacing.
