Default Selecting 1st and reverse gear

I have a V reg. V70, and have problems selecting 1st and reverse gear when the engine is cold, and particularly when the weather is also cold. I gather other people have had the same problem, and wonder if anyone has found the best solution. I am reluctant to take the car to a Volvo garage, as I have experienced their exorbitant charges for unnecessary work. I would appreciate any advice, before I try to find someone to resolve this problem. If I can get the car into 1st gear, and move forward a couple of feet, I can usually select reverse, but it can be quite a struggle. I am also worried I may be doing some damage to the clutch/gear box.
