Ah, good. Glad I haven't upset the apple cart by mistake. Thanks.

Good point, too, re: confusion related to engaging versus disengaging the clutch. For the sake of clarity I find myself avoiding those terms and simplifying descriptions into "with the clutch pedal pressed down" or "with the clutch pedal released" kinds of statements - otherwise a quick conversation about what to do or what's happening becomes a longer tutorial about proper use of terminology, which will become irrelevant for most Volvo owners as soon as their noise goes away.

You've probably heard people telling others how to drive a manual transmission say things like "give it more clutch" and then witnessed the instructor's frustration when the notion of "more clutch" is interpreted exactly backward.

Based on the most recent post, it looks like you were dead right about this one - it was the transmission. I do believe, still, that determining symptoms described as these were that the only way to know for certain was by removing the transmission and getting a look in there. Bottom line - the car is on its way to being fixed, which is the whole notion behind the brickboard. So that's good.

Best,
