My experience with the symptom you are describing-----Except Ignoring the Shift Light. A 'red herring'.

Besides an 87 Wagon with a 5 speed I own an 80 with a 4 speed.


Years ago on the 80 Sedan--4Speed...
I did a full timing gear Plus 3 front seal replacement, the 120K Volvo recommended service.

I've never replaced the Rear Main seal. When I put in a new clutch DYI in my garage a few years earlier---I told myself not pulling the flywheel and RMS this time---next time I'll pay my mechanic.

My thinking regarding the rest of this analysis was:
that by renewing the Front Seals...any potential Seal Leakage would be forced to the Older RearMainSeal.

Several months later...when ever I 'flogged it' after a traffic light OR tried to accelerate up a hill in 3rd....the engine would rev without gaining speed.

I'd back off the gas and the clutch would 'catch'.

So ignoring the Shift Light----

Assume you have as oil contaminated clutch disc. When you do the clutch be sure to renew the Rear Main Seal---as well as resurfacing the flywheel.
