this manual transmission?
seems. so
the tip of shift levers love to get worn and not allowing the shift rail forks to hit 3rd gear.
a pure simple mechanical failure and is shifter tip end parts bad, some are even made of plastic.
or
3rd gear synchro- ring is super worn out and the main clutch drags. (seen it and fixed them)
if clutch has master cylinder is the fluid always at top line or drops in time every weak.
seals going bad fluid to thin and old filter needs changed or clutch in trans worn how many miles on trans if more than 200k rebuild it and replace torque converter
You have to remove the transmission from the vehicle in order to replace the clutch plate. It's not the easiest repair to do on a car. The clutch lining can quickly be worn down if the driver rides the clutch or is inexperienced with a manual shift vehicle.
Start by checking the automatic transmission fluid level hot. You may want to take this to a local Volvo dealer to have the transmission serviced first.
Usually when the transmission slips, shifts rough, is noisy or has no drive in forward or reverse gears this indicates that the fluid pressure is low. When the transmission is serviced the oil is drained, the screen/filter is changed, the magnets cleaned and the pan cleaned as well. Dirt can clog the screen, which is a filter that is designed to trap particles that would otherwise damage the unit. The magnets are designed to trap metal shavings before they can contaminate the oil.
If this fails to correct the issue, the clutch packs could be worn out inside the transmission itself. These are the friction plates that actually perform shifting duties. The other possibility is that the torque converter or its pump is worn, resulting in low line pressure. Although replacement is possible, consider a rebuilt unit before repairing - the cost of installation of a rebuilt unit is usually about the same for repair of these types of problems. The result will be a vehicle that is both reliable and long lasting.
Check the line pressure. If it is low, there is a TSB #0003305 that addresses other slippage codes from low line pressure, and problems with the pump bushing wearing .
