I'd get this looked at immediately, it's not the sort of thing that will go away. I'd start by checking fluid levels in the box.

The tranmission is shared with the Toyota Cressida 82-87 model (that's the A43DE in Toyota speak if yours is a AW30-43) Yours is either a AW30-43 or AW30-40. Go to Wikipedia to get the equvalent of yours. Try Aisin Warner on Wikipedia. No need to pay top dollar at Volvo wreckers when a Toyota one will fit (just swap the bell housing and switches/controls) Remember the labour to swap is only three hours just make sure you totally flush the old fluid out (7.5 litres) & new front & rear seals go on the replacement gearbox and that the extension housing bushing is OK. Good luck.

if oil level ok ?? then cost of repair is more than the value of the car

Take it to the dealer and ask the service person to help you enter the code. I am sure there going to be more then happy help you enter the code free of charge, since there going to want your business in the future. Good luck and hope this helps.

It's the shift interlock. Press th release button on the shifter and agressively move it back and forth. That should solve the problem.
