Remove the foam and replace it with new dense foam of the same thickness. you can cut through the rubber mat along the transmission tunnel and peal off the foam. Then glue the new foam on with spray and cover the joint with tape. I used Gorilla Duct tape. I had the same problem with my 2000 S70. Unless you replace the saturated foam and thoroughly clean the carpet the car will always smell of AF. (ask my wife) I used a commercial carpet cleaner and a steam cleaner. Did the trick!
Good Luck,Tom
