I've often found this problem caused by a worn out auto transmission output shaft bushing. Grab hold of the flange/u-joint directly behind the transmission--try to move it up and down. Any movement is too much. It's pretty simple to change the bushing and seal and you can get a real good look at the driveshaft and trans mount while your doing the job. It's not uncommon to find binding u-joints on a Volvo--manipulate them through the entire range of motion. If you drop the entire shaft be sure to mark the 2 halves for balance--and check that they are aligned properly to begin with--Front flange at the transmission end should be at 90 degrees compared to the flange at the differential end--misalignment can cause a vibration too.
