Hi Everyone,
I don't know this forum all that well, so I hope I'm replying to everyone, more or less.
I clearly didn't get into enough detail in my long-winded explanation. Sometimes I've been told to be less wordy.
Bruce: the centre console has been off since the early days of this ordeal, so all parties are aware of the tension bolt. For sure, I am. I'm going on the assumption that the Volvo repair shop knows about it as well. The ratchet assembly has even been off and replaced by the shop. The bolt has been run in and out extensively, though I cannot exactly tell you what is at the end of the adjustment, but it essentially didn't solve the problem with overall tension. I also have a spare, good functioning ratchet lever from the GLT parts car.
The pin described by Dave and Art I vaguely recall from the axle swap 20 years ago. My recollection is that the pin becomes trapped by a body once the linkage is in the normal position. I'm fairly sure this must still be there, otherwise there really would be 'zero tension'. Anyhow, something I can check once I get the car back home here. None of this is complex mechanics, from memory.
