That's a nice looking car Joe. Check the release lever for the clutch and ensure it has about 1/8 inch freeplay before it contacts the bearing. Drain the transmission oil and refill with any good quality ATF. Ford, Dexron, Mercon, it doesn't matter in the standard trans. If the stuff you take out is really black and smelly, which it might be if it has never been changed, then change it again in a few months. There is no oil pan or filter per se on the manual, although there is a screen in the overdrive. Don't mess with it if it is working. Just change the oil. ( Don't use a gear oil like 80W-90 under any circumstances. Some shops do when they don't understand that Volvo MANUAL trans use automatic trans fluid)
