If "OD Guru" chimes in here, you'll get the definite answer. But it sounds like one of the clutches (the sprag clutch?) inside the OD unit is shot. The transmission itself may be perfectly OK. The local independent Volvo shop here has about 5 OD's sitting on the floor, the guy rebuilds them as he gets time. So they are around, or you could possibly fix your own.

Unless the engine clutch assembly looks really good, it should be replaced, as the extra labor is about $40 (mostly for a flywheel skim), and the parts are reasonable.

Having everything (pull trans/OD, rebuild OD, replace clutch, resurface flywheel, install new rear crankshaft oil seal, reassemble all the above) done by professionals could be in the neighborhood of $800. It will take a lot of time to do the work yourself, but if you've got the time, tools, space, and a bit of know how, will be much cheaper and more satisfying.
