I forgot to add....

I'll bet your mechanic isn't a Volvo-specialist, right?

First, he didn't recognize this absolutely 'classic' set of symtoms.

Second, he was convincing you that your car, with only 185,000 miles, was worn out. Heck, I bought one of my favorite Volvos when it had 185,000 miles.

I'd look around for someone else to care for your car -- even if he agreed to work on your car, he'd probably have started tearing into your transmission, rather than make the right (and immensely cheaper) diagnosis.

Or, was he offering to buy your car (for a song)?

Anyway, do that simple test (fill up your fuel tank) and see if I'm right.
Regards,
