Thanks for sharing your experience Jim, I think you hit my problem right on the head! After reading your post I kept wondering: "Am I subconsciously, ignorantly, perhaps subliminally pulling up on the shift lockout ring when I go to shift into 5th gear?
I drove the car today and have not experienced the 5th-shift-itus problem. I have been under the car the past couple of days and did check the shift shaft collar during the diff. plate r&r, it's oily, I have some serious leaks in that area, I can't tell if it's the gasket where the trans meets the block or one of the upper engine seals, but there's plenty of oil there, but there's no play in it, also I do not have the twisty-shifter-lever problem others have posted about here.
Motor and trans are coming out in a week or so, trans is getting new pilot and pinion bearings, and a new reverse gear(I hope that's all it is), and other necessary innards, the motor will be resealed, all by a local Volvo-Saab mechanic. There's very little whining from my trans. Lynn from L&B Auto(http://www.volvobylnb.com)drove my car, said I can continue driving it even w/o reverse, said it should be fine, but after removing the diff. plate this past weekend and taking some nice big chunks of reverse gear out of the pan, & cleaning the magnet(which wasn't too dirty), I am going to get it done.
