Willie,
Do the gears engage normally if you lift the reverse collar?
This is quite a common problem on the larger Volvos and on these the reverse lock plate is adjustable, it`s probably a similar set up on your 340. Personally I would replace the bushes etc in the linkage to eliminate the play on the stick and then adjust the lock plate to allow the lever more travel towards the 1st-2nd plane only if required. Certainly check/replace the bushes before attacking the gearbox!
Colin.
