Common fault on many cars not just volvo , it may simply be the clutch friction plate not fully clearing either the flywheel face or the cover plate . This can be the result of dust / rust build up on the input shaft . You won't notice it in the forward gears due to the synchromesh hubs doing their thing .
It may even be due to incorrect grade of gearbox oil causing drag that keeps turning the gears & crunching

Adjustment is on the end of the cable in the engine bay. If you don't know how to do it, buy a Haynes book, if it's still tricky, get a garage to do it
