Assuming you have the rather peculiar electronic overdrive box connected to a manual transmission, the first place I would look would be the overdrive button switch located inside the gearshift knob. The knob can be removed by pulling straight off, firmly but carefully. There are 2 wires running up inside the gear lever shaft that connect to the switch. If one of these has come loose the shifter will not work. A more difficult problem is if the wires have broken somewhere inside the gear lever. That involves removing the lever and tracing the wires, not something to try unless you're at least moderatly inclined mechanically. As you may have guessed, I faced both of these problems with my 240!

What is the difference between Volvo 240 DL and Volvo 245 DL?
Sometime in the 1980's Volvo dropped the old numbering sequence of 242, 244, 245 to delineate their 200 series cars and went to calling them all 240's. The DL and GL are trim and equipment levels with the DL being the lower or less expensive. The old numbers meant first, the series number. Second is the number of engine cylinders and the third was the number of doors the car had. A 245 is a 200series car, with a 4 cylinder engine and 5 doors is a station wagon.
