93 850 Lacks Power & Needs Clutch 850 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Poor after xmas on  Mon Jan 2 12:52 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hello all and Happy 2006.

1993 Volvo 850, (nonturbo), manual, 135000 miles in Atlanta, GA.
Car burns oil; about a quart every 5000 miles.

3 problems (for now):

1. Clutch has begun making a slight noise every time it gets pushed in. Still lets me shift etc, just makes that icky sound. Any idea on whats wrong and how much it should cost me to get fixed?

2. RPM's will run up without there being a increase in speed. Gotten so bad that it has trouble taking off on hills etc. Will start SLOOOOWLY then after alittle while it "catches" and gets up into speed. Same problem happens in hills while driving where I have to downshift and rev the rpm's to not loose speed. Compression problem? Manifold/valves? Price?

3. I suspect there being a exhaust leak in the manifold or gaskets. Will sometimes give a small bang underneath the car just after shifting. Ideas? Price?


Any and all suggestions/answers GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks and happy new year.

Erik
