I've got a 98 S70 T5 with a manual and for the most part its been pretty good to me. I am on my second clutch, first one was glazed, made alot of noise, springs went, etc. Replaced at 45k miles.

The second clutch however is doing much better than the first, and considering I drive the car pretty darn hard at times and the transmission is still in good shape I'd say its pretty solid. I did have a brief period of time where shifting into first and second on really cold mornings ( below 25F) was hard, but it went away so no worries.

Oh and my cars not using any oil either, after getting all the external leaks fixed, its good to know the rings are still good.
