I have a 1980 245 w/ a M46 tranny and I'm replacing the clutch.The only clutch kit I'm finding is a Sachs w/ a release bearing width(depth) of ~ 1 5/16 in.(38.5mm ?). My clutch has the wider bearing, 1 5/8 in.(43mm?) and the pressure plate has 'England' stamped on it and a white paper sticker,'Volvo'. The pressure plate fingers/tines are nearly flat and the fingers on the new Sachs pressure plate are raised/domed up in the center. Will this new kit supercede what I have and work or do I have to match the type of pressure plate/release bearing that I'm replacing?

Thanks in advance for any advice !
Brian

p.s. My Chilton's repair manual also says to scribe/matchmark my pressure plate and flywheel before I seperate them. Is this assuming that I'm reusing the old pressure plate? Or do I have to align the new plate in the same orientation? they also say that Volvo used Borg&Beck or Fitchel & Sachs. My new clutch has both mfg.'s names on the box?? confused!?
