Hello,
1. My speedometer has started dropping its recorded speed as I step on the accelerator. At speeds above 60 mph, if I step on the gas, the speedo drops to like 45 or so. Is this indication a cable problem or the speedometer itself?
2. Is there a way to check the clutch and associted parts without dropping the trans? My car seems to be making a mettalic grind noise at highway speeds. My first manual Volvo, so it might be a normal sound, I don't know. Also at RPMs of 2000 - 2500 or so I get a very irritating mettalic rattling sound, releated to trans?Clutch? $$$ ? Junk it and start over?
Thanks...
The car is a 1980 244 DL with 4spd manual trans, no OD.
