Re: Clutch Problems 1800 65

posted by  someone claiming to be Tom Frisardi on  Thu Nov 5 08:24 CST 1998 [RELATED]

Have you checked crankshaft endplay? Really worn thrust bearings can cause strange clutch behavior. I can't remember whether Volvos of this vintage used diaphragm type pressure plates, but, if they do, then you should also inspect where the throwout bearing presses on the diaphragm fingers. The fingers can get thin. I suppose incipient failure of the clutch fingers could cause symptoms like you describe. Incidentally, I think George's idea is the best one. I have seen pieces of clutch facing, or clutch hub, (I forget which) interfere with declutching.
