clutch cable compatability question p.s.s.

posted by  someone claiming to be ohnovolvo on  Sat Aug 23 12:57 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I will go to Volvo and purchase the proper cable, and keep the cheapo as a spare. Had i put in a OEM cable a month ago,instead of the inferior aftermarket one, I would not be sitting here now, whining and ranting about counter people.

My bad.

Had I followed advice found on the BrickBoard and replaced the real Volvo cable.....

Auto zone ain't all bad, they are cheap, and have lifetime parts replacement, and most of the counter people are pretty cool. But i will give Strass a try.

I recently ordered from FCP Groton, They are great. The order arrived in twentyfour hours, and all the items were correct. Dealing with the person on the phone was a breeze. AutoZone could use some pointers from these guys.

I also went to Nemet Volvo to get some official Volvo parts for my overdrive, seals and filters, and a papergasket I found the parts guys a lot of help. The biggest hassel is that you must make two trips to order- the first to order, and the second to pick up.

Well guess what- one of the gaskets was wrong. The order number on the package matched the part number in the catalog, but the wrong gasket was placed in the bag. The rest of the order was correct-so they didn't fail totally. And I am sure the parts will last longer.


The smallest of the three -FCP- seems to have the best service.... Mabey bigger isn't better...

Thanks
