I have a 94 850 non-turbo. has well over 200K on it (not sure how far as the odometer is dead). The clutch needs to be replaced. There is definately pressure in the crankcase causing a leak at the oil cap. and i will need to do rotors and pads as well as ebrake shoes on the back sooner rather than later. My questions... Is it worth the replacing the clutch? I could probably do this myself in the driveway but i dont really want to. Quotes for replacement are running anywhere from 900 -1500. Is it more likely going to be the 1500? and finally does any one know how to get the climate control fan speeds 1-3 to work?

 

Ok so i got unlazy and read through previous posts and found out about the mcc resistor sorry.

 

clogged flame trap same as pcv valve will cause motor to build crank pressure

 

never let a volvo die

 

Pressure in the crankcase is the flame trap. FCP Groten offers a kit which includes the intake manifold gasket.

Clutch change is pretty straight forward. You either take the engine/transmission out through the top or raise the car, lower the eng/trans down enough to seperate the two and pull the trans out. Did my 93 in my garage last year.

 

Best advice I ever recieved on a car forum. I sprung for a pro tp do the clutch. I put four new snows on and a four wheel alignment. Drives like a new one. What a car. The more I drive it the more I love it.
