"Clutch Clinic" query
Evening All,
It appears the release bearing is expiring on my '94 855 T5.
Its replacement is not a job I wish to attempt in the road outside my house so I think it's time to USE A GARAGE ... AGGGHHHHH !!
I tried a local "clutch clinic" type place today - the chap sounded very sensible and as trustworthy as one can tell over the phone ... he quoted £420 + VAT all in, or £240+VAT + £50 bribe to fit my own supplied Europarts Clutch kit at £130 + P&P.
So:
a) Has anyone done one themselves and is taking the g/box out as nightmarish as I imagine ?
b) Has anyone actually paid a Volvo dealer to do it and how much ?
c) Any experiences of using non-Volvo garage for a clutch swap ?
d) should I just drill a small hole in the bell housing and arrange a drip feed total loss lube system to make the bearing last another few years ????
Any experiences or thoughts welcomed.
Steve
