what clutch in a 1990 740 estate
Hey guys, I have a 1990 swedish built 740 estate with a b230E kjet and 4speed and electric overdrive, would any of you guys have any idea what clutch could be fitted to this car? Local motor factors cant even find a Volvo 740 in there guides and looking on eblag, amazon etc seem to list umpteen variations for same model.
As this is my daily I would like to order correct clutch for it and have it changed with minimum fuss. Dogs wont be impressed if there car is stuck on ramp for a week with no gearbox! There seems to be several diameter plates and spline combinations. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Thats great, if no joy with local I will drop you a line.
Going to need some decent rear springs shortly, once clutch is done thats next job when funds allow. Looks like you have a lot of usefull stuff! I hopefully have a 360 project lined up soon to and that needs usual top mounts, so watch this space! Thanks again guys, your real helpful. Ted. |

Hi, thanks for letting me know you have clutches in do you have a pair of heavy duty lifted rear springs in at moment to?
Both for my 740, its not overly happy with 1/4 ton of dogs in back of it! Next problem is I am on the Isle of Man, woyld this be much of an issue or can you use royal mail? Next is payment, are you ok with giving me a bank account number i can drop it in, i can only deal in cash at mo. Thanks, Ted. |

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grayston-...UAAOSwJH1ZKXwx That's the best price i know of for a pair of them on ebay, won't necessarily stop it hitting the bump stops but will help to minimise it a bit. Assuming you have "normal" suspension (not Nivomats) there are loads of springs available on ebay and shocks as well, should be able to find a complete rear axle set for about £50 for both springs and shocks. I used Suplex springs and although not listed as such, turned out to be KYB shocks, same on the front end, totally transformed the car! All for under £125 for all 4 corners, springs and shocks. I can't remember who Suplex are a subsidiary of but it's one of the "better" springs manufacturers. It's a bit like Kilen, they are a subsidiary of Lesjofors who were OE manufacturers for Volvo, Rover and a few others. In short you get the same quality at a better price.
