S40 (New) General : - Clutch replacement with Ford Mondeo part, high revs to MPH

hi all,

My car is a 2006 S40 1.8 Volvo Manual Trans

Due to a slipping clutch, I Had a clutch replacement yesterday, they changed the Duel Mass fly wheel with all new but for a Mondeo 230M (part 336590440), a 2 piece Clutch kit from Ford (641590870) and a duel mass flywheel fitting (LAB-DMF). Also a concentric slave cylinder (645590220)

Since getting it back, I have noticed that the Revs are at 3k where they were normally at 2k before me having to change up a gear.

For instance, in 3rd gear going to fourth, i am at 3k revs before I hit 30 mph.

Similarly in 5th gear at 60mph, I am at 3000 revs already. Is this normal? It does not look like it should be that high per gear and speed to me.

Unfortunately not able to anticipate this issue, i didn't record what it looked like before the car started to have a slipping clutch. But when slipping, it was at 3k revs at 60mph in 5th gear also.

Is there an adjustment that they should have done or do you think that the Ford parts are not compatible with the Volvo I use?

I am confused so need to know anyone with the same car also, who can give me the Revs/Gear#/Mph to compare against.

Advice appreciated!
