Volvo 440 clutch replacement

I had a 480 once- very similar. I had been warned gearbox in/out was a longish job, but lack of funds led me to try changing the gearbox (it had a mysterious habit of throwing all of it's oil out through the breather). I'm not the worlds best by any means, but me and a couple of friends who had between us took gearboxes/clutches in and out of various

80s VWs gave up as access was a bit of a pig. ISTR struggling even with the starter motor. I took it to the garage. I suspect with very good fcilities it would be easier, but still tricky, depending on your experience

It was a shit car too. Thirsty, unreliable, rustier than you'd like. It handled OK and went OK though, but changing it for a Mk2 Golf was one of the best things I did, shortly after modifying it's front end with a tree- it had plenty enough power to make the front run very wide if you gave it a bootful on a wet road, like an idiot might... Buying it was probably the worst car-related decision I made :-)

gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Seriously... Why bother?

For what it'll cost you, you could easily buy something FAR better.

Depends on the owner's capabilities...

That's a good point. The parts will be between £64 and £118 from GSF, plus a good few hours labour. How much can any 440 be worth now?

sounds like the oil capacity was too much you have to be spot on with these.

I don't think so. It threw out enough to start rumbling. Digging around in the depths I found a catch bottle wrappped in black plastic. Suffice to say i had been ripped off.
