Well I wish it was a lack of sleep! The clutch is operating at about 3/4 of the way up. Soon enough we will know. Today I left the window down and some husband went by on the mower and filled it with grass. I detailed it and he had no idea the window was down!
Time will tell with this one and some ...

I really have hopes when this car is lifted we can see something other than the clutch. I noticed last night it is not really shifting correctly at 3500 rpm . It becomes hard to get into gear, If I shift at 2500 RPM it shifts smooth. The car down shifts fine. I was thinking last night about the ...

Actually I have done tons of research on many things and did not say I was buying those rims but was going to check it out. I found several webpages to check the rim size. Like I said before its not a major issue for rims right now .I was checking it out not on a shopping spree yet.
As for the ...

The kit includes clutch disc, pressure plate, and release bearing. My main concern at this point is the fluid to put back .

Thank you for the post regarding the bolt pattern. It will make my shopping a little easier.

I think these rims are to big and the tires that go on them are to big. I will keep looking ... its no rush really I need to deal with the clutch situation first and than rims. I am a little shocked after talking with a Volvo dealer today. Those guys in the parts dept. seem to be glorified parts ...

Well than that is understandable! I looked at a few Honda CRV and things like that but not the mini van. I will be using this wagon for traveling to chicken shows! I could have used a mini van but its best I did not go there. I do hope all goes well with your hunting for a car you want!

Geeze you would think I am a total idiot sometimes. I found aluminum rims that are pretty nice. The man said he had 245/50/16' s on these rims. I believe he said they are 16x8 rims? Does this sound right? Is the Volvo lug pattern a very specific pattern or will it line up with other 5 lug rims?

Why do you need a sedan? My wagon was cooking down the roads today feeling pretty sporty! You never know why you might need that extra cargo space in the wagon? Also it gets about 26-28 MPG highway! Mine is not a turbo... Mine is vanilla right now until we get her dressed up! Still she gets great ...
