Re: Your thoughts on a used V50 wagon?

Hey, come on in, the waters fine! I just sold off my 95 850GLT and got an '11 V50 T-5 about a month ago and I'm loving it. My 850 was a unicorn 5-speed but after almost 300k, I was ready for an auto on this. Besides I still have a '67 Amazon stick for fun. Did quite a bit of reading forum stuff on t...

Re: 97 855R Terrible Brake Dust..Ceramic Pads or big brake k

I used the akebonos on my manual '95 850 and loved them, no dust, plenty of controllable power. I put the same on my wife's auto '99 S70 and they felt terrible. I think it's just because of the differences in the way the cars are driven with the different trannies... I just put blue box pads on her ...

Unfortunately it could be your dash is in the process of breaking free from the firewall, a not uncommon problem with these and numerous threads for fixes... Or it's just gremlins...

Re: Very General Manual Transmission Question

Hey, this is actually my first post here although I love this site and have been using it for a long time. I've got a 95 850 glt with a stick and I love it to death. For me the clutch feels great; not too high or low and decent take-up and engagement. I find it very stable and predictable. Even my w...
