2001 V7 T5 Wagon - Manual Transmission
I was wondering what my options are here for replacement of transmission parts. Clutch, Flywheel, etc...
Are there some good performance parts available. Are there OEM parts available. How easy is it going to be to get this tranny fixed when it gives up the ghost. I have read some stuff on here regarding auto transmissions from this year, but nothing bad about the manual transmission. Thoughts, comments. On another note, found a guy to replace the timing belt and tensioners for about 400 bucks, this seem reasonable.
Thanks

Transmission parts are going to be a problem. Volvo has only serviced those as exchange gearboxes.
There are clutch kits that include flywheel. I recommend the solid flywheel replacement kit. The OE flywheel is a dual mass unit and will need to be replaced when the clutch is replaced.
You are lucky. I have been looking for a car just like yours and I can't find one anywhere near me.

jimmy, why do you say that?
When I replaced the clutch in my 99 (dual mass) I didn't have to touch the flywheel, it was in perfect shape (and still is)!

All the DM clutches I have seen removed had loose springs in the hub and noticeable wear in the bearing when compared to new.
These were all 150K or more miles as the SA clutch cover gives a much longer life.
The face can't be machined on DM flywheels so they have to be changed if there are hot spots even if the springs and bearing are OK.
I guess "will need to be replaced when the clutch is replaced" is too much of an absolute statement. I guess the DM flywheel should be carefully checked and replaced if found to have support bearing wear to prevent severe damage if it fails, especially on vehicles that do not employ pilot bearings to support input shaft.
I'm a HUGE fan of self-adjusting clutch covers but obviously no fan of DM flywheels. DM's are used to hush gear rollover noise which is harmless.
