Re: Sachs Internal Clutch Slave Cylinder Failure @60K miles

Post by V70r carbon »

I've got a 2005 V70R with 104k miles on it and the clutch has never been opened up (yet). I just recently felt a vibration through the clutch pedal on every start up and whenever the revs are between 1500 to 2000. The clutch isn't slipping at all and I was wondering if anyone has an idea if it could be the clutch or lower motor mounts since I changed the top one along with the strut bushings. It almost feels as if the exhaust is resting on the pedal linkage which it isn't, but there's definately a rattle coming from something. Any ideas from anyone?
Thanks.

That's classic exhaust hangar issue. I have a P2 needing a clutch right now, but the clutch on these cars is really, really solid and is one of the last things to worry about.

I’m at 235k on the original T5 clutch and hydraulics , which I have bled once. This car gets 95% highway miles but has had 6 learners, too. I even pulled a 3500# boat out of the water with it once. It wasn’t happy.
