Post by ttermyna »

replacing clutch in a '98 v70, sachs kit doesn't seem to include locator tool. any suggestions on the best place to get one? most tools i found don't list '98 for fitment or don't give number of splines / dimensions / etc. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I did find a universal kit as you suggested, but sizes are not listed on package. None seemed perfect, but one was "close enough".

I was concerned about the same thing but the way the clutch and pressure plate are made it more or less self aligns. I roughed it in place with a socket extension and then eyeballed it to get it as close as I could.

The transmission just slid in place with no issues whatsoever.
