DAZ-13B Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Saw it getting pushed into the workshop today..and so the fun begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAZ-13B Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 So after a few days poor Jackson gets a bit of time between jobs and a bit of time there to finally get to pulling the box back out, the slave cylinder was removed and sure enough the was fluid dripping out of it, thankfully the clutch disc didn't get much on it. Now at this point yours truly can't get out in the workshop much as he has a busy life in the spare parts section...And as I'm only a parts interpreter my Ideas are sometimes Ignored..Young Jackson gets to fit the new slave cylinder and the box goes straight back on....this time Jackson and mechanic no 2 decide not to put the rest of the subframe back on before bleeding.Well you can guess what happened next.... new slave didn't have a chance.Nobody checked the Vadis print off print off I had provided a week ago when it was all going back together on how to adjust the self adjusting pressure plate, so it was way off and the slave extended far beyond its capabilities and tore the inner seal right off the shaft again....So out of the five mechanics we have working here only one could explain how to pre adjust the pressure plate, apparently it is similar to the Mazda B4000 ute.New slave ordered and tomorrow is a new day....

Tzantushka1568908311 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 ...on how to adjust the self adjusting pressure plate...THERE'S YA PROBLEM!

lookforjoe Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble!I didn't have to make any adjustments to the DM pressure plate when I installed mine 2 years ago - it came pretensioned..Anyway, at least you know the cause & can move on Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble!I didn't have to make any adjustments to the DM pressure plate when I installed mine 3 years ago - it came pretensioned..Anyway, at least you know the cause & can move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hussein - self-inflicted Thomas - self-inflicted (by not getting a tow when he should have)Daz - needs to lay down dome smack down I'm all good again thankfully apart from the seals on my angle gear weeping enough now to annoy and worry me after the pull down, clean and refit of the whole lot. Very little fluid but man that stuff stinks out the garage when hot.About to order all the seals. Anything else I should consider when pulling the sucker out?

lookforjoe Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hussein - self-inflicted The valve snapping was not self inflicted. The prior valve bending was.About to order all the seals. Anything else I should consider when pulling the sucker out? Wish CJ gave up his hard won secrets on bearing part numbers Drill out the lower rear stud so you can drain the BG.Do the RS inner & outer differential seals while you're in there.Make sure you measure the height of the crown wheel retainer, as well as the # of turns it takes to remove it. That sets the backlash, and must go back to EXACTLY the same point. That large oring is the usual cause of leaks on the right side of the BG.

thomasw Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Thank you Hussein. You do know I was joking right .....And thank you very much for that additional insight! Will save heartache no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAZ-13B Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Well the slave cylinder bleeding went to plan this time, gearbox is in, fitted the transfer case and the crossmember is up and bolted on..Here is a pic of how the alignment marks should look when a new clutch plate is installed...notice the small spring compressed at the bottom of the pic ? there are three of these running around the perimeter of the pressure plate .Failure to get this right will result in a damaged slave cylinder and the box will need to come back out.A few more things noticed like the ball joint rubbers have seen better days... Jackson has tomorrow off for Tafe ( College tech training ) so we might have it drivable by Thursday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you have to do to make adjustments? Is there a slide/adjuster to bring it to the proper tension/height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAZ-13B Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 As with most things these days there is a special tool for everything, there are two Volvo tools used for adjusting the fingers on the pressure plate. One tool consists of three springs that are fitted to a ring that bolts to the pressure plate.There is also a tool that fits to the pressure plate whilst its all bolted to the car, it compresses the clutch fingers allowing the ring tool with the three springs toreset the clutch pressure plate back to the original setting.I just used a press and and a couple of big screwdrivers and with the help of a friend managed to adjust it to the correct setting....Anyway I drove it all the way home tonight, seemed pretty good except for a lot of rattles inside the car, some around the dash. others around the tailgate areaPower seems sluggish down low then it gets better in the mid rev range,nothing like the 2004 R that I have... I will throw a boost gauge on it and see whats happening there.Anyway its home now and I can concentrate on all the little stuff....Time for a nice cold beer me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Happy dance times. Let me know where you fit your boost gauge. I'm still trying to find a permanent place for mine ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to see if I can borrow the Volvo tools from my local dealer before I embark on my KM Flywheel install. Meant to post this pic first, I have no EDIT privileges..
