Be careful - many times when the clutch slave blows out like that it is because it gets hyperextended because of another problem (clutch pivot pin, bad TOB, etc.)

Well way to make me feel more nervous!

yeah i know right

but seriously, i'd heed Chris's words, and use this as an excuse for an S50 swap. (hey, you might pull the motor anyway to break open the clutch)

[Bishop]

Does Adam still have his s50?

[blefevre]

I am betting on the 21 year old seals went bad instead of something in the transmission.

What temp thermostat are you M20 guys running?

[blefevre]

Stock. And my car still never reaches half temp.

Any of you guys know much about FWD volvos? thinking of getting one for a family hauler / banger commuter.

No need to state the obvious; they're slow...

[blefevre]

Talk to Roland.

[Cloudbase]

Thanks guys

Avoid the 850 series. They cost a lot to keep on the road. Mine made it to 233k miles before my sister wrecked it though.

The V70/S70 is ok. I have like 3 in the family. The turbocharged ones are fun, but the CEL is always on for something stupid. The naturally aspirated ones are reliable though. No issues with that one.
