Checking the function of the clutch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Test drive the car.

If 1st or reverse gear is stiff, but the other gears operate normally or are less stiff, the clutch is slipping. This is caused by excessive friction between the input shaft and the clutch hub.

NOTE:

Moderate tightening of the clutch plates may mean that greater force is required to engage gears, in particular 1st and reverse gears.
