So that means there's no way to screw around with it so should just be a standard clutch adjustment, right?
God prefers Diesels Thanks this. -
Yes. Adjusting the ring in the pressure plate will move the throw-out bearing back
closer to the clutch brake. The hydraulic slave cylinder spring will move the fork back to compensate.God prefers Diesels and AModelCat Thank this. -
Volvo says no adjustment to this clutch. $2238 for new.

Other than the Solo self adjusting clutch I have never seen a clutch that could not be adjusted
in my 40 plus years as a truck mechanic. Can you get them to give you the part number
for the clutch from the build sheet for the truck? -
There is no part number on the estimate, just $1160 labor and $1078 for parts.
I called them, part# 20970192
Volvo does things a bit different, I'm told, so it's possible. Truck does have 635k on it, and was driven by multiple drivers before I got it. Occasionally it acts "odd', but I always attributed it to the slave cylinder, which has a minor leak, and the hose was replaced before I got it, with one that appears too long. -
God prefers Diesels Thanks this.

Thanks. I think I'll just go with the same one. The original one went over 600k with multiple drivers, I only expect to go another 3 years, 300k or so, sell it and retire.
