Hi got the clutch out of my 850 1994 2.3 t5, which should have a 240mm clutch.

To find she has a 228mm clutch? is this right? thought only the 2.0 turbos had this one?

Will a 240mm clutch fit?

Should be 240mm as you say, So would have thought a 240mm will bolt straight back in.

New 240mm R clutch cover lines up with the smaller clutch, Tf lol.

So some idiot had put a 2.0 turbo 228mm clutch in NOT so long ago to save cost i reckon.

Which is Why she was slipping.
