Dual mass clutches

[T4Rick]

Did they come on the 850s at all or was it only the v70s?

[Wobbly Dave]

I thought all T5s came with DMFs (dual mass flywheel) - no such thing as a dual mass clutch - AFAIK

[T4Rick]

Im really really worried now Dave ive just bought the 850R friction plate and the engine and box im using is from a 1997 car

Only some v70's had dual mass flywheels.. no 850's had them iirc

[Wobbly Dave]

Well I stand corrected then. I wasn't 100% sure. Perhaps I am too pedantic for my own good.

If your going to run a sprung friction plate like you bought youll need to fit a SMF if you havent already got one on. If you are going to do this and you are currently running a DMF youll need to modify the 850r clutch to fit.

What car is it on?

What car is it on?


My car is a 1996 but the t5 engine and box is from a 1997

[smithson007]

I would say its prob a SMF. I know i had a 1997 V70 T5 and that was just on a SMF. Prob cant be sure untill you get the clutch off. I could be wrong mind. Dont think there's any other way of telling what flywheel it it. They say you get a easier clutch pedal with a DMF.

Omg lol

My 850 AWD has a DMF, it has the B5254T engine produced late 1996

Has your DMF not gone wrong yet mate?

Its getting old as i think its the original, springs are weak (last time I did my clutch) and there is some rattling when in high gear at low rpms which I'm guessing is the DMF, but its still drives ok considering how much I abuse it.

I phoned volvo and gave them the reg and the bloke said i have a normal flywheel smf so i feel alot better now lol
