1996 Volvo 850 AWDNiceThe AWD system can put extra stress on the clutch, I found that with mine
Fortunately I fitted the self adjusting clutch and it sorted itself and I dropped the tune a bit to save it.
What MPG are you getting? I'm trying to tune mine to be less thirsty at cruise but it's not happening.
I'm hoping during some of this free time I'll get to do some tuning but got other parts to fix first (rear brake caliper stuck, front wishbone, track rod end and so on)

Thanked 2,582 Times in 2,051 PostsSorry bud I meant the actual clutch plate is self adjusting. It contains an adjusting ring which compensates for wear in the friction plate. Originally Posted by stribo
