Bought my first Volvo ever today. A 1992 Volvo 240 (245) five-speed manual. I've been binging your content for the last three weeks. Keep the videos coming, they're absolutely invaluable to a new hobby mechanic like me. The speedometer needle jumps around a lot, and sometimes it decides to work as it should. Do you have any tips on what I could do? Need to get the car through the ol' inspection.. Should be fun. :)
@Involvod2 жыл бұрын
Congrats on the purchase! Are you sure they check the Speedo for the inspection? I've not had an issue in the UK or Germany. As for the fix, these instrument clusters are a bit problematic, you could try and take it apart, check it for corrosion and clean it, sometimes the capacitors leak. I had the same thing on the fuel gauge on the 740, the only thing that worked was to replace the separate gauge unit itself..

@@Involvod Thank you! It is worth mentioning that I’m located in Norway, and the car got a strike for this exact issue on the last inspection. No idea how he got it through successfully. I read that there’s a connector and not a wire since it’s a ‘92. He told me he had inspected the cluster in the past but couldn’t find the issue. He told me yesterday that all the wires looked fine. He also advised me to just buy a new cluster, but it had to have the same number in the middle in order to work correctly. I’ll have to do a deep dive tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

Mega job! Thanks god you were able to survive through it as at times it was scary to watch 😅 I'm having exactly the same problems with my M47 on a '92 wagon: the pedal is too high and the first gear doesn't always want to engage from the first try. When I was buying the brick about a year ago the previous owner gave me a tip and advised to switch gears "sequentially" by guiding the shifter into the second gear before switching it into the first gear. Basically I have to go through this ritual about half of the time when I need to switch to the first gear. I thought it was caused by plastic bushings being worn out and changed them to the bronze ones made by STSmachining only to find out that it improved nothing. Now it's obvious that it's time to change the clutch 😌

I felt for you, knowing the feeling when I was much younger, can I support the gearbox once it releases itself from the splines? Especially if a cast iron exterior. Thank goodness doing benchpresses in my teens did come in use. Lol. I learnt to put a sling rope under the box with a stick inside twisting like applying a tourniquet to support the weight , so as not resting on the spline shaft or my chest. Thank goodness perseverance (stubbornness) is a British trait .

You're a brave soul attempting that - I used to do my clutch on my diesel 240, and possibly my petrol one too, did it on the street - a nightmare job! The worst bit was, as with you, getting the gearbox & bell-housing separated from the engine, and putting it back on. I was told that there is a real danger of damaging the gearbox main shaft if the weight of the gearbox goes on the shaft whilst separating or joining the gearbox & bell-housing with the engine. I was advised to get some long bolts with the same diameter & thread as the bell-housing bolts, cut the heads off them, and use them as guides to remove, and replace the gearbox, thus avoiding the weight going on the gearbox shaft, which is what I did - I didn't have to twist the gearbox, but did have to use screwdrivers and crowbars to lever the bell-housing away from the engine. Good luck in getting it back on. I wouldn't do it again because of my back - it took ages to recover from the last time! And I'm getting too old for it now (56).

It did take me 3 days of labor, but I eventually got it all done and got the car driving again. I used much the same method as you to get the gearbox out, originally i tried to support it on all kinds of wooden blocks. But after realizing it was not that heavy, I lifted it down with my chest. And had about as much frustrating wiggling with it aswell :D Good times. Love these old cars.

I find that it's so much easier to just unbolt and remove the entire driveshaft vs. splitting it. Also, the engine will tilt so much easier if you loose the 6 x nuts for the lower motor mount brackets that go through the crossmember. This then allows better access to the top bell housing bolts from underneath the car using a variety of extensions. A proper breaker bar will also help removing the top bolts for the transmission. The only fastener that needs threadlocker is the lower small / short Allen key for the gear shifter. I also use a *small* amount of lithium grease on the main shaft of the transmission to allow the clutch disc to travel smoothly (upon re-install) - and a tiny bit where it goes through the pilot bearing and into the back of the crankshaft. This will make removing the transmission for the next clutch job easier.
@HorsepowerDashcam2 жыл бұрын
You seem to have the later Version of transmission - differently to mine: Mine doesnt have the rubber donut in the back and the speedo cable coming out of it (so analog tacho). In case somebody searches for a replacement trans. (The M46 with OD also needs a shorter propshaft) I replaced my M47 with one from a Diesel engine. That works well - the other way around not so much, as you need to: Change the bell housing (need for paper gasket), Change the gear-lever trestle (or however its called?) and remove a sleeve on front of the trans-input-shaft (it's destroyed hence not the other way around). If you're in there: replace the small ball bearing behind the clutch and Flywheel on the engine side, the one basically inside the crank shaft (text me if you dont know what I mean), they tend to go bad and that could also result in your squaky noise. Top left Bolt was really a sucker for me too. If I remember correctly I reached for it from behind the Transmission with all the extensions I could find after I lowered it a bit - didn't even try it from the engine Bay side. The locating pins between the bell housing and engine wouldn't come out though. Only with patience and a really big Hammer. Mad respect for doing the work below the car on Jackstands. We cursed even with a lift. That video will be on my channel by the way at some point in the future. Dunno when though as I'm busy with cutting other stuff first.

there is a hack to render this job way easier, remove the shifter extension, pull the gearbox to disengage the dowel pins and rotate the gearbox and the bellhousing 90 degrees CCW ( when under the car, facing to the flywheel) so the starter boss on the bellhousing clears the floor and you can pull the gearbox in a straight movement toward the rear of the car.

Having had to pull a flywheel/clutch thanks to my smooth brain kiester not using threadlocker, I can 100000000% assure you its just easier to pull the entire engine on a 240. I've done it like 3 times now and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks, that's definitely a thought for next time. But where are you supposed to put threadlock? The flywheel bolts?

Read somewhere that a Ford clutch plate works, too?

Good job getting the gearbox out on your own. There must have been a fair amount of editing to remove the bad language that inevitably comes with working underneath a car? Personally I think I would manage less than 5 mins of broadcastable material.

Yes lots of editing as usual, but it's all worth it 😄

God almighty, you must like doing things the hard way. It will build character though LOL. Nice job, done well. I hope the reinstall goes easier.

Mate You seem to have quite a lot of patience. Is it legit or just clever editing?
