Hi Friends,

I got this 300 serie that I want to know it’s origin of. I was wondering if the VIN is decodable.

Looking for the type and year (I think 345)

VIN: Xlb345253jc411569


Edit:
Ah found it looks like - 1988 model

Did not make any photos but spend another full day replacing the clutch. The spring of the clutch arm was bent.. Car is now running and shifting fantastic. ready for Saturday.. last race of this year

The pressure group seems to be under allot of pressure, I can see its bent in looks to be damaged... could it be I installed the old one I pulled that was broken last year and I forgot to toss it.....

Is that the one? http://www.daparto.de/Teilenummernsuche/Sachs/883082999763 Quite a price difference, but it'd be good to know whether it works out for you in race mode :-) Cheers Tom I was not aware of that model... it looks like it would fit. The model from the B204FT is IIRC Sasch 3082 204 033 h...

Actually i am now looking into the Pressureplate of a B204FT.. apparently thats the stronger brother for it? No idea on partnr's and if it will actually work though. That still leaves me with finding a propper Release bearing. at this point i would like to replace everything if it turns out this is ...

I could loosen the clutchcable and peek trough the hole in the clutchhousing to see the state of the diaphragm....

Gaz damper are in, lifted the engine again to check the clutch I confirmed after long debate that it must have been the clutchplate https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pcNlK76pFUM/VgKpLaj09KI/AAAAAAAAF50/60jLFIAf8K8/s640-Ic42/IMG_8918.JPG Put in a NOS OEM plate and replace the Pressureplate for a use...

Obliviously there is something wrong. I changed the clutch on my 360 a few years ago and the old pressure-plate was knackered. A new one made the clutch 'feel' a lot better. Was the pressure plate and/or fly-wheel scored at all? Actually I remember that getting the gear lever mechanism all back tog...

Hi there, I have had this odd issue with the Volvo 360 track car, when the engine is running its pretty difficult to change gears. I have to be pretty violent to change gears, reverse usually comes along with brushing of the teeth. I though this would be due to the clutch being on its end, but i hav...

Forgot to update this in while, Had another race and did allot of things on the car. Engine ran great even was in for the 4th place at one point but i span out.. i was pretty rusty but i had so much fun! to bad the last race the clutch gave out so time to pull that engine again :) Also got some dama...

Sold the parts car off and installed the engine, she runs again :cheers: Topped off the axle with some fresh oil while i was at it, put in around a liter, it needs 1,4 so need to get some more but for now it will play https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gxJX8sI3i4E/VUNJo71SgzI/AAAAAAAAFHo/pXmuATcA4_M...

Donor found, block pulled. Let the rebuild begin!
