Clutch
Our dear beloved Volvo 340 with a 1.721 cc manual engine has a broken clutch We desperately want to repair her, but does anybody know how many teeth splines the clutch should have? I made any inquiry on ebay regarding a complete kit and they say there are 2 vehicle types, one with 20 spline teeth and the other with 26. Anybody know? Any help would be appreciated before our baby gets towed away by the guardia!!

Re: Clutch
Hi,
There is only one clutch disc for the 340 1.7 petrol (B172K) engine - it has 20 splines.
(The e-bay supplier is probably referring to the 1.7 engine in the 440 (B18K) which is essentially the same engine. The clutch disc in this unit has 26 splines).

Re: Clutch
As Mac says, there has been an error in pretty much ever supplier parts book for as long as I've known the cars. I've *never* seen a 1.7 340 with 26 splines and 10 years ago was looking through scrappies at different model years trying to find one (it would have helped with a project at the time).
I've only ever seen 20's, you'll find the clutch release bearing would be incorrect in the 26 kits as well.

Re: Clutch
It is and I also have a feeling the clutch cover does not fit correctly.
20 Spline is the only real 340 1.7 clutch
