B20 clutch same as B18? 120-130 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be jb on  Tue May 9 17:28 CST 2017 [RELATED]

I've got a 70 121, B20A with an M40. It's hard to narrow down parts specifically for a 121 since it's so rare. Is the clutch the same as... let's say a 68 122? Looking at a Luk clutch set... PN 22-001
Thanks

    Hello,

    All 4 cylinder Volvo engines with manual transmissions made from 1963-1978 with coarse spline input shafts use the same clutch kits.

    Just in case someone in the past put an early B18 flywheel on your car's engine, below is a picture of an early B18 flywheel without a clearance groove (pictured right) and the later B18/B20 6 bolt flywheel with a clearance groove.

    If you have an early B18 flywheel, your local automotive machinist can easily modify your flywheel. This groove is there for clearance for a set of rivets on the updated clutch discs.

      Great info!

      I'm surprised the older one appears to have NO holes for the dowel pins, not an 8000rpm flywheel!
