Unfortunately the new reproduction clutch release forks aren't made correctly, something we found out a couple of years ago and this includes what Volvo is now selling.

At the time, we still had new old stock clutch forks, so we installed those.

The problem lies in the location of the 2 pins that hold the release bearing.

As suggested, installing some shims under the pivot might make the new clutch fork work.
