Yes, they use the same clutch and flywheel. There's just a center-bearing, that needs to be replaced on the engine (in the center of the flywheel). Actually, I ended up with the Volvo flywheel and the VW clutch, because the VW flywheel was a bit scorched from offroading abuse and the Volvo clutch was at the rivets, while the VW clutch was at 50%. The LT box in the 4x4's are the 5-gear tranny, that was available for all LT's. It's a dogleg gearbox, where the first gear is a crawl gear and the fifth gear is at 1:1. The max speed an LT would go at was varied, depending on what rear differential you ordered it with. /M |

Why is this important? Mine was stored in my trunk laying down like in the picture for ~2 months. My fan always seems to spin even when the engine temperature is cool -- could storing it like this be the reason?

"Please note that all viscous clutches MUST be stored upright – i.e. in the same position they are in when installed on the engine. This is to ensure the oil does not leak out, because if it is stored flat (on its front or back) it will leak and will fail."

They're actually feck all use to me, but sure, I've stuck them on the shelf.
It's one of the parts, that differs between Volvo and LT again. My fan is directly mounted to the crank. Some of the smaller LT's had a viscous-fan, but placed slightly different. /M Last edited by Marlow; 10-01-2013 at 02:34 PM. |
