1995 Volvo 850 clutch


the gears are hard to engage when engine is hot, there is plenty of clutch pedal pressure when hot or cold (engine) also the car will creep forward when in gear with clutch fully depressed but this is only when engine has warmed up.
any help gratefully recieved

Hi there,

it sound like the clutch is just about ready to be replaced , is there any push rod adjustment available? if non adjustable clutch and hydraulics are sound i would be thinking a worn clutch / faulty pressure plate that is not throwing fully.
