My S60R is leaking clutch fluid from transmission (I can see where it is coming out). Evidently not uncommon for this model. Evidently to find the leak means dismantling anyways and likely better off replacing entire clutch. Only 30,000 miles. UGHHHHow much does it cost to replace a clutch on a Volvo S60R?You are very fortunate to have covered 30K miles .
MIne covered 11k miles from brand new and the clutch shattered . This was replaced under warranty and another 11 k miles and the same thing happens with the outcome that though my car is still under warranty I had to pay for this . 800 Eur . The most odd thing is that this has always happened on the same day which is 20th February 2008 and 20th February 2009 with the exact milage .
Your problem is coming from the oil seals . Volvo gear boxes have a tendency of running hot through the emmision of the clutch . These clutches run hot and oil seals do not maintian the seal . Regretable to say that the whole unit has to be desmantled and all oil seal replaced . Whilst you are at it its best to have a look at the crankshaft oil seal . You will find this behind the fly wheel . Its best to replace it . There are certain bolts which you also have to replace and ensure that you tie these bolts according to the torque pressure specified .How much does it cost to replace a clutch on a Volvo S60R?Not uncommon?
