REPLACING THE BULB FOR THE

are accessible from the inside of the
luggage compartment.

pressing it to one side after which the
bulb, which has a bayonet fitting, can be
removed.
Power Transmission
25 Cleaning the overdrive oil strainer
The oil strainer is behind a cover on the
left side of the overdrive (see picture)
and should be cleaned each time the oil
in the transmission is changed (that is
about every 12,500 miles, 20,000 km).
The oil strainer should be cleaned in
gasoline or white spirit and blown dry,
preferably with compressed air. Check
that the gaskets are in good condition
before you fit the strainer and the cover.
26 Checking the clutch yoke free travel
In order to avoid risk of the clutch slipping, the clutch yoke free travel should be
checked at regular intervals and adjusted if necessary after every 3,000 miles (5,000
km). If the clutch does not disengage in a satisfactory manner, the free travel of the
clutch pedal should also be checked. See page 33 for data. The clutch should be
checked and adjusted in a Volvo workshop, which has the equipment for this
purpose.
28 Overhauling the brakes
After every 12,500 miles (20,000 km) the brakes should be examined at a Volvo
workshop for wear, If the car is used for hard driving, this should be done more often.
It is possible that the brake linings can be fully worn and should this happen there is
a risk for the brake discs and the brake drums becoming damaged, so it is important
to have this overhaul carried out at the above-mentioned intervals.
