    Hi all,
    I just bought an '01 S60 T5 with a 5 speed. I can't say
    enough about this beast! And I'm here to tell you that
    driving this car is almost better than sex!!!! But.......
    Can someone tell me what the Heck the story is with the
    freakin' clutch? As I let the clutch pedal out and out and out,
    it finally grabs almost at the top. So, if I'm not thinking at the
    moment or sitting on a hill, I let the clutch out and give it a
    little gas......then it doesn't start to grab for at least 3 feet of
    peddle travel....and by the time it grabs, I've got the revs up
    to about 6K and it "launches" or I've spazzed and let off the
    gas just as the clutch grabs and my car and I sit there and gag
    or stall.

    Now, I know it's hydraulic and all. Plus, my dealer is pretty
    much clueless on Volvo clutches 'cause they don't see that
    many. So, I'm told that there is no adjustment. I mean, I've
    driven things with clutches for at least 40 years and I have
    never had this much trouble getting a smooth move on the
    pedal.

    So, after this tedious story here's my question:
    Is there any way to adjust the clutch pedal travel ????
