I currently own a 2006 V70R with a manual transmission. I bought the car with 12k miles on it in March of '08 and a few months ago (March of '09 with 33k miles) my clutch completely broke. The dealer in Ocala replaced the clutch but it has never been the same and I am still having problems with it. Specifically the clutch is sticky and the gearbox is very stiff. I have taken it to the dealer in Tallahassee but they refuse to even take it apart because they say they cant reproduce the problem.
I am absolutely in love with my car and really want to find a good dealer to work on my clutch (has to be a dealer for warranty service). If anyone is near Jacksonville, Pensacola, Orlando, Tampa, Ocala or Tallahassee I would be more than willing to compensate for someone with a V70/S60R to meet me at their local dealer so that the tech can see/feel the difference between the way the clutch/gearbox should feel and the way mine feels on an R car.
