A must for swapping a T5 into a redblock Volvo





I purchased this package from Yoshifab when looking for a no nonsense flywheel and clutch setup for my B23ET + T5 conversion into my 245. I had read all about the different combinations on various forums. Many of these setups appeared to work but they all had their nuances that needed to be sorted to make it work. Couple that with the tiny Volvo presence here in Australia and it seemed like the T5 swap was going to end up making the car worse than better as finding a decent setup locally was going to be difficult. I came across the Yoshifab kit which advertised it is a "bolt on" setup with minimal adjustment needed. I spoke with Josh who was very helpful and after a few days and nights of research I bit the bullet and ordered the kit. It arrived reasonably quickly and included everything I needed. True to its claim of being a bolt on affair I simply mounted the parts just like i would do with the stock components. The machining of the flywheel is second to none and the LH holes are perfectly aligned. The Clutchmasters clutch setup also looked like a quality bit of kit. I installed the entire package and combined with the Yoshifab upgraded TO bearing I only needed ~4mm of shimming under the pivot ball to end up with a clutch that is light enough for daily duties yet bites hard when rolling onto boost. I have been driving this car everyday for about the past 7 months with this clutch + flywheel package installed and have nothing but good things to say about it. I was a little worried about spending such a large amount of money on a product that was seemingly unknown to myself and others I spoke to in my Volvo circle but I am very glad I decided to go this route. It made my T5 swap so much more enjoyable and let me spend more time driving the car instead of chasing suppliers and troubleshooting clutch issues from mismatched components. Thank you Yoshifab!
