i have a 2004 volvo s60 R with with a 2.5L engine. it a nice car but turning into a pain in the ass. my wife was driving it and she said all the sudden the clutch would not go all the way down and could not shift gears so she was able to coast into a parking lot and then it would not start she said she force the clutch down hard as she could and started but only go in reverse and then she started getting a burning rubber smell. i took it to a shop the did a dyno check and said it was the clutch master cylinder, they got a new one put it in i called back and said it still wasnt working then said it was going to be the slave cylinder, clutch, or flywheel but would have to pull the transmission out to see which and just for labor was $800 so after waiting on parts and such nine days later i have to call cause they are suppose to know what the deal was and they said it was all of those and was going to be $3400 and they where working on it now. So is there a chance that all that could go out with no prior problems or any signs of the clutch going out. i am not to good with cars but i'm not that dumb and i am pretty sure i am getting taken here but have no clue what the real problem is cause i dont trust these guys. thanks, james

Wow,lotsa money...not sure how much clutch parts are for a volvo but i imagine their not cheap...
clue here i think is the burning smell...sounds like the clutch went out,clutch going out could damage the flywheel for sure..
as far aas the slave cylinder,yes it could be faulty......clutch master,hard to say,possibly was damaged when pedal was forced...who knows ....that wasn't the thing to do for sure,but i imagine i would do the same thing if broken down and in a panic type situation.
if he has to disassemble,(take trans out to inspect) to verify what failed,it would be foolish (if say clutch wasn;t worn )not to replace it,heck your in there already...
my moneys on the clutch wore out....have them give you an itemized estimate so you can see where the moneys being spent...and for sure ask to have the old parts back ...that way you will keep them honest and you can have another mechanic check and give you his opinion......your into it now tho...
hope this helps ya...
post back results...
maybe the others have some thoughts as well..

just did some price checkin' on line- yea parts can be high....some places i was at $1600.00 plus not including taxes and these are on line parts warehouses with discounted prices....not probably what their getting plus you have to figure the markup ..they are entitled to profit on the parts.
