I recently started my new company and i have 2005 Volvo.. not a bad truck it runs with the best of them out on the road but pulls like $%!%.. but i have bigger problem.. when i ever i come to a stop or start and i push the clutch all the way down i have to grind the truck into gear to get it to go in.. Is something wrong with my Clutch Brake or is this normal in a Volvo??

It could be that the clutch brake is out of adjustment or broken.

It also could be that the clutch is not releasing properly.

It's often caused by lack of clutch maintenance; requires a clutch adjustment. If clutch has already been adjusted, then release system must be checked.

I also have a 2005 Volvo. When I first drove it with the salesman I noticed a difference to the clutch right away. It was explained to me that it is a hydralic clutch which acts a bit different. I have had some problems learning to shifting it. I too have to hit the clutch brake at times just to grind it into gear. Check to make sure that you don't have a air leak on the top of the trany. I had a leak there and after getting it fixed shifting did improve.
