I have a 1999 1.8 litre V40 with a collapsed thrust bearing. It will need a new clutch which is available here in Australia, but it also needs a new gearbox input shaft housing (that the thrust bearing slides on). The old one was badly damaged when a finger broke on the pressure plate and Volvo can't supply them any more. Apparently, they were discontinued several years ago.

None are available from breakers here because most S40s/V40s were autos.

Any suggestions for NOS parts, or recommendations on UK breakers?
