If you have a way of hanging the engine in the car it's not too hard. Someone on Answers claimed to drop the whole engine and trans unit in one piece and that it was faster than just dropping the trans. I have not had the opportunity to try that yet.(I will) The only other advise I can give you is that Volvo's are hard on throw out bearing forks and fulcrum points. I would replace them at the same time.($100) Don't forget the rear main seal and this is a great time to change the gear oil.

I will start out bye saying this is not a job for a backyard mechanic. Also as was stated previously your vehicle does not have a fork for the throw out bearing(release bearing) it has a hydraulic throw out bearing, LOCK TIGHT THE BOLTS THAT SECURE THROWOUT BEARING. They have come loose and cause massive damage ! There are a few ways to remove the trans. I would not drop the entire engine and trans assembly. Your gonna wanna make sure you replace the following components, pressure plate, driven disc, release bearing, flywheel(yes the entire flywheel) and rear main seal, replace all bolts for the flywheel(wich u will need a special socket for) and install new pressure plate bolts, all four subframe bolts. You can support the engine and lower the left side of the subframe then lower the engine to allow the the trans. to clear the body. Or you can totally remove the subframe, must support engine securely in both cases. if you remove subframe you then install the right front subframe bolt about half way in then you take a turnbuckle secure one end to the a/c compressore the other to the subframe bolt, tighten turnbuckle and pull engine all the way over until a/c compressor hits right side of the body. this will give ya enough room to remove trans. As I dip into my grey matter I now remember that you need special tools to adjust the pressure plate prior to installation. I pretty sure you will not be able to tackle this job at home ! Dude your driving an R you tellin me you cant afford the dealer to do the clutch. They sure are fun to drive, Those R's are freakin awesome. You have a bueatiful car, suck it up and allow a very experinecd dealership tech. like myself to do it ! Also its gonna take you forever and a day to bleed the clutch hydraulic system after this repair. good luck ! I can rock and roll pretty quick on this job and it takes me about 4 to 5 hours. warranty flat rate time is something around 8 hours.

i have not been dropping the power-trains but removing them from the top[ 850] both turbo and non turbo , w/automatic trans.
i have not had the opportunity to try a v-70 but suspect they will be similar nor have i had the pleasure of a manual.
i used a cherry picker and a tilting bar and removed the harness w/the engines the a/c had to be reclaimed and the right headlamp assembly had to be removed for clearance as well as a high side a/c pipe at the rt fnt corner good luck use safety stands and drain fluids before starting work [keeps the shop neat] [ps i have the advantage of an asymetrical lift] so i suspect you will need a good floor jack. if you have a problem i will continue to check here for your progress. one last item there is on the left subframe a rubber push in biscuit that acts as a cushion for transaxel this had to be removed for clearance and a new one installed it was cheap [under 15 dollars]

Not any time soon. The throwout (not thrust) bearing slides over the transmission input shaft sleeve. The transmission has to come out first.

No, you have to take out the gearbox to get at it. You will have to have a look at the fingers on the clutch plate to see if they are worn.
