I need to start another thread somehow connected to the previous I've started about the anti-jerk system.
This time I need to know how hard is to replace the clutch?
I've done it on other cars, but not on a Mercedes.
Do I need to remove the engine?
Or can it be done just removing the gearbox from underneath?
Someone mentioned: "The problem (jerkying) could be with the light weight flywheel! These Engines like some weight behind them I know a 240d flywheel on a 300d will cause this problem on the 5cylinder diesel because it is to light"
Right now I have a lightweight solid flywheel from 190e cosworth,
and the clutch is special made sinter clutch by Techniclutch
Anyway I need to replace the sinter clutch, as I want to pull a caravan, and this sinter one doesn't allow any slip.
When I'll be pulling the caravan I will need some slip, especially when starting driving uphill from still.
Which clutch shall I go for?
dual mass / or single mass?
anybody got a suggestion?
Anyway the clutch is a must replacement...even if it fixes the jerkying problem or not.
thanks.
