clutch

Hi all :) I've been encountering what I think are transmission issues with my 2011 Mercedes C-Class Blue Efficiency Sport sedan lately. It feels like the gears are slipping, resulting in a less than smooth transition between shifts. When I accelerate, I notice a delay in speed increase despite...

Hi all. I was a member here before, but could not login with my old account, so had to create a new one. Been inactive too long I guess; the Merc has been behaving well these last 11 years :-). I had been experiencing a slipping clutch lately, so had to do something. I made a youtube...

Hi, it's Juior Mechanic. I have been seeking a solution for my problem, and haven't found it. And I have no idea where to look, where to begin. My car is a 1991 w124 230CE (catalytic converter) five speed manual gearbox The engine is smooth, drives and runs ok, it also starts ok. Problem...

Hi all, I did some research and could not find much about clutch upgrades for a c230k w202. Plans for the Engine is that it will be a project to where the car will be running roughly 400+bhp within this year. I came across Black Diamond Kevlar stage 2 kit and Drive Torque Stage 1,2,2.5,3...

Hi everyone, newbie here :D For the past while I've been experiencing a light ticking noise whenever I let my car idle. I have found that pushing on either the brake or clutch pedals slightly causes the ticking to stop, but I really don't want to have to keep doing that for ever just to keep...

My E320 w210 cdi. Used to be a dream accelerating, when I really floored it would rev up easily and fly off. Ever since one day of driving it hard and pulling, it's started to do this slipping type thing. It always happens at 2.5 to 3k revs when really flooring it. It feels like a slipping...

Hi folks, i bought an E250 from my local Mercedes dealer less than 5 months ago. It's already been back to them for a wheel bearing and housing and now my clutch is slipping. I've dropped it off for them to look at tomorrow but i'm not particularly hopeful. I got a 12 month approved used...

I was using my Vito with no problems, turned off the engine, started her up and the gear would not engage as if the clutch was not depressed. I turned the engine off, pumped the pedal vigorously, started her up and it was fine. Drove home fine (10 miles), the next day, no clutch and pumping the...

Hi guys, first time poster here... Basically my 2007 C180k SE Coupe has just broken down. The local Mercedes Benz dealer/garage have looked at it and they want £2224 to fix the clutch/flywheel problem, which will leave a noisy gearbox. Gearbox repair included comes to £4700! Problem is its...

Hello, Over the past couple of days, I have noticed the odd sticky gear change, until today when I have to stop the car and switch if off, then start it in gear to change gear. Last thing this evening, if I started it in gear, it was actually partially engaged and moving on the...

Over the last two days my W124 has first felt like the synchro was going - crunchy gear-changes (alleviated by double de-clutching), and just now would not go into reverse as all - much grinding. I let it drop down the slope alongside the house to park it, but then could not select 1st (or any...

Hi, The clutch pedal on my Mercedes vito 112 51 plate dropped to the floor and wont return while I was changing gear the other day, it wont engage gear etc. I was thinking it was the master or slave cylinder. Is there a way of identifying the fault? What sort of cost/man hours would be...

Hi bit confused about my 300TD cooling.... never had a Diesel before so not sure what's normal! Car seems to take forever to warm up compared to my 230TE! Tested the coolant sensor, seems fine so I'm going to replace the thermostat, although apparently it was replaced a couple of years...

Hello all, I have recently purchased the above car on a 02 plate. I am having trouble with starting in the mornings. It takes a good 2 or 3 goes to get started. once running runs all day ok. I have noticed a slight drip of a plastic pipe (fuel line????) in the front of the engine above the...

My W202 C200 (1999 reg.) has just been the subject of a costly auto transmisson part-rebuild after it went to a specialist for a simple fluid change - I intend to post the reasons why when I've more time, as a warning to others about what might happen or to see if I've been 'done'! My question...
