Noisy clutch when pedal up

[mike65]

My manual 190e has a "hissing" noise when the clutch pedal is up (ie engaged) anyone like to tell me if this is an expensive fix? The engagment of clutch/gears is rather jerky when cold esp in first and second...

Sounds like a thrus bearing. The jerky bit sounds like oil on the clutch drive plate .I think a new clutch is on your xmas list. When you take the gearbox out check the rear crankshaft seal for oil leaks... Hope this helps....

Cheers I thought a clutch kit was the most likely solution...it'll have to wait until the new year.

Bad news at this time of year. It's not too expensive for a clutch kit for a 190.About 4hours to do the job.

As said above replace release bearing, pressure plate and clutch itself cos its not worth the effort just replacing one of these items.

I agree, would repace the entire. Should last quite a few years.

The oil though may require some investigation, is oil getting onto the clutch plate? Engine crankshaft seal?

Totally agree fit a three in one clutch assembly the only other thing I would do if the friction plate does not have any oil contamination on it I would get the flywheel skimmed just in case the surface is distorted a little

Just browseing GSF and I see they list two possible clutch kits one has "26 spl" the other has "10 spl" and is quite a bit cheaper. Are "spl" splines?

M18905--CLUTCH KIT-215mm 26spl---201: 190E 2.0 102.961 102.962 10/82>08/93 (Ch.A028896> Ch.F000523>)--85.00

M18935--CLUTCH KIT-215mm 10spl---201: 190E 2.0 102.961 102.962 10/82>08/93 (>Ch.A028895 >Ch.F000522)--57.00

Does this mean I have to check how many splines my car has on the input shaft?
