Hi guys
First Post
Just bought a sprinter 2014 LWB 2.1
Highish miles 174,000
Full service history ex lease .
Clutch is smooth and all gears locate , but very stiff , all equally stiff , non different than the other , just needs a heavy push to do the gear changes.
No clunking or noise and van its self drives smooth on the 200 mile journey home with it .
Going to get it checked out .
Anyone had anything similar?
Gear box ?
Flywheel and clutch?
Linkage?
Cables ?
Am clueless

Hello and welcome.
I do not know much about the sprinter but the enclosed link might give you some pointers. I know that the vehicles are of a different age but it might help.

Hi I have the exact same problem with my newly aquired 2015 sprinter with 195,000 miles

From what I can gather it turned out to be the clutch itself. And also the flywheel had to be resurfaced is this correct? Any info would be helpfull cheers guys.
