The symptoms suggest the clutch either isn't engaging enough to allow
shifting - which checking the hydraulics as you describe should help - or
possibly a warped flywheel. If all the hydraulic repairs don't fix it, that
would be somthing to check. Not expensive to actually repair - usually $40
or $50 at a machine shop, but of course, getting to it means removing the
tranny - then you get into the "Well, while we're in here we might as
well...." you know the rest.
Good luck -

Subject: [MBZ] '83 240D clutch won't work
My wifes '83 240D clutch won't release. I replaced the master and slave
cylinders, bled them with a pressure bleeder, and feel that the clutch is
depressing the way it previously has. Before this happened the clutch
would
have to be depressed all the way to the floor in order to shift the
transmission.
My wife had cancer and recently died. The last time she drove it, it would
not go into 3rd or 4th gear so she drove home in 2nd. The car sat for
about
a year after that.
When I recently tried to move it from the garage to the shop, the clutch
would not release. Thinking the disc might be stuck, I tried jerking the
car
with the starter without success.
I haven't been able to find anything about clutches other than
maintainence
and inspection on the MB CD.
All help will be sincerely appreciated.
