The car is useless. I'll take it off your hands 'cause I'm such a nice guy. [smiles] > I have never dealt with clutch issues before.

Make sure the fluid level is above the clutch outlet hose. Chances are it's the master cylinder because there is no place for the fluid to go if the slave is leaking - except out and so the leak would be obvious. There are two different length clutch rods - and at least three different manufacturers with incompatible piston-to-rod types. The system won't bleed unless the master cylinder goes _all_ the way out (pedal up) so if the rod is just a bit too long - no bleed. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
