clutch

Unusually, my W124CE has a manual transmission. Recently my clutch pedal has been feeling very odd and in the last few days it was almost not disengaging at all. So today I went about changing the clutch master cylinder which is situated up near the pedals held tightly up against the...

Hi I am in the process of replacing the water pump on my W123 1986 230E I have been able to remove the old water pump but the electromagnetic fan on the old one will just not budge. Any ideas or suggestions tips or tricks for how I can get this off?

I changed my W202 clutch after 60K miles because I felt it slipped and I didn't want to damage the gear box. That was in 2003 and I spent £250 for the clutch and additional £200 for labour. My SLK200 has done 50K miles. I don't to make the mistake to change the clutch too early when there is...

I had to push my W202 today because I couldn't get the car in gear! It decided it didn't want work any more and gave up near my home in Aintree and had to push it into Aintree race course which was embarrassing (not had to push a car for a long time). It did work for a short time after a short...

As the title suggests, I'm after one of the "clutch slim-jims"; the little flat metal U's that can be used to check the thickness of a clutch without taking it apart. If I can't find it, I guess I'll need to make it, but if you forgot to sell it with your W202, I'de be more than happy to buy...
