Have you checked the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservor? The reservor is two halves, a wall in between that the fluid spills over when filling the reservor. If it is empty, this could be your problem.

If it is full, then maybe it is either the clutch master cylinder of the slave cylinder leaking internally not giving the pressure the system needs to disengage the clutch.

I have an 80 240D with 322K, and it is not jerky.
