Hello guys,
So im stumped and a bit angry

at this new clutch i put in my 240D a few months ago. I replaced it with a Sachs clutch kit (new disk, pressure plate, and bearings.) Eveything went rather smoothly until I started driving it.

It would occasionally 'squeal' or slip' both before and after the clutch replacement but in the last few days, it almost continually slips unless I take it out of gear and put it back in gear. Or rev the squeals out of it

. In any case I also noticed that the car will not go above 63 MPH and, it almost seems like the clutch isn't fully engaged.

THinking the slave was the problem, I replaced that yesterday and, the squealing went away!!! For a few hours... But it still wouldnt make it past 63 without a 'surging' fight. By the end of the night, the squeal/screech was back.

I noticed when the car is stopped/off, if i press and release the clutch pedal I get this squeak from either the Master or, from something underneath the car? I got that before and assumed it was the slave as it looked suspect when I was re-installing it after the clutch.

So I have a new Master Cyl on order which should be here tomorrow.. Crossing my fingures hoping thats the problem. I will be adjusting the eccentric on the pedal today in hopes that may help but, Other than that and throwing parts at it, Im at a loss and I'm suppose to leave on Thursday morning with the car to visit a friend in KY.

ANy help or insight would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Much!
