If you have a good bleed and good actuation on the hydraulics, then the next thing would be the pressure plate. A worn lining will slip, and a cracked pressure plate will not disengage. I had one crack on me with about 140k on the car and the clutch just stopped working. With an 82 240D, you've probably got the aluminum box transmission, and plenty of room in the transmission tunnel to work with.

When I pulled the old pressure plate out, it looked to be in good condition but a careful look showed me that it was cracked and no good. A new pressure plate fixed my problem (good hydraulics, no release, in this case on a 300TD with manual)
