Are clutches for 240d/300d same?
Well? Also is a pressure plate really required?

I would think they're different but don't know for sure.

Best to check the EPC on this question. If you expect a clutch to work, I would say that conventional wisdom is that a pressure plate is required. The pressure plate clamps the clutch to the flywheel- pressing on the clutch pedal pushes the pressure plate away from the flywheel allowing the clutch to slip and/or spin.

every time i have done a clutch i buy a kit with the friction disk,pressure plate,pilot bearing,and throw out bearing. i would also consider having the flywheel turned.

Yes. Replace the pressure plate and resurface the flywheel.
Both have "worn in" to the old clutch and will make the new clutch disk wear uneven.

Do the whole deal......
G'mornin' Folks,
A bit of advice from an old maintenance and repair guy... If it were me, I would replace the pilot bearing, pressure plate, clutch friction disk, have the flywheel turned (and shimmed if necessary), throw out bearing, and anything else that you can think of that would require you to separate the transmission from the engine......then you are good to go for the next 50-75K miles...maybe 150K or more....depending on how one drives..... I have never owned a benz with a manual transmission.....so I don't know what all is in there.....but.....my '94 Ford F-150, has a hydraulic slave cylinder that actuates the clutch......if Benz sticks have something similar I would replace that as well..... As I have said around here before....I am a tad lazy, and hate working on my back.....so replacing anything that could go wrong with a new or rebuilt part from a reliable source, works fer me.......why do all of that work, and skimp on parts?? SB

I beleive my dad used the clutch plate from a 240D 4 speed when he replaced the clutch in his 300D five speed. This was several years ago but this is what I recall him saying.
