Have been informed by mechanic that the reason my clutch (installed last February) has burned out and requires replacement is because the clutch line that runs between the clutch master and slave is frayed/defective and this has caused the early death of the replacement clutch. I have a 1982 MB 240D sedan.

Have been looking at parts websites and cannot seem to find this part. My mechanic has contacted MB directly and it will be several weeks before they acquire a replacment part.

Any thoughts on where I might find this part at a reasonable price in a more timely fashion?????

Thanks.
