MikeD is correct and I should have clarified that. I rub only a tiny amount inside the inner wall of the pivot bearing - just enough to lightly coat the surfaces. That's really all you need for a lubricant anyway (thickness of a hair is enough). If you put too much in it (heavy finger full), you'll get what Mike says. I have always coated/put some grease in my pivot bearings and so far have not had a clutch disk slip on me because of that.

The german trannies all rattle some in neutral with the clutch out.

But overall sounds like the car probly needs an entire new clutch the past coupla owner's including dpl been putting off. My guess is that's what all techs been thinkin who worked on this vehicle. And then gettin hollered at because price of repair exceeds piddling $1000 initial cost of the car. dpl, am certain yer 220D aint just another throw away car. It grieves me to see them treated as such. That $418 estimate for tranny in and out aint bad!! Parts ye need will be disc, pressure plate, throwout and pilot bearings. Expect y'all can git her permanently fixed at/near $1000 buyin yer own parts online and co-operating with tech doing the work. Hopefully with yerself not gettin bent outa shape. Once again if/when ye finally decide to pull the tranny: Pressure Plate Friction Disc Throw out bearing Pilot Bearing Trans mount, motor mounts and flex disc(?) Plus probly machining and then shimming the flywheel since its been so long. Are we wrong to assume yer MB vintage/classic 115 had clutch problems since the day ye bought it? Good news is MB transmissions are extremely forgiving, rarely dying even if the car's been abused and neglected. Last edited by 300SDog; 07-11-2008 at 05:36 AM. |

Dog, how do you determine the thickness of the shim needed?
