so tuesday in the parking lot of school... I started... well... backup ... glowed, and glowed, and glowed, and cranked, and glowed, and glowed. now started... everything was back to norm.
started to pull out, got to the stop sign and the [BRAKE] light came on...

... I get off of the brake it goes away

...
let the clutch out... and there's an odd springy noise coming from the pedal when i relase it

make it about another mile up.... the clutch isn't engaging at all!!!!!
so yea. i had it stuck in 2nd gear. tried making it home... didn't work... had her towed.
my mechanic still hasn't called me yet.
he isn't too indepth with benz but he does have one other '81 240 auto... so he's learning...
do i have 2 different problems??? or is it somehow linked???
