Ok guys, I'll redo the flushing and try buy clutch fluid from Mercedes if they have here. That way I know I'm putting in the good stuff.

Not sure when next I'm doing a long trip but I think I'll drive the car for a while to keep an eye on it.

My wife won't mind as she loves driving my 230E Sportline (Auto)...

Will post again once I have a verdict.

Thanks,
Jase
