'09 c300 6 speed clutch problems
Sooo my '09 c300 seems to have its clutch go out @ 58k miles.
I drive normal, been driving manual for 12 years and every car i've had was manual clutch never needed to be repalced for at least 80k at the min.
anyways my symptoms are i'll engage the clutch and have to move it towards first gear the car will start to move slowly and when i hit a certain mph/rpm it'll pop into first gear and from then on i can switch gears but i'll sort of have to really force it into the next gear. if i come to a full stop i'll have to repeat the process again.
i stopped driving the car. i definitely don't want to do anymore damage to it. i made a few calls and had an MB tech actually come by my place. by just driving it and taking a look at it he said it can either be the clutch but it also can be the hydraulic unit that controls the clutch?
anybody else out there have any problems like this? if so with symptoms like mine was it a clutch replacement or something else?
tomorrow is sunday and everywhere is closed i won't be able to take it anywhere until monday.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
