MB Trac clutch bleeding.

Must be a Mercedes thing as my g wagon slave has just gone... Reading this thread I'm dreading bleeding the system !

Sorry for another Landy related suggestion. I had similar when the slave cylinder piston made itself a hole in the clutch arm. Hope this helps

Well I think I now know what has happened. I have rotated the clutch lever to enable the slave cylinder to be 50% compressed. The slave cylinder is now working properly with clutch pedal operating as normal however the clutch is still not working so I think Tyz05 is right the clutch is worn and will need to be replaced. Time to call in the professionals and watch the decline in my bank balance.

 

Thanks to all for suggestions

Spoke to the professionals who also think it needs a new clutch (complete unit) although they have suggested it might be a bent fork which they have seen before on a MB Trac.
