I had a new clutch installed on my 93' 240 about a year ago. Before that I had the original clutch which lasted about 10 years!!! Anyways a couple of weeks ago, I started to hear a rattling noise when I would press down on the clutch pedal all the way. I noticed that if I did not press it completely in but just enough to put the car in first gear or reverse I would not hear the noise. I did not know what the noise was, but guessed that maybe it was the throw out bearing. Then one morning on my way to work, as I was exiting the freeway I went to take the car out of 5th gear to approach a stop light and noticed that the clutch pedal was really hard to push in. I managed to push it in and take the car out of fifth gear. I then could not put the car in any other gear. So I assume that there is defeinitely something going on with the clutch. I do not drive my car hard at all, hence my first clutch lasted 10 years. I was able to put the car in gear with the engine turned off and drive back home after several starts and stops due to traffic lights, traffic, etc. as you know when the clutch will not work you basically have to start the car with it in gear. That sucks especially on a 30 mile drive through Dallas traffic and lights.
I am sure I will have to take the transmission off to see what is the deal, but do you guys have a clue as to what is going on here? I plan to do the work myself, and your help is greatly appreciated!!!!
