My 1978 diesel240 mercedes is acting up. i purchesed it from my grandfather a week ago and have driven about 200 miles ontop of the 208,300. The past few days it has been makeing a ping sound after i shift threw the first three gears. last night i drove about 200 miles and it was fine but when i parked i was leaking fluid out of or around the transmission so i parked it and when i went out to start it this mourning my clutch pedal was all the way to my floorboard.. a friend said it may be a 'throw out bearing' but another friend said it may be my linkage. what do u think ? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP..... :?
