I fear the clutch in my 1983 240D is giving up. Most of the time, I have no problem shifting into or out of any gear. But on occasion, the clutch refuses to fully disengage, making it difficult to select first gear when stopped. This is an intermittent problem, sometimes going days without a reoccurrence. At 175,000 miles, clutch failure doesn't seem out of line but should I also consider a syncro or linkage problem with the transmission? And how do I determine which is the more likely? __________________________ Onto
