Salutations, everyone!
A 2011 Mercedes Vito W639 RWD 2.1 Diesel is in my possession.
With the engine turned off, it shifts smoothly into any gear after I adjusted the cables, which were the Mercedes-specific parts, and the gear selector arms. I feel like I'm missing a clutch because the engine won't shift into any gear when I turn it on. A year ago, a new clutch kit called LUK (3 pieces) was introduced. After inspecting the clutch and bleeding it from the gearbox side, everything appears to be in good working order. I can quickly shift into first or second gear without crunching if I press down on the clutch pedal five to eight times. It starts up normally in any gear when the engine is off, and the clutch bites where it should, but as soon as I shift into neutral, the clutch becomes inoperable, as if it were defective. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, what could be causing it? What lies ahead for me? Is it a clutch problem? I don't believe so. Is there a problem with the clutch operating? The clutch slave cylinder is new, so it could be the pedal cylinder. From the engine side fluid bottle to the brake pedal to underneath the gearbox side, I have not detected any fluid leaks anywhere in the system.
Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
My sincere appreciation
