James’ 1974 W200 build

It's not supposed to have one with the diaphragm clutch anyway. You 100% sure it doesn't have one?
Yes sir I’m sure cuz I was under there looking for one to remove it. lol

I verified I have the proper clutch fork and linkage. Z bar is in top shape all rebuilt with New clips and bushings.

okay I’m laying under there and the clutch it is fact releasing all the way when I have a helper push the clutch. I think something inside the transmission is wrong. I rebuilt the son of a gun, but I may have some clearances too tight, causing a drag or cluster gear may be spinning or some ****. Damn I don’t know. Might have to pull it and check all the in the service manual.
