Correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am, but if say I burn out my clutch, won't they just have to replace the friction plate?
I think I saw it somewhere online (in a weak search for an answer to this question) for about $185 for a friction plate.
You can just replace the friction plate. Plan on going back in very soon.
Replace the plate, the throwout bearing and resurface the pressure plate.
Dealers want $2,500 'cause they job some of this out and, it is a Benz, not a Chevy Cobalt.
You are not tossing a new set of brake pads in. I haven't been under there myself but; Split drive shaft has to be pulled, carrier bearing, Tranny down and out. Hydraulics capped off and then bled for reconnection.
Like I said, it ain't a Chevy.
