need GRM help Oregon

I bought bgkast 240d. Stuck in Corvallis, Oregon. Needing a new slave for the car and the only parts store can't get one until Wednesday!!

My napa prolink shows one in seattle being the closest. That wouldn't ship to Eugene til monday and get here until wednesday either.

Perhaps javelin can find another one in the napa system? I know of no Mercedes specialist/hoarders locally either.

Yeah I called NAPA.

Can't get it rolling in first and shift without the clutch?

Try substituting any random slave they have on the shelf.

Tie a cable/wire to the clutch arm and route it into the cabin, pull to disengage clutch.

(Disclaimer: This is a terrible idea and probably wouldn't work.)

I wonder if you could just rebuild it with new O-rings.

Could it be the clutch master cylinder?

Got the part number. 2012900311. I took the slave out and the first boot has a tear but the second rubber boot (inside) is good.

It was def looking at the slave pour fluid.

Rebuilt the slave and got enough pressure to get on i5. So I'm just going to throw in the towel and fly back for now. I have to do some fancy double clutching and rev matching to get it in and out of gear.

With a bit of practice, you can drive that car easily. Warm up engine. Shut off, put in first, start engine, rev match to shift, try to time your lights carefully.

True story: I once drove 150 miles from North Seattle to Kelso in a Nissan Hardbody in just 4th gear (destroyed the trans internals, 4th was the only working gear).

Good luck, you'll make it!

Once you get it rolling just stick to the highway and only stop for gas.

Yeah that's what I did and drove 100 miles. But, my destination is 1100 miles away lol

Looks like he almost made it back to my place. The shift lever busted off so that makes shifting more difficult than usual. I feel like E36 M3. I had total faith in that car. I don't think it likes new owners. The engine blew up when I first bought it.

Yup I'm flushing $$$ in this trip.
