How is the clutch actuator moved on a smart car?
As stated in original post as the disk wears the fingers move out. At some point the range of travel of the clutch actuator would reach a limit. As stated in the “clutch actuator removal/install” instructions the actuator is moved against the release lever and then 3 graduation lines away.
Why did my Mercedes clutch actuator go off?
Mercedes did have the actuator off and supposedly did what they could with it (big assumption?) and said the shift fork was almost gone.I was about 8km from home a week ago and the car did a bit of jerk and stutter as I was accelerating from a near stop and then the 3 bars appeared.
Where is the actuator on a steering wheel?
I crawled under the car, marked the location of the actuator on the three mounting lugs with a Sharpie, then loosened the three retaining bolts. The unit can then slide back and forth. To adjust, you want to move it out towards the driver side of the car.
How much does it cost to replace clutch actuator?
My clutch was working poorly (jerky starts and downshifts) and the local Mercedes shop said I need a clutch, shift fork and actuator. Total parts + labour + tax : 2765.87.
