Mercedes Benz 814D - Engine stops once in gear - Lexten

Hello,

My manual transmission 814 is giving me a headache.

I cant start without spraying quick start in the inlet maniford. But once it starts the engine revs so strong. However, once you engage a gear you cant move because the engine stops once you release the clutch and you cant balance with a strong rev.

Further, I cant engage reverse gear, the reverse shift place is as hard as there is no gear. Of course the gear rod that goes to the gear box is so shaky and one mechanic just said it requires adjustment but am not so convinced anyway.

please help...

Jimmy
