My 2003 c230 kompressor manual transmission clutch pedal was "soft" and had problems shifting gears / choppy.
Then clutch pedal finally stopped bouncing back from depressed for gear engage/change and remained stuck to floor .
Clutch pedal now stays on floor. When lifted up it drops back down.
Brake fluid leaked dropped on ground , area under transmission.
Any assistance to solve this problem appreciated.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum! It could be that your clutch slave cylinder needs to be replaced. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Firstly, get well soon. You can repair it yourself when the clutch is broken, but it is an easy problem.
If you do not know the repair at all, definitely show it to a master. If you say you can do it in general, see here:

Like I said, if you're unfamiliar, don't get involved.
