The rubber plate that holds the starter in place tends to loose its shape after some 40 years ...sometimes there are tears as well. That causes mis-engagegement. So, if you remove the starter take a look at that plate.

Hello Jan,

your diagnosis is most probably right.
take care, that not a tear in the membrane of the fuel pump is the issue, since in this case the fuel dilutes your engine oil.
If you have ruled out this you have several possibilities:

My experiences with 255 Toyo open country M/T and Ford Transit rims (those do have a "tubeless hump" in opposite to the original ones) on a 710 MS: 2000 miles in sahara dunes and pistes down to 8 PSI without failure.

I don´t think the engine will make any problems ... I had the same in a Lancia Thema long time ago ... it had only a little to much torque for the small clutch and the long transmission, but no reason to blame the engine ... had 250 000 kms on the clock, when we sold the car.

The replacement of the seal is a simple fix ... some 6mm Allen screws ... but:

Sounds like a worn out clutch lining ... the Pinz is known to be there quite quick without true prior "announcements". Hydraulic failure usually results in failure to disengage! With that one can "limp" home.

The good thing: if you have a new clutchkit it can be done also on a trail while its ...

Dont forget to check the molex connector under the crest of the air-leading-hood next to the distributer ... when this is rotten/bad contact ... you can observe the same symptoms!

I replaced it by a superseal connector like that: https://www.amazon.co.uk/QISF-Waterproof-Electrical-Automotive ...
