Hi Undysworld,

Just another point... I just read in Pinzgauer technical old (july 16, 2006) at 'Clutch problem: M. Wehrman : "When I replaced the clutch in my K I used the pilot tool that came with the Auto-zone kit,only thing I had to do is wrap the end with a few turns of aluminum tape to match the Pinz pil...

Hi Undysworld, You wrote " Do you own the service manuals? If not, we can give you info on pulling it out. ". Well I have the pdf of the the 'Pinzgauer Repair manual for models 710 and 712' (343 pages), that I downloaded a long time ago from "Swiss All-Terrain" at "swissATV....

In the first place, thanks all you guys for answering my post. I realise that there were earlier posts, but it needs the right combination of words to get to the good relevant posts (ie clutch+stuck, clutch+replacement) and when you're panicking about big jobs coming up and all the expected problems...

Unfortunately it did not work; driving in 4th gear and with the clutch fully pressed in, I braked as hard as I could. This turned the engine off, but nothing else, tried 4 times and gave up. Checked the clutch reservoir, but is full. At the clutch-brake box I could see the lever, that moves when you...

Hi Ed, No; I have not stabbed the brake with the clutch pressed in, will try that after I finish this. I have never had a problem with clutch fluid, but will check also. How do I know if the clutch-slave is engaged ? The repair manual is tight on details, but it looks as if I need to remove the cove...

No did not work in 4 thgear, though I managed to drive it in 4th gear, but clutch would not budge. With the clutch fully pressed in, it still did not free it and only behaved as if the clutch was released by my foot. Oh my what is coming at me ? It is a half hour drive, through several villages and ...

I just re-read the previous comments, but did not try it in 4th gear...

I even managed to park her in rear-gear in the garage...
I will go now and try that 4-th gear!

Jules

Well fellow Pinz lovers, it did not work... tried today I managed to get it running in first gear, but no matter how much I pumped the clutch; it would not budge and it is still stuck ... Oh poop, it must be rusted solid. I tried in 1st and 2nd gear; start, then it jumps forward and then runs relati...

Yes I will, but again; it has been delayed by a week - busy, busy - , but I will let you know !

Best regards,

Jules

Thanks a million guys ! What a great site this is. It is just like having friends, that help you with your car problems. I will try later in the day, when I have time, but due to the explanations; I now know the problem and will start the Pinz every 2 weeks, no matter what to prevent this from happe...

Gents, Due to circumstances I could not run my Pinz for 6 months. Charged batteries and engine is running OK. BUT while engine is running; I cannot get her into any gears, but when engine is off, I can easily change into all gears... I had this problem a long time ago, also when rested for a few mon...

Hi R Mel,

Looks very interesting ! I might just try this for maintenance at reduced concentration. I am seeing some black oil near the cylinder-heads, but no drops as yet...

Thanks for the info!

Best regards,

Jules Nijst

Gents, What an absolute great forum this is!! You ask your 'Pinz-brothers' and some will always come trooping along, to give an answer on any problem. Thanks for the replies; I am aware that in the original Pinz-system, the ignition-switch needed to handle 50 amps or so, but I want to rewire my Pinz...
