Clutch Problem
Hello Gentlemen,
Today I was running along a forest road when we stopped to show a guest how to drive the Pinz. When my guest said they were in gear but we were not moving I became concerned. Bottom line: when the clutch is let out, I get no response from the truck. I can shift gears all day long but they will not engage.
My belief is that it is time to replace the clutch plate. Do you agree? And if so, got any tips? - Buzz

Clutch Problem
I got under the truck and watched the linkage move to conclude that it was shifitng OK. All the linkage seemed right but the clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor to no avail. milesdzyn : could you elaborate on how I could tell if the slave is the problem? The truck is still out in the woods and I would like to manage the number of trips I make with spares. - Thanks, Buzz

The pedal feels the same or a little bit lighter (maybe). The high/low lever was the first thing I checked yesterday. The master C could be a candidate too. I will pull the inspection cover tomorrow and have a look. Too beat tonight to get into it again. I got it home from the woods today thanks to a tow from one of my friends. Then I did lots of yard work to get ahead on the time I will need for this project. Thanks for all the posts. - Buzz

Well, the slave is fine. On the other hand, calling all that other stuff "chips" is kind of an understatement. It looks like a coarse-haired dog exploded in there! Its a wonder it was working at all.
Definitely time for a clutch. Thanks again for the posts. - Buzz

Thanks for all the posts.
On the tools, I actually own an original Swiss clutch disc centering pin. It came in a case of Swiss shop tools that I bought with my truck three years ago. The tools cost two cases of beer in addition to the cash price. With the exception of the "brake bleeding spanner, only for front wheel" this will be the first time I have used any of them.
On the "coarse-haired dog" comment, I can only say the dog was probably not a large one. Thats a really little clutch! - Buzz
