Re: Oil pressure switch ?

Message for Paul C.

This short blinking of the red oil light, after hard driving for 2 hours, is described in the Pinzgauer Repair manual and accepted
Good luck.

Electric Pinzgauer ?

Pinz-bro's, The day of the electric car is is speeding towards us, with new regulations that ban diesel-SUV's already in certain cities in Holland, and petrol cars in future... How long before someone tries to put an electric motor in the Pinzgauer ? It should be possible and having a row of batteri...

Re: Writing and posting pics in a tech article

Same here, that is why I wrote it down, because I forget this stuff too.
I completely forgot we even had a tech sessions... I just searched for 'clutch-stuff' and went from there.
Old age problems, but the Pinz keeps us young !

Best regards,
Jules.

Writing and posting pics in a tech article

Pinz-bro's Now that I succesfully managed to post one tech article with pictures, I am now getting so cocky, that I think others are maybe interested in sharing some of my experiences... Please know, that I have no notion whatsoever, that I know anything about the content of tech articles, just what...

25 - Now you have to bolt the pressure-plate back on the flywheel. The manual says to use a torque-wrench and apply 22-25 Nm torque. Make sure the clutch-plate has not sagged if the alignment-tool fits too loosely. Even half a millimeter causes trouble aligning it all later. After all 6 nuts are in, remove the alignment tool !

21-a IF the clutch-plate is stuck on the pressure-plate remove the unit, place it on its side and use a piece of wood against the sleeved tube and bang it loose... After sanding the clutch-plate a little, it clearly shows the 'rope-threads' that had swollen and stuck on the plate. The tiny white spots are steel wire threaded amongst it all in the plate

22 - Without going into too much detail (huh ?), I just sanded all the exposed surfaces with 80 sand-paper. (Flywheel, pressure-plate and both sides of the clutch-plate) It seems that the 'rope' in the clutch-plate swelled from the moisture and got it stuck to the pressure-plate. The picture shows the sanded area from the pressure-plate. It looks the same as the flywheel. Sanded the clutch-plate slightly also, the remove any 'swollen' rope on the clutch-plate.

Re: CLUTCH repair: How to remove clutch-unit for repair

16
16 - BEFORE you loosen the gearbox and bellhousing MAKE SURE you have it all supported in the strap and with a jack below it, so it cannot fall down. You now have to grab hold of the cardan-shaft -end of the gearbox and wriggle it up and down and pull backwards at the same time (Muscle-power needed)

Re: CLUTCH stuck: Cannot shift into gears while engine runs.

3 - Wire the two ends of the cardan-shaft, so they cannot slide apart (some mark them, but with all that grease easily wipes off). They are balanced together and when they're apart: no telling of the correct position anymore (This is more fool-proof, like for me...)
