Okay gang, time to admit defeat through stupidity and ask for help.
I just got my pinz, a 74 710m. Pretty happy with it so far.
The middle shifter (rear differential if I'm reading the diagram correctly) shifts no problem. The front diff and transfer case didn't. thinking they were just a bit stiff, I pulled on them pretty good....resulting in bending the handle, thankfully just a tiny bit.
I am brand new to dealing with hydraulic stuff on my own vehicle; most of what I've seen has been on heavy equipment and fire apparatus, where I'm not the maintenance guy but the operator/engineer.
I'm thinking the push rod is out of place on the cylinder in the dash. One, any hints on getting in there and finding out for certain, and two, any suggestions on making sure this doesn't happen again.....
I would be most appreciative. hopefully this learning curve is steep, but short.

PS - and if there's any pinz owners from RMP in the Fort Collins/Windsor/Loveland area, please chime in or PM, be good to pick a local brain. thanks!
