Clutch Problems
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:20 pm
Ok, I have only been a Pinz owner for 6 months. (1973 710M) I am trying to work out all the bugs in my vehicle in my quest to make it an awesome adventure traveler.
Today, my Pinz started acting up. I had not driven it for a few days. Today, when I pressed in my clutch pedal, she squeeled like a stuck pig. It did this all day. At this point my guess is the throwout bearing.
Then 3 miles from home, I am at a stop sign and BAM! The transmission engaged while I had the clutch pressed and the vehicle stalled on me. The clutch was no longer functional.
I started it in second gear and was able to shift on the fly into third and nurse her back home.
When I go tearing into this on Monday, what should I be looking for?
