During testing, the Bridge Classic Cars team discovered an issue with the drivetrain in the 1969 Audi L 72PS. The team retrieved the classic German saloon and had the car immediately up onto a ramp in order to get to the bottom of what had happened. Narrowed down to a gearbox issue, our technician Will dropped the engine and gearbox as a single unit to begin diagnosing the problem.
‘Remove anti roll bar, drive shafts, calipers and discs, disconnect all components connecting to gearbox, Disconnect all components connecting to engine, fuel hoses, water hoses, radiator out, remove engine and gearbox as one unit, split engine from gearbox, Go through clutch release bearing and bent components, remove clutch fork assembly, get Clinton to straighten bent clutch fork, clean up floor and car from engine removal, Remove fuel sender on side of engine as it is leaking oil, make new o-ring from o-ring making kit, refit fuel sender with some gasket sealant as well as new o-ring.’
