Our Amphicar is having a few adjustments as we’ve discovered a gearbox issue whilst testing. We noticed a noise which we originally thought was linked to the thrust bearing however it turns out it’s due to the first motion shaft bearing that needs repairing.
We’ve taken out the engine and gearbox, and will now begin the process of fixing the gearbox.
Pete, one of our specialist technicians here at Bridge, has successfully removed the 1979 Arrow Ferrari Daytona gear box ready for testing.
Once it’s restored, it will be married up with the new engine currently being worked on by our V12 engine restoration experts.
That sounds like a marriage made in heaven to us!
This morning the engine and gearbox have gone into our Jensen 541R chassis. See below for a timelapse of John and Paul guiding the engine into place.
The gearbox seals have been replaced of our 1955 Austin Healey. Now that it has been removed and fully rebuilt. The gearbox is now being re-married with the engine.
