Re: What did you do with your A Series today? ..
I've spent all morning looking, writing to a few dealers and the 2cvGB registrars, for an Ami Super gearbox.
My 'Super is now on the road (..albeit as an ongoing restoration) but its gearbox sounds like a 1950's school bus.
Would any of you happen to know anyone with a good Ami-Super gearbox, sitting unloved under their work bench, just waiting for a good home ?
I understand that this gearbox is the same as the GS1220 but that the main shaft is much shorter (for the Ami-Super) ?
Many thanks,
Peter

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Email Rick Pembro rick.pembro@tesco.net or Phone/Text 07789 684469 My 2 teeth. Check the oil, noise will likely be bearings, maybe clutch thrust bearing.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? We drove back from St Malo to Mirambeau today, fully loaded with stuff. We even packed the void under the rear seat with clothes! 500km on D and N roads, never missed a beat. So pleased.

And you can put that shaft and bellhouse from Ami Super gearbox to GS gearbox, and then the only difference is bigger brake calibers... As I recall, on the 1015 GS is slightly shorter gearing than Ami Super and 1220 GS, and after 11/79 1220 GS got longer gearing (very nice with 652 Visa turbo, also I have that on my Dyane IE)...

Yes, the input shaft and bell-housing (& engine mountings) are unique to Ami Supers. (You can modify GS engine mountings to fit). I think the longer gearing was just on the GS Special from that date (but I might be wrong). Rick Pembro rebuilt one of these gearboxes for me a while ago, for my 1.3 Ami Super. While the bell-housing was off, I cut out a small section to allow sufficient clearance to remove the starter motor without having to remove the inlet manifold. This worked really well: I never had a starter motor fail after that!

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Panhard van is very nice but not that rare if i am correct. I did already see 3 in real life and even a pick-up so that would be astonishing no? The french post office had little fleet of them.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Well we did think it a bit unlikely that of the five allegedly manufactured only one would remain! Will check in my Panhard book but I don't remember any mention of these when I read through it.
