I have an ancient gearbox in the shed, plus a half decent static bearing clutch. I don't know what sort of condition it's in - it could be completely f**ked, it could be as good as new. I know one of the driveshafts - the old cruciform universal joint type - is a bit wobbly, but I have no idea what the gearbox internals are like. Russell, who gave it to me when I bought his Ami, might know a bit more.
If it's any help getting you back on the road, it's yours for the price of a pint. Then all you need to do is arrange to pick the thing up from Herefordshire.

I know I bought it off Darus Rich, and that is all. I can't remember if it's an ami or a 3-fiddy box, I think it's ami one but I've no idea.

Mr. Thief, There may be some hints in the comments further down in this thread - Identify a gearbox?

D-A-R-A-S

Cheers man. And apologies. I won't do it again.

Seriously Ross get it right.

thats great news rhythm theif still dont know what the real problem is tho as ive been away and the car will be looked at in the next few days, ill keep you all posted so watch this space

No bother. It's still here, if you need it ...

Hi everybody, you will be glad to hear that im finally back on the road having had the gearbox completly rebuilt and painted by a specialist gearbox company in Norwich,Norfolk while the car was in bits it gave me a good chance to clean up the engine bay and paint the engine parts that needed doing, i hope to get some up to date pictures to put on the site, but ill have to wait til my brother in law can do it for me as every time i try i fail badly and he"s a computer genius and does it in about 2 seconds flat. See you all at registers day

Paint the gearbox? It's aluminium Or am I reading this wrong?
