Hello Dave: I talked to you last summer about rebuilding my trans? It was out of the car and on a small skid and wraped up to go to you, My friend came over and said he has a friend that all he dose all day long was rebuild standard trans and he will do it for free, All i had to do was buy the parts. I just should have stuck to my guns and sent it to you? but he talked me into it and look where i,m at!! I will look at the drive shafts and if thats not it,,, I will send it to you and not listen to my friend again. THANKS FOR THE INFO
SORRY FOR NOT JUST SENDING IT TO YOU?
PAUL

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure what I am charging is fair for a rebuild ($1800). I think You put axle in wrong. It is easier than You think. It will go part way in and feel like it is good, but it sits just out of carrier. All parts will assemble. All looks good but when You try to move...Sounds like a giant drill bit and little to no movement. Pull rubber boots back and inspect. Later Dave the Wave

I really think You will be ok. You have My number feel free to use it if You need help. If it is axle, inspect double lip seal. You may have knocked spring off, usually inside one. If axle did grind.Best to remove seal and clean metal debris. Use a file to de burr. When it came to Your choices, You picked a friend and You got to be part of the building process-all good choices.

Dave: I put the drive shafts in right and took it out for a ride, the trans dose not seem to be much quiter? but it sure dose down shift alot better with the new syncros. I
herd that some trans are just noisy?? Is that true or should i just take it out and send it to you?? It shifts and go,s good but 3rd & 4th only seems to be a little more quiter
than it was before.
Thanks for any help PAUL

Somehow my Prop Shaft Seal Thread got turned into a discussion on transmissions! Anyway, I bought some new prop shaft seals(soft and workable) from a local bearing distributor. They went in just as easy as pie. I think the ones I bought from Gordon Imports must have been 40 year old original Amphicar parts(hard as a rock and not much better when boiled as instructed). I think I'll call Hugh and try to convince him to trash those old seals. I have extra seals if anyone is interested.

I probably will be interested in those seals or the part number. I have some I bought from Hugh that I will probably have the same problem with. I will find out in the next couple weeks when I rebuild my prop shafts

Why not post the part numbers so we all can buy and try them out?

Prop shaft seal part number is printed on shaft seal and in Amphicar parts manual. "25 x 52 x 10" is the part number which is also the metric size. Ordered mine through a bearing supply house. I think NAPA can also get them. I bought extras and will sell them at my cost of $6.50.
