Betty's Broken Gearbox ;-(

I have broken Betty's Gearbox!

Pile of Brazilian Rubbish and it deserved to die!

Anyway found a nice AH 1302s Beetle gearbox and purchased it 12 hours after breaking it.

Here is a full write up on my blog.

Here is the video of the broken one in action! Listen to the clunking sound!



Anyway progress is well. New gearbox cleaned up, engine out and old gearbox is being dropped tonight!

Its going to be a Brazilian Bay / Beetle B**stard Hybrid (Gearbox and inner CVs from beetle and Brazilian Driveshafts and outer CVs)
