Amphicar Transmission Secrets-----------shhhhhhhhhhhhh do not tell
symptom: shifted ok but very noisy. Water had sat in trans. Then used, probably with water in trans- looking at mud build up. If not used just a bit earlier repair costs would be much less. Little bearing on drive shaft smoked. In turn grooving up built in race area of drive shaft. Plus cooked out main bearings, which are not available. Replacements are available but I don't think they are as good. Still when done this trans should hold out for a while.
Pile
of synchro rings. Cases all that's left when leaving trans filled with water.
Trans drive shaft takes a lot of abuse. Transmissions in transition.
