Thanks Johny, it all makes sense now, thank you, thank you for your assistance in gearbox dark arts

Johny this is the sequence of the rear bearing cover installation as we had it, ( from the previous owner) please see attached. The thrust washer was always fitted after the bearing and not before, is this correct?

Thanks Pete, will check it too, although the propshaft was professionally rebuilt by HJ Chard in Bristol (brizzle) only last year.

Adrian, that's really interesting. My new cable broke last week and today I found out that it snapped by the angle drive. this happened after a good 40min run on the motorway

thank you Johny, looks like it's the same part for spitfire as it is for gt6. the bearing seating in the end of the existing casing is worn away from when the previous bearing failed. two bearings failed in only few months, and we think this is due to being unable to torque the rear flange correctly

Good evening gents, I'm looking for a rear gearbox transmission tail housing for my gt6 mk3. Has anyone of you have a spare one for sale? Best wishes Joanna

Fancy doing some work on my GT6 ? 😜

Well done Cliff, it looks great!

Hi Cliff, yes I do

😂 yes, a lot of “ffs” today

Evening, Thank you all for your suggestions, just wanted to let you know that we finally found the source of the problem… - faulty bearings in the extension 🤷🏻‍♀️ Managed to take the extension off with the gearbox still in place

I just hope I will never have to do it again 😂 I tried everything, watched every possible tutorial on youtube, but ended up with soap and water and trying to push it in with my tiny fingers. I have no idea how I managed to do it, but it looks ok. The screen was already installed. anyway, if someone would like to use this plastic trim, just let me know

Yes Mathew, it is. I didn’t know if I could post it here! I got it from rimmers thinking it will be easier to fit 😅 Gave up in the end and installed the original chrome trim.

Hi, I’m posting here because I didn’t really know where this one should go. would these be of any use to anyone? One side has a slight crease, I don’t know whether it’s fixable or not, but PM me if interested.

It must have a gold plated chassis if someone spent £97k on it
