Noel,
No it has to come out. My experience with the early box has shown that
issue to be with excessive thrust clearance. There are 2 thrust washers,
rather than Bellville washers. They are not easy to come by in all sizes and
it may be that a new original will do the job.

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 on the road again but problems with jumping out of
second gear
Hi listers
this week we registered our BN1 after a two year restoration and it's
great to be in a big Healey again. The car had been sitting in pieces
in Brisbane since 1977 and without the help of fellow Queensland Healey
Club members and members of this list, it would still be that way.
We've had a few six cylinder Healeys over the years but this is our
first 100 and I'm surprised what a pleasantly different driving
experience the four is. Still a long list of things to finish and bugs
to sort out as usual but generally all systems work as they should.
Only disappointment is despite having the standard three speed gearbox
reconditioned it jumps out of second gear on the over-run, I'm told this
is a common problem with the BN1s. I note the manual mentions the
selector forks/spring as the likely problem, is this where I should
start and can it be fixed with the box in place?
thanks
Noel S
