???? Through a reference from the list I am having Russ Thompson in Northridge,
California rebuild my BN2 transmission.? It is a low mileage (10,000 mi.
approx) transmission, but I wanted to be able to put it in and not have to take
it back out again.? Good thing I took this precaution.? Russ found the
overdrive stuck and would never have worked.? Today he showed me the
accumulator piston.? The smaller center piston was scored from dirt or crap in
the oil.? Russ replaced it with a one piece piston from a Triumph overdrive.?
There was a huge spring below it.? Anyone heard of this?? He said engagement
will be real positive now.? Even with the low mileage, the number 2 synchro was
toast and will be replaced.? The other two were fine and will be re-used.? All
the gears showed very little sign of wear.? The reverse gear had some surface
rust on the teeth, but that can be blasted and it will be fine.? Getting closer
to having the drive train is the car.???? I know I am going to start a
discussion, but Russ recommends using 40wt motor oil for the transmission.?
Anyone know what weight Redline MTL is?
