Hi, Thanks for the input. Frankly, if my Healey was alive, I=E2=80=99d =
take it to the vet and have it put down!
I did think that swapping the solenoid and relay plus adjusting the =
throttle switch had fixed it. The car passed a drive around, up and down =
with harsh acceleration up hills.
So, I put the interior back=E2=80=A6.quite a task in itself. Took it out =
for a pint=E2=80=A6back to square one. Slipping.
Stripped it out again and tried for a rational/thorough test=E2=80=A6.
1. Set off with the OD=E2=80=99s operating valve out and the nut =
replaced by the gauge. As expected a reading of zero on gauge with OD =
switched on & off. Ran around, up and down for 35 minutes. Quite a hot =
day. No slippage.
2. Put the operating valve back. 520+/-psi at the gauge while OD is =
switched on or off. (Oil now warm). OD seems/sounds as if it=E2=80=99s =
=E2=80=9Ceasing in=E2=80=9D rather slowly/almost too smoothly with, =
maybe, slight slip. Fear/presumption being that slippage would get worse =
as engine got even warmer. Transition looks normal on rev counter. =
Disengages normally though I need to adjust the throttle switch a bit =
more.
3. Inconclusive, except I think I can rule out the clutch at the =
flywheel. But it leaves a question hanging over the OD which, =
considering the (Professional) work it=E2=80=99s had recently, should =
NOT be playing up.
4. Time to throw in the towel (read oily rag?). Car is up on ramp =
waiting for me to remove the box.. That is unless one of you guys can =
come up with a miracle cure overnight! I=E2=80=99m just sick of frigging =
around and not knowing precisely what=E2=80=99s wrong. I want to take =
the car over to N.Ireland for a family occasion in July so have decided =
to do the brute force work myself and have the rest done by experts.
Just thought I=E2=80=99d let you know! Will report back once the box is =
out and once the OD has been looked at.
Simon
