[Healeys] 60 BN7 Tranny Rebuild?

[Alan Seigrist]

Scott -

Before replacing the whole gearbox, take the cover of your gearbox off - it
is easy to do with it in the car.

Once the cover is off, you can sort out the selector problem.  If it is a
selector problem, then you can just have your rebuilder replace or fix the
selectors... if you are lucky you can just send them the cover w/ selectors
for fixing.  I am sure your gearbox is fine.

Leo Ruof is good (I bought a rebuild BN1 gearbox from him), and you can also
get them from Bill Bolton in Oregon.  Bill might be willing to just fix your
selectors.

The only other thing that might cause the freeze up is a fried OD.  If
that's what it is, just replacing the OD should be very easy to do, even a
good used one will be good enough... they are mostly bullet proof.
