[Healeys] FW: Conclave 2007, aftermath, BJ8 Trans

[Peter Schauss]

The second gear synchronizer is built into first gear.  Moss lists it as
part number 329-527.  You may also need to replace second gear if the teeth
which mesh with the synchronizer are worn.  Second gear may be a bit harder
to find.
