[Healeys] No Reversing Us Now

[Norman Nock]

Carlos ... lf your car was NOT stuck in overdrive and
as you say  
  you increased your RPM and it would not back up the
problem is inside the O/D ... when all things are
working correctly in the O/D the reverse motion is
through   one of the clutches  inside the O/D , the
fault has to be this reverse clutch
   lf you have my Tech Talk book check page 55 (
OVERDRIVE STAYS ENGAGED ) or Healey Highlites Jan.
