[Healeys] transmission

[Dave Porter]

Worn main shaft bearings, worn dogs on synchros, worn sliders, bent/worn
shifter forks, missing stops for shift rods, worn grooves in shifter rods,
yada yada, you'll have to take it apart and look. Guessing isn't going to
make it any better.sorry.

The problem I have with both suggestions so far is that I definitely know
that all the balls are in place & the thrust bearing clearance was carefully
checked & was well within spec. Are there any other things that could cause
this problem?

I think perhaps Alan is being a bit overly simplistic on this one. Though
the detents play a major role, so too the detent balls within the sliders
for 1-2 and 3-4th. These all loose their effectiveness when the thrust
bearings wear and allow excessive thrust under acceleration and deceleration
and easily overcome the balls.
