[Healeys] Separation of Overdrive from gearbox

[Mark and Kathy]

Thats a hard one to put into words.   However the Bentley and the Haynes 
manuals
shows this very well in their pictorials.  I know the pump will get in the 
way on assembly if it is not held in but I don't think this was a hindrance 
when I disassembled the units.   I seem to remember it sort of popping apart 
via the tension
of the springs inside.    There are two ways to split it,  depending on 
which half you want the adapter plate to go with.   The manual shows  the 
adapter plate staying with the gear case not the overdrive unit.

Sorry its been too long.

Mark
