[Healeys] Inquiry

[Awgertoo at aol.com]

I received the below inquiry from an owner of a 1964 3000 and not having  any 
experience with overdrives I pass it along to the list.  Please respond  to 
Dave at the email copied above.

-------------------------------------------------
I am trying to remove the overdrive unit from the gear box. I have removed  
the adapter to gearbox nuts and the adapter to overdrive nuts with no help and  
in addition the when releasing the overdrive to adapter spring tension studs 
the  two stayed together. Is there any other thing that has to be done to 
remove the  overdrive unit? I did notice that the end of the output drive shaft  
was peened over like it had been pounded on by previous work done to  it. I 
have also cut all around the flanges with a razor blade to break the seal  of the 
gasket and there is about a 1/16 gap at both flanges with no further  
movement. 
 
Thanks for any info, Dave Stampler
