[Healeys] Need MGB Parts

[Charlie Baldwin]

Mark,
I agree with Rich on this.  The inside grooves need to be good to get 
synchronization.  They are what grabs the cone and makes the speeds of 
the two shafts get the same.  I only have experience with the 3 synchro 
MGA/MGB trannys and big Healey ones and I seem to recall that there were 
some bad synchros around that didn't hold up well.
There is an MGB Yahoo group that you could join to find info on that and 
also find a source for the parts.  I think it is called MG-MGB.  Go into 
Yahoo and do a search in the groups area.  There are some very 
knowledgeable people on there especially for the later cars, which of 
course are more complex than the early ones.
