[Healeys] Syncro

[Oudesluys]

Brass will be better, although steel should work, but you may have to 
shift a bit slower. It also may need a bit of bedding in. Also the oil 
used can be a factor, e.g. if Slick 50 or some slippery synthetics are 
used it may lead to synchro problems in old type gearboxes and lsd's.
