[Healeys] BN2 Gearbox

[Oudesluys]

The reverse gear is not a pretty sight, but considering that it is not 
in use for 99,99% of the time it is OK to leave it if you cannot find a 
replacement. First gear seems to look allright, but the laygear is shot.
A rebuild is clearly at hand so change all damaged items if available, 
also the reverse gear. Change the synchro's and bearings if there is any 
sign of wear. Check the oil for debris. If fine debris is present renew 
the bearings if you can. If there are big chunks of metal only check the 
bearing races very carefully for damage, but you may have been lucky and 
escaped the chunks getting into the bearings.
