[Healeys] Transmission/overdrive issues.

[Dave Porter]

Likely the carrier bearing is failing or a spring post is broken. You ought
to remove it and inspect before further damage.

Transmission/overdrive issues.

I have a very noticeable "growling" coming from the area of the trans/ 
OD.  At first I thought it was noisy U-joints, but no.  The noise  
occurs when the OD dash switch is in the "normal" position and in any  
gear.  It goes away immediately when I move the switch to  
"overdrive" .  It is only the switch which makes the difference and  
not whether the OD has shifted into overdrive.  It sounds serious but  
may be only an adjustment.  The oil level has been OK even though I  
"topped it up" when I was troubleshooting.

I hope someone can shed some light on this problem.  Please let me  
know what you think and/or your experience.

Thanks,

Dave
