[Healeys] 1959 100-6 Overdrive question

[S and T Miller]

The workshop manuel only shows the seal on the Mark I and up, not on the BN4.
Are you sure it has one?  If it does have the seal then that would explain why
mine is leaking- I didn't replace it!  If so, is it on the inside or on the
outside of the case?  Crossing my fingers that you say outside, because the
gearbox is in the car and all together.  Thanks, Shawn

All the overdrive units have a O ring under the adjusting rod. These leak all
the time. You can remove the split pin the holds the arm on and then remove
the O ring.

I previously rebuilt my 100-6 59'  gearbox and OD unit.  I am leaking oil
from
the valve operating shaft on the setting lever side.  Later OD units had a
seal (inside) there, but the early ones didn't.  I thought about putting an
o-ring on the shaft and have it sandwiched between the setting lever and the
housing, but thought it might interfere with the lever operation.  Anyone
ever
come up with a good solution for this?  Shawn
