[Healeys] More...60 BN7 Tranny problem

[scott willis]

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. Unfortunately "right now"
spending $2k-ish to repair my side shift is out of the question. I will
have to postpone. I love the side shift and I will always want to have
that and the overdrive. It is too fun and unique to give up. I will probably
just try to accumulate parts over the next year.

Hey, an idea...the tranny worked before I pulled it. It just made horrible
sounds in
1st and popped out of first if I did not hold it in. What do you think
about me re-installing the tranny and driving the hell out of it until all
the
teeth are gone on 1st gear since I do not have the funds for a correct repair
right now? Will it hurt if I have to replace 1st gear
and the laygears anyway. I assume all metal bits will gather in the sump.

Thoughts?

Cheaply yours,
