[Healeys] More...60 BN7 Tranny problem

[Mark LaPierre]

Jeesh Scott,  your getting a bit desperate here , ; )    Why not put Smashy 
away for a while and drive
your beautiful  "A"  which is probably screaming for your affection out of 
jealousy towards Smashy.
The "smiles per mile" is exactly the same and you don't risk screwing up any 
other parts in your gear
box.    While Smashy is laid up waiting for the trany repair you can tend to 
the other areas that need
non-financially draining attention.

You have a nice situation in having another LBC to fall back on.

Go drive the "A" ,  is what I say.

Mark
