[Healeys] More...60 BN7 Tranny problem

[Richard Kahn]

If I may put in my two cents, I would talk with Bill Bolton (tricarb at aol.com).
He is the best and since you already have the trans out of the car you can
send it via UPS on a pallet. I found his prices to be very reasonable. Three
years since he rebuilt mine and its like new. I think he charges way too
little for his skill so it must be a labor of love for these beasts that makes
him do it. His work is top notch. AND a very nice person.
