[Healeys] Transmission Rebuild

[Oudesluys]

In general.
The rebuild transmission should be a bit stiffer but still fairly easy 
to turn. If overly stiff something is not right. Hard to say what is to 
stiff and what is normal in lbf. It is the feel of it.
The extra stiffness is also caused by new, tighter seals. If there are 
any preloaded bearings in the rebuilt gear box these will also be the 
cause of stiffness. In the old box this preload is practically non 
existant because of wear/settling.
