[Healeys] [Fwd: Re: Help Needed]

[Joe and Lenore Armour]

Blokes, I need some assistence with the identification of an unusual 5 
speed Healey gearbox in a Sprite prototype that has been made from 
genuine BMC components. The question what vehicle in the BMC range did 
these parts originate from so that I can overhaul the clutch throwout 
mechanisms.  There will be a prize.

Main gearbox; bellhousing and case is one casting.  Opening and 
therefore side cover is on the left hand side - no selector rods fitted 
here. Internals are MGB straight gear set, 1st to 4th.  Lever  with 
carbon throwout bearing to activate  clutch.
Secondary housing bolted to the rear of main box has 5th gear. Selector 
mechanism is on top and enters direct into selector rods. Unlike a std. 
Sprite there is a flange bolted to the output shaft.

All up very long.

Best clue, the alloy plate inside the bellhousing, retaining the front 
main bearing and seal on the input shaft has the following cast into it;

    22 H 27    DD 2
    MOWOG

Gearlever rubber boot - Girling # 488032

Lets go!
