[Healeys] Toyota 5 speed

[Jerry Costanzo]

I have two of these Toyota conversions.  I bought the conversion to move the 
shifter as far forward as possible for both.  The transmissions are 
different years and one of them has more tension with that forward position. 
(harder to shift).  It has worked itself in a little but stiffer.   If you 
are putting it into a 3000 or BJ8, you need to hit the hole in the tunnel. 
Use the forward shift position.   If it is going in a side shift, you can 
put the hole anywhere, so don't worry about it so much.    Both my 
transmissions are out of Supras.

Tracy's helpful hints should be read a few times before starting this 
project.   It is simple, but there are always questions once you get 
started.  I think his stuff is on John Sims website.
