[Healeys] Transmission-Overdrive locked up

[Magnus Karlsson]

Did you check the thickness of the shim on the main bearing. The one that is
sandwiched between the o/d adaptor plate and the bearing. If it is too thick
it will lock up the whole assembly.

replacing a few parts. The OD and transmission worked freely before mating the
two together. Everything lined up fine and they slipped together without
forcing anything.

transmission is in gear it will not move either. All I could garner from the
archives is that the OD brake ring or clutch assembly might be locked due to
weak clutch springs. They were a little shorter than spec.
