[Healeys] BJ8 Transmission Rebuild

[Michael Salter]

Hi Jonas,
>From memory the 3/4th hub on the BJ8 box is different from the earlier ones
in that it has an extra plunger which must be aligned correctly with the
3rd motion shaft groove..
I don't have my parts book but you can see it here
<http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28882>as
item number 29.
