[Healeys] Transmission - rear shifter plunger

[Bert Van Brande]

Same here, had to do this two years ago when I rebuild my BN2 4 -speed
gearbox.   

Filing/polishing plungers and tweaking spring for the small
plunger.

I still left it a tad hard to engage on the workbench and it works
great now in the car.


Good to know I am not alone in this.

Went through the same thing on my trans rebuild 2 weeks
ago.  Spent some
time cleaning and polishing the parts, when that still didn't
work, I filed
the small plunger to a rounder shape and also rounded off the
edges of the
recess in the large plunger.  Works like a champ now.
