[Healeys] Sideshift 4 Speed Rebuild Issue

[Jonas Payne]

Just road tested the 1961 healey with re-built trans.

Prior to rebuild, Overdrive took forever if it went in at all, it couldn't
downshift to 2nd at any speed, crunched going from 1-2, and popped out of
2nd gear on overrun.

Replaced bearings, synchro's and seals,  verified end floats well within
factory tolerance, and slightly shimmed the springs on the 2nd gear sliding
hub, as the detent was imperceptible upon inspection.

Overdrive is now working perfectly.

Shifts up into all gears with no issues and feels good, downshifts from 4-3
at any speed with no issues, but will only downshift from 3rd to 2nd at
speeds below 15 mph.  Is this acceptable or is it  typical?
