Hello, Healeyphiles -
I've begun feeling some slipping in the overdrive when I try to accelerate in third gear with overdrive engaged -- i.e., the engine RPMs increase but there is no acceleration. I have also heard a "spinning" sound from somewhere during slipping. It doesn't happen with overdrive disengaged or if I accelerate gently. I suspect the linings of the overdrive cone clutch are worn. Naturally, the clutch and its linings are N/A in the Moss catalog.
Anybody have any different theories about the slippage? Anybody know a source for the clutch linings or rebuild of the cone clutch?
Thanks,
Steve Byers
