[Healeys] Overdrive slipping

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

Steve,

I think I would check the hydraulic pressure first. You might get lucky...

> 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.

source for the clutch linings or rebuild of the cone clutch?
