[Healeys] Overdrive Question

Thu Oct 27 23:11:30 MDT 2016

I know this vent and we had lots of trials over the years to get these 
3speed gearboxes oil tight. This vent its not sufficient enough. Believe 
it!!

Somebody suggested that the reason that BN1 gearboxes leak is that they are 
not "vented".
I have been thinking about this as I was sure that they are vented..
Well they are and here is how...

The above is the gearbox vent. It is located on the top of the overdrive 
unit, in this case a 32% and, as the gearbox and overdrive units share a 
common oil reservoir this vent serves them both.
All Healey overdrives have this vent (or breather) on a BJ8 its part number 
is 17H5825
Just sayin'.

  In my experiences neither of the two types Hylomar will not seal that
  joint.

  …disassembly of the OD because it is seeping oil at the clutch ring.
  There are no gaskets, but I would like to smear some Hylomar on the joint
  faces to stop the leak.
