[Healeys] Toyota 5 speed

[Bruce Steele]

Having just had the trans rebuilt, I can attest to the cheaper part!  But, boy does it shift nicely now with the DWR parts!  Can’t wait to get the wiring fixed to drive it again!

When I started the last phase of my resto, I decided to install the 5 spd kit. the great price on a used kit helped so my family could drive the car. My kids are adults and my wife had never driven it because the overdrive switch was  scarry and the fact that I double clutched on down shift was intimidating. I did tell her the synchro rings were fine, I just liked to double clutch.' Anyway the 5 spd is less intimidating and cheaper than my oem box and overdrive

Synchro on 1st has got to be the #1 advantage, with 5th OD a close second.

The Toyota Transmission weighs about 75 pounds less, has less parastitic drag drag on the engine (more power to the road), and a reverse light switch.

I've seen threads on the Toyota 5 speed conversion, and looked through the archives a bit.  My BJ8 has the original trans. with the overdrive which all works as it is supposed to.  What is the advantage to converting to the Toyota 5 speed over using the factory setup?
