[Healeys] Four speed gear box for a BN1

[Laurie Wilford]

While changing the BN1 rear  mount from a 3 speed to a 4 speed uses the same cross member as later cars, it is in a slightly different position for the 4 cylinder than it is for the 6. It is back about 1/2 inch. I bolted the overdrive on to the drive shaft without the transmission to get the correct position before welding it into place.

Isn't the rear trans mount bracket welded across the "V" at the rear of the opening in the floor different on the BN2 body?

George,

I don’t believe a 4 speed from a later model Healey will fit a BN 1 without relocating the mounting points and changing the gear box covers.  The carpets will need to be modified.
