[Healeys] Centre Change Gear Sticks

[gradea1 at charter.net]

LETS BE CAREFUL HERE. WE HAVE OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN STUCK IN GEAR OR
WITHOUT GEARS. THE NYLON BUSH IS ONLY USED ON THE BJ8. The brass bush
is used on the MK II gearbox, which INCLUDES THE BJ7. The BJ7 is
actually a MK II Healey. The shift levers are different as well. Here
are the numbers from the parts book:
BJ7 lever AEC8636, Bush-brass AEC 3520 (1 pr.) Circlip 1G3709- this
comes as a set. Roll pins (2) AEA558. Circlip hold two halves of bush
together.
BJ8 lever 22B195-non/OD. Lever AEC3636 w/OD. Lever Bush 22B191
(nylon). Roll Pin AEA558 This arrangement starts with: GB 101-118
wo/OD, 101-1441 w/OD
What will happen if you use the nylon bush in the MKII GB, is that
after a few shifts the nylon will get mangled and there goes your
gears.

 Pretty sure that the only change was the size of the ball upon which
the nylon bush rotates HOWEVER there is a complication ... there are
nylon bushes, from an MGB as I recall, which can be used with the
lever with the smaller ball end.

	Hi, 

	I have a late Mk II BT7. Centre change. So, my query is regarding the
gearstick. 

	The box is a BMC Goldseal replacement per the attached picture. 

	The stick has the two roll pins securing it which you’d expect up
to BJ8s which, I gather, had screws. But the bush under the stick in
the white nylon one which, I gather again, started with BJ8s. (To be
fair, I’ve looked into this and didn’t find a definitive answer on
the bushes). My gearbox seems to be a bit of a BT7/BJ8 mixture. 

	My question is can you put a roll-pin gearstick into a BJ8? Or
vice-verca? 

	Thanks, 

	Simon
