[Healeys] OD BJ8

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

Well, people do, or did at least, sell the gauge and all its fittings ie ready to go. I don’t recall/know who does it and where except that here in the UK Dave at Overdrive Spares sells them. About £40:00, I think. Plus shipping, of course.

Yes, and I agree with Michael, and Simon's note; a pressure test is in order. Problem always being obtaining a gauge and fittings.  However, it is imperative that the pressure be 400+lbs. or it is not producing a good overdrive exchange. Electrics are one thing, and pressure another-then, wear factor a third.

If it does not hit 400, you might as well rebuild the unit, or at least clean it and retest. Disengagement is a result of the pressure being released, and the 8 springs pushing the clutch back to direct drive.  You need the 400 lbs. to overcome the 8 springs, and quickly move the clutch forward to OD. My thoughts, Hank
