[Healeys] Any Ideas ?

[Peter Dzwig]

I don't know, but I had something similar a while ago in my car. Reverse 
just refused to engage but then first went unless you were very gentle 
with it. It turned out to be a stuck cog and then we found that some 
shim "adjustments" had been made to the 'box  when it was being rebuilt. 
The "adjustments" had shattered leaving bits in the fluid, which 
eventually...

Sound a possibility that something like that happened?

Good luck,

Peter
