When the time comes to install the drive train in my BN2, it will be the original 4 speed/overdrive trans. I want the "Healey" experience when I drive the the car. If I wanted the smoother easy shifting of a 5 speed, I can just drive my manual Honda Accord. Besides, leaving it original kind of insures to limit the amount of drivers of the car. No one knows your car like you do. That synchro in 2nd gear will last longer that way. Just my opinion, for what it is worth.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1499444233124_15339" dir="ltr">Mike MacLean<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1499444233124_14997"><span></span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Friday, July 7, 2017 8:41 AM, "dwflagg@juno.com" <dwflagg@juno.com> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv0758158382"><div>Thanks Tom!!

<div>doug<br><br>and I'm sure I can find a more powerful engine that weighs less, can find a neat AC system and cruise control.
