style="COLOR: black"> Through a reference from the list
I am having Russ Thompson in Northridge, California rebuild my BN2
transmission. It is a low mileage (10,000 mi. approx) transmission, but I
wanted to be able to put it in and not have to take it back out again.
Good thing I took this precaution. Russ found the overdrive stuck and
would never have worked. Today he showed me the accumulator piston.
The smaller center piston was scored from dirt or crap in the oil. Russ
replaced it with a one piece piston from a Triumph overdrive. There was a
huge spring below it. Anyone heard of this? He said engagement will
be real positive now. Even with the low mileage, the number 2 synchro was
toast and will be replaced. The other two were fine and will be
re-used. All the gears showed very little sign of wear. The reverse
gear had some surface rust on the teeth, but that can be blasted and it will be
fine. Getting closer to having the drive train is the
car.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
