      so harsh as to require a slip of the clutch which, of course, will

            original OD design used a 1 ¾” accumulator piston with a
            concentric double spring.  This configuration was used in a
            lot of different vehicles including the Triumphs.  Donald
            Healey didn’t like how the OD engaged harshly when the
            clutch was not used during the shift.  He changed the design
            to incorporate a sleeve fitted in the 1 ¾” bore with a
            smaller 1 1/8” accumulator piston inside of the sleeve and a
            single spring.  This gave a slower engagement much like a
            modern automatic transmission.  However, as the OD wears the
            internal leakage increases and the OD will engage very
            slowly or not at all.  Using  the larger accumulator is a
            good idea (in my opinion) and will delay the point when
            internal leakage causes a problem.</span></div>

                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.</span></div>
