It was suggested maybe accumulator O ring. Just did pull the check valve and all. Did seem like dirty oil. I cleaned it all up. I’m already committed to extracting the accumulator and piston but wanted to replace all the tranny mounts and bushings which I did. Mounts were pretty squished and cracked. Bushings(radiator saver)were fairly solid but were replaced. They were the original. Cleaning and degreasing as I go along.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> If(?)it is the O ring or rings, I guess they are metal on the piston, I might just spring for a uprated from Dennis Welch or AH spares has a combo housing/piston both which have rubber O rings. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Working my way to the extraction part. I want to use forced air through the operating valve but I only have a small air compressor for tires. Some kind of extraction tool would be helpful. (18G182) I have always changed tranny oil regularly. Used ND 30 early on. Using MT 90 now for many years. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any and all suggestions appreciated.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>WD 67 BJ8</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:gradea1@charter.net">gradea1@charter.net</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, April 21, 2020 6:14 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:flyhihealey@gmail.com">Warren</a><br><b>Cc: </b><a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><b>Subject: </b>RE: [Healeys] Drove the Healey today?!</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Warren- Don't know the OD problem you are experiencing, but suggest before you tear into it, undo and clean the check valve and ball on the top right side (if you haven't already done so). One small spot of dirt lodged in the valve drilling can kill the hydraulics and make it seem like a bigger issue. It may be worn parts, but, if not, this is an easy first test. If it is dirt; good idea to change oil and add fresh SAE 30W non detergent oil to the unit.
