I've haven't been able to drive it a lot because I have brake issues
and got kicked out of my house and have to move quickly, but new
(MWS) wheels and tires seems to have eliminated scuttle shake in my
BN2.<br>
<br>
I'd be hard-pressed to believe a PP 'finger' got bent, that's some
pretty strong steel (unless, like a lot of things, the new PPs have
been cheapened to increase profit and executive bonuses). I have no
clue, but suspect you'll have to pull the gearbox to find out what's
going on.<br>
<br>
Afterthought: I don't recall which Healey you have, but if it's a
4-cyl or one of the earlier 6s they have a coil spring PP instead of
the later diaphragm type; if so it's possible one of those springs
is broken. My BJ8 once had a disk with a busted vibration damper
spring--it that's what they're called--which caused some judder when
engaging.<br>

<div>Recently (maybe 6 months ago) I installed a new clutch disc
and TOB. (PP looked good so didn't add a new one) Shifts great
but when starting the car even with it out of gear, it "groans"
a second or so when the engine starts but goes away and I would
only hear it at times when I down shifted. Once hot I never
heard it. Then--------I took a 600 mile trip over the last two
days. I began to hear it more and at different times---Pushing
the clutch in, starting the car and downshifting. Several times
I heard what sounded like a "ping" when I pressed the cutch
pedal.</div>

<div>I have a hunch it is the PP-----could be one of the fingers
got bent when installing?? Otherwise, I have no idea.</div>

<div>Second------for the years I have had this car, I have hated
the dreaded scuttle shake. I have balanced all wheels--even
added the scuttle shake "mod" (cross beams on the inner body,
behind the engine) and had the rear drums balanced locally. All
to no avail-----between 55 and 65 there is comes again!! The
drive was wonderful all the while as long as I drove slower or
faster than these speeds.</div>
