MTL or straight 30 oil should work fine. Sounds like a hydraulics issue. First,
check your oil level. If OK, if you can, take your car to the shop that rebuilt
it; they should at least be willing to help you diagnose the problem. If not
possible, you'll need to check pump pressure; you need a gauge and adapter to
check it. If you don't have a shop--or a club or helpful Healey owner
nearby--that can test it you can get a gauge: <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

pump shouldn't wear that fast; it's possible a piece of crud got under the pump
check valve or something went wrong in the accumulator. Flushing your oil--check
the screen under the big brass nut--might help, but it's not likely. Did the
problem happen suddenly, or over time/miles?<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV>Several months ago I had the OD unit rebuilt (BJ8)---new brass
parts. Added 30w non detergent oil. At first, it would shift into
OD pretty quick. Now--it take forever to go into OD----a minute or
more. Coming out of OD is instantaneous. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The question is why so long to go into OD. Before rebuild, it would
go into OD quickly and perfectly every time. I was using Redline MTL
then. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Could the 30 wt be a little too heavy and be creating pressure
problems. Might the MTL solve the problem?</DIV>
