List,

Just to clarify: almost all 'A' type overdrive "wear" parts are obtainable, 
new, from guys like John Esposito of Quantumechanics. Any parts no longer 
manufactured are still in good supply. Again, from John in the US and others 
in the UK.

There are Healey 'A' types everywhere. Unlike Triumphs, almost every Big 
Healey that came to the US had overdrive, all 'A' types. Except for the 
annulus and rear case, both obtainable rebuilt or new, they are, for all 
practical purposes, identical to the Triumph 'A' type version. Every 
recycled Healey has one.

So don't dispair. You don't have to go to a Toyota 5 speed if you don't want 
to.
