Listers,
     I have both a BN2 and a BN4 Healey transmission that I am attempting to
make one complete unit.   My questions are as follows:

-   2nd,and 3rd gears and the input shaft look good and feel good but I
noticed some wear on   the  very small teeth on each of these.  Not all the
way around but in various areas.
     They appear to be more squared off than the rest.  Will this cause a
major problem in
     shifting or excess noise  when in use.  Are they usable as is.

-    A couple of teeth on the 1st gear are a little burred or slightly out
of shape
     compared to the rest.  And also there is a slight gouge or pit on the
1st gear lead hub
area. Can these areas be lightly filed to bring them back closer to original
or will that ruin
     the hardening on the surface.

-    Does anyone have a useable laygear or better gears than I mentioned
above that they
     would want to part with.   I have accumulated a couple of overdrive
units and other
     excess trany parts if someone cares to barter or cash would be an
option too.

-    I could send pictures if that would help explain the gear conditions.

      Thanks for any help or your ideas,     Mark
