Nope, just drain and switch. If you're really worried about it, do the next drain and fill after short mileage. There will be quite a bit about 1/2 liter left in the hydraulic system in the overdriv

Well -- in a very general sense, your mechanic may be right - it is known that 'slippery' additives will mess up the cone clutch in the overdrive. Try it, you'll like it! Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C. B

I discovered something interesting about front fender installation when I dismantled my BJ8 (very late car) for restoration: the 3rd bolt (from the front) - the one that is almost impossible to get t

A question that has been on my mind lately - (another sign of a sick, sick Healeyite): which way is the ash tray - ash receptacle in Brit-speak - supposed to be installed: thick side of the box forw

Nope, no screw used there - it's actually a fairly bendable aluminum clip - just clamp it on slightly overhanging the end of the doorseal piece as a finisher. Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C. BT7 tri-carb

Hello Jack: I know that there have been a couple of conflicting posts on this. The 2 joints act to create a specific air space between the manifolds as a sort of 'Healey' version of a heat riser func

I agree with Michael - when my BJ8 was on the road with a Toyota conversion, I ran Redline MTL for about 4 years - worked beautifully! Toyota usually recommended a gear oil for those boxes. When it

Welcome to the list! Many of us have installed the BJ8 diaphragm-type clutch to our earlier Healeys, I've done so in my BT7. I highly recommend it - the BJ8 clutch is a huge improvement over the ear

First question: did the diff change resolve the noise problem? if not, then your 3:9 diff is probably okay. I assume that the leak is from the pinion seal - to change the seal, you have to remove th
