Fellow Healeyoids,
After a month of the first drive of HBJ7L -20040 in 26 years, I have
installed new brake rotors, a new clutch, new throw out bearing and rebuilt
the gearbox. The gearbox is mated to the overdrive now and ready to
reinstall in my Healey. I sincerely hope that the 'clunking' has
disappeared. I now have the original BJ7 box installed instead of a BJ8
box. I have been turning the gearbox over by hand before it is installed
and have noticed a tight spot. But, AH HA! I just had an epiphany, it is
the oil pump riding on the cam in the overdrive providing the resistance, so
I guess that I just answered my own question. Anyway, wish me good luck
this weekend installing the gearbox.
