Before you pull and teardown the O/D, if you want to measure the oil pressure
the hydraulic system is producing, the A/D Type Oil Pressure Gauge Test Set I
sell will be helpful. Detail at:

brgds, Jay
my brother and i
just took about an 800 trip in his healey up to portland and down the oregon
coast. this was the first long trip since the engine rebuild and everything
worked great except for the o/d. it took a long time to go into o/d and it
was almost imperceptable sometimes because it took so long to engage. going
up hill and downhill it would slip out or try to disengage. on flatland it
seemed to do fine. since i am a pessimist and always assume worst case
scenario, my feeling is that the oil pump or the pistons have deteriorated and
cannot hold it in o/d. before we pull the o/d and tear into it is there
anything that we are missing, i.e., electricial malfunction or operating
valve. it worked fine last summer and he did not use it since then. any help
appreciated. hjim
