Inspect dog cogs adjacent to the synchros for abnormal shapes and wearing,
inspect lay gear shaft for bearing erosion. Large chips on the straight cut
1st gear should probably be replaced. Most other stuff is fairly evident.
Remember that the main shaft and 1st motion shaft must be fully inserted in
the case before the lay gear will center up.

Subject: [Healeys] MKII BJ7 Gearbox Rebuild????
I am in the beginning stages of planning to rebuild my original Gearbox.
The
synchros are wearing out, and have never been replaced. Does anyone have
any
advice they'd be willing to share?
I have a few questions:
1.) Do you have to pull the engine and box out in order to access the
Gearbox?
2.) what is the best source to acquire the new synchros from?
3.) Is there anything else I should do while I've got it out?
4.). IF, I don't do this myself, what should it cost, and any
recommendations
in the central Florida area?
I appreciate any thoughts or suggestions!!!!
Thank You all!!!!
