Thanks David, Nothing wrong with the spring or the shifter, only replaced
the plastic fitting and lubed the balls.

 

My machinist buddy came over to provide the 3rd and 4th hand and It was a 15
min job with flat blade screw drivers.  He took home measurements and will
cut a metal circle and add holders to create a tool for those who have only
2 hands to press in and hold the spring.  He is the greatest when it comes
to making tools for odd jobs.  Let you know how it works when I take the
shifter off to finish the tunnel and speedo and when I put it back on the
trans.

 

Regards,

Usually a 4th hand helps the most. 

 

Also check the spring if you are installing a new spring they are to large
of an OD and will not fit in the the shifter hole.

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 Shifter install

 

Instead of working on the speedo and  angle drive problem, I installed the
tunnel with a desire to drive the car for the first time in 18 months.
Could not get the shifter springs, retaining ring and circle clip into the
shifter housing.  At any rate, I did get the shifter to work by pressing
down hard at the same time moving the stick into 1st and 2nd and with a
little more practice 3 and 4.  So after a 20 min drive around the sub
division and through and around all the cul de sacs, I took a little time
and was able to get it into the garage.  Now I can keep working on the
tunnel insulation, and other assorted items.  But, I can drive the car which
is most important.

 

Any ideas on how to install the Shifter without 3 hands?  Is there a special
tool?

 

Bob Begani
