Which transmission do you have Ira?=C2=A0
The Toyota W-58 was the most popular, and on it the transmission drive gear=
is available in a range of ratios (due to the fact that trans was used in =
a variety of vehicles).
This can be a useful addition, especially since a Healey with a 5-speed lik=
ely also has tires different from the stock, and often a changed rear end r=
atio, too.
That drive gear was pretty inexpensive last time I looked.________________
