[Healeys] Centershift transmission problems

[Oudesluys]

Well this could be a number of things ranging from very cheap&easy to 
fix to a major overhaul.

Start checking and replacing the springs and balls in the shifting 
mechanism. The springs loose their tension and may have to be renewed or 
perhaps you can fit some small washers under them. You will have a 50% 
chance of succes.
In some cars soggy or broken engine and/or gearbox mounts can cause the 
gear lever to interfere with parts of the transmission tunnel thus 
knocking the gear lever out of gear.
These are usually simple and straight forward jobs costing little money.

After that it will become expensive. If synchro's, bearings, gears 
and/or forks are worn it means a rebuild and serious $$/.
