[Healeys] Side shift tranny

[A H List]

Be aware of what "rebuilt" means when it comes to gearboxes. "the best
parts I could scrounge up from under the bench, assembled with
bearings that don't sound too noisy" is the default meaning of rebuilt
over here.

Every rotating part wears out to some degree and using worn parts will
result in an even more stodgy shift than when new. Then there are the
Eastern-sourced brass synchros and bearings that will ensure a very
short lived gearbox... Ask specifically what was renewed and what
brand of parts were used as it is a very big job to do the gearbox
twice because somebody scrimped on parts quality.
