Mark,
Not to diminish any credit to Bob, but I think most of us who guessed at
your noise assumed that in the course of rebuilding a gearbox that you would
have replaced the release bearing and would have noticed that the fork was
drooping about an inch... shame on us..

Subject: [Healeys] Transmission Noise
Email listers,
As I reviewed the trail of emails regarding my recent effort to locate
the source of a transmission noise I realized that I had failed to
give credit to the gentleman who actually identified the problem.
Bob Macherone, owner of the Sports Car Shop in Eugene, OR is the man
that put me on the right trail to finding the the drooping clutch fork
that allows the T/O bearing to make contact with the first motion
shaft. Without Bob's initial suggestion to check for play in the fork
it is unlikely that I would have found the sound generator. It is
only fair to give credit where it is due.
