The Solution here is to buy a Supra or Celica for the wife and kids to
drive.
Keep the Healey as is because if you convert you won't really have a Healey
(only a look-alike).
If you know how to drive you don't need the kickdown switch (only for
dummies IMHO)
Put a 3.54 diff in which will give a more usable first gear and drive it
like it should be driven

I'm converting to a Smitty for a few reasons,
Want a modern tranny, less idiosyncratic than Oem with over drive
Less stressful for wife to drive.
Lighter
Cheaper to fix
Pulling tranny anyway to put in rear engine sealand update to BJ8 clutch
Eliminating overdrive kick down because using Hd8 carbs and cable throtle
Bought a complete kit with tranny and cut down drive shaft for a great price
No need to teach kids and wife to double clutch
Other than that, can't think of a reason.;)
