Hello
That brought back a few memories.
It was either in the late 1960s or early =E2=80=9870s before I bought my fi=
rst 100 and I was walking along the road fronting Bondi Beach in Sydney whe=
n I saw a parked 100 with its bonnet open. While I didn=E2=80=99t know a hu=
ge amount about Austin-Healeys at the time I did know that they were not fi=
tted with a Chrysler slant six-cylinder engine complete with a push-button =
automatic controls on the dash.
In 1977 when DMH was in Australia I talked to him about the BN3 and during =
the conversation the subject moved to the automatic gearbox they tested in =
the car. I have no idea what gearbox was tested and the car was subsequentl=
y fitted with a 100S box with an overdrive.

Subject: [Healeys] 3000 with auto trans
Had an interesting request and I would like input from the list. Has anyon=
e had experience with fitting an automatic transmission behind a AH 6 cylin=
der? I know it sounds counter to the normal sports car image but some time=
s you just don=E2=80=99t have the =E2=80=9Cbody=E2=80=9D parts to use a lef=
t pedal. The MGC with the Borg Warner trans comes to mind but those units a=
re very heavy and antiquated, and not well received buy the buyers back in =
1967. Probably best if the trans was not tied to a computer for shifts and =
control, so looking for your experience and knowledge.
Thanks
Perry
