Subject: Re: [Healeys] OD BJ8 Yes, and I agree with Michael, and Simon's
note; a pressure test is in order. Problem always being
obtaining a gauge and fittings. However, it is imperative
that the pressure be 400+lbs. or it is not producing a good
overdrive exchange. Electrics are one thing, and pressure
another-then, wear factor a third.
If it does not hit 400, you might as well rebuild the unit, or
at least clean it and retest. Disengagement is a result of the
pressure being released, and the 8 springs pushing the clutch
back to direct drive. You need the 400 lbs. to overcome the 8
springs, and quickly move the clutch forward to OD.=20
