Hello, Healeyphiles -
I received the message below from a BJ8 owner. I'm passing it on to see if
anyone has any thoughts or advice about the problem.
Thanks!

My question for you on my transmission rebuilt is when I was downshifting
from third gear to second the gears were grinding I was always having to
double clutch to get it in the second gear. I have replaced just about every
part in the gearbox including the second gear which I thought was the
problem as the synchro was bottoming out or touching the face of gear it was
well worn. Went yesterday for my first test drive and all of the gears
worked perfectly and shifted very smoothly but when I try to downshift from
third to second it grinds terribly I had to come to a complete stop to be
able to shift it into second gear. It shifts from 1st to 2nd no problem
third and fourth gears work very well as does reverse. Do you have any
suggestions? I couldn't find anything on the tolerances between the gears
would you have access to some kind of chart or spec sheet? My other thought
was the plunger in the sliding hub might not be engaging on the first motion
shaft. Any thoughts or ideas for me to try!
I would certainly appreciate any help you might be able to provide!
