I drive my Healey a lot and on very long drives.
In my case I did the Toyota transmission (instead of repairing the existing
transmission) so my wife, two sons, grandkids and others could drive the
car without me cringing everytime they shifted. =F0=9F=98=B2
In the future, if someone wants to, they can reinstall the old tranny,
assuming they rebuild it and fix the overdrive.

<div>The most rational, pragmatic swap at this point would be to an electri=
