I had something quite similar recently. No =E2=80=9CBANG=E2=80=9D, but =
some very nasty noises indeed. In my case, the carbon thrust bearing =

MOWOG(?) in their wisdom allowed for the future invention of an =
endoscope. There is a suitable hole in the casing through which you can =
insert yr scope and inspect the bearing or whatever else may be in =
bits!!
At a guess, you could do it from underneath if the car was high enough. =
My car is a BT7 so removal of the tunnel cover is a bore but not the =
drama that I=E2=80=99m told it is in a BJ8 so I went in from above.
Best of luck anyhow, Simon

Salutations fellow Healeyphiles,
I came to a stop sign on the steep uphill slope and wanted to enter =
a busy road with a lot of traffic going 40mph. A window of opportunity =
presented itself finally. The stick was in 1st, my foot on the depressed =
clutch pedal. I=20
quickly move my right foot from. the brake, gunned the engine and =
quickly released the clutch. The car lurched forward the saluted me with =
a loud bang which I could feel through the floor and immediately became =
lost propulsion. No response to the stick in any gear. The initial lurch =
allowed me to ooze across the road and get most of the car out of =
traffic. The engine was running just fine. AAA to the rescue. I and my =
65 BJ8 rode to Competition Motors in Portsmouth NH where they do =
extensive work on vintage cars of all makes. I await their diagnosis. =
What happened? What horrendous bill am I looking forward to? Thanks for =
your wisdom.
Rich Antal
