I just supplied a TR6 J type box to a guy in Osnabruck, (which apparently nobody else could rebuild properly)**. I have been building boxes for the GT6 for more years than I can remember, and it was me that did the J type conversion/improved mainshaft mod originally. I haven't forgotten it, much like the dud E type V12 auto box someone in the UK sold me, which failed after 200 miles (changing that involves removing the engine again!). The whole incident cost me about a grand in time and trouble. The Hardy engineering box is and has always been perfect, no problems in the 15 years that has gone by since on a modified 100/6. everyone in the trade knows Dennis Welch have been selling selectors that jump out of 2nd gear for decades, and his recon laygears are total soft butter.followed by utter bollox as support for their stuff, so as not to have to honour warranties. I got Hardy engineering to rebuild the Healey box, (heard good things about their Healey boxes),Ie. Heard it all before! two returns on warranty later.(FROM FRANCE, and it's not fun to remove a gearbox from a Healey!!!!! TWICE) "the reason why my (WELCH repro) gears failed is because I failed to use engine oil in the gearbox." This, apparently, is ok for the gearbox and works better in the J-type overdrive than the high-pressure stuff.I remember hearing this from that man at Dennis Welch.! I asked the transmission specialists who rebuilt my overdrive last September (before I bought the car) for advice as to overcoming my sticking overdrive (the car has done barely 700 miles since the rebuild, last September).Īmongst other good advice they recommend NOT using EP 80 etc., but a non-synthetic (mineral) 15-30 engine oil.
