I’m having an issue with my BJ8 going in to second gear where shifting normally (gently) into second results in grinding and slipping out of second gear. First, 3rd and 4th all work fairly smoothly.
In going from first to second, if I pull the shifter hard into second gear (pulling back very firmly as far as the selector will go), and then give immediate throttle, it will go into second and stay there with no drama.
A local Healey colleague thought that an adjustment to the 1/2 selector fork might help. I suppose this would entail moving that fork forward slightly relative to its current position.
Has anyone dealt with this problem and does this seem a plausible solution?
thanks
