We have sent for your inspection today, 1) The bronze cone and housing of the overdrive gear of the above car. You will see that the cone has become loose in its housing. 2) The servo liner which we replaced after three complaints from the owner. A new liner was obtained from 'W'. The original liner was roughed up by us twice before discarding it, but it appears to have immediately glazed after very little further mileage. Br | ||
