Description:

What is this gearbox tie bar pin polybush kit?

This touring-grade polyurethane bush kit is designed for the gearbox tie bar pin fitted to Austin Healey four-speed side-change gearboxes. It replaces the original rubber bushes with a more durable polyurethane alternative while retaining a compliant, road-friendly feel.

This is the touring specification, intended to provide controlled location with minimal increase in noise or vibration.

Key benefits

  • Improved durability compared with rubber bushes
  • Maintains correct tie bar pin location without excessive stiffness
  • Resistant to oil and fuel contamination
  • Retains compliance for everyday road use
  • Suitable for standard and lightly uprated drivetrains

Will this fit my Austin Healey?

Yes, if your car is fitted with a gearbox tie bar pin.

Fits:

  • BN2 to BT7 with four-speed side-change gearbox

Also fits:

  • BT7 to BJ8 with four-speed centre-change gearbox (listed as GBC256P)

Does not fit:

  • BN1 three-speed gearboxes
  • Vehicles not fitted with a gearbox tie bar pin

What’s included in the kit?

  • Touring-grade polyurethane bushes for the gearbox tie bar pin
  • Correct quantity to service one tie bar pin assembly

Technical details

  • Material: Polyurethane (touring compound)
  • Colour: Black
  • Application: Gearbox tie bar pin
  • Resistance: Oil, fuel, and general road contamination
  • Compliance level: Higher than performance grade, closer to rubber

Installation & setup notes

Installation is straightforward using standard hand tools and reuses the existing pin and fixings unless worn.

  • Light lubrication recommended during fitting
  • Inspect the tie bar pin for wear or ovality before installation
  • Final tightening should be carried out with the drivetrain at rest

The touring compound is intended to minimise noise and vibration transfer compared with stiffer alternatives.

Why choose the touring specification?

The touring compound is intended for owners who prioritise ride quality and mechanical sympathy. It offers improved longevity over rubber while retaining a compliant feel suitable for regular road use.
