I also have 2 factory 833 OD's which I would tear apart and rebuild before installing. While I am at it I would change out the mainshaft and tailhousings to make them A body tranny's. I already bought an aluminum tailshaft housing and the weight difference between it and the cast iron one is...

I am at this moment looking at previous installs done by other members and am seriously considering it as an option. Thanks for turning on that light. I will do further research and hopefully there may also be some videos to watch from previous installs.

I will check into the TKX. I really haven't even given it a consideration because I am running buckets and don't want to end up with an obviously "weird" lookin tunnel under the carpet. The gearset from Passon is now over 3K. I still don't know why he doesn't list it on his website but he did...

Got it. So what did Brewers say that would fix the issue? I can understand being frustrated but I haven't had to deal with any issues and still see the OD gearset as an option. Yeah .80 isn't a great OD ratio but I am still willing to possibly keep it open as an alternative to modifying the...

What were the issues ?

They should work in any 833 even the aluminum OD version but someone mentioned something about having to make sure about the reverse gear meshing correctly. I would mention it to Jamie when you call.

That’s the kit I was referring to. I called Passon and Jamie said he still sells the gears by themselves. He said at that time he only had 3 sets left and would not get more until late August.

That was some super great info. Right now I am think I will look at the GV as plan B. I will probably do a factory OD unit first. If I can't live with it I will probably go with the 18 spine OD gearset next. If I can't live with that I will probably go the GV route.

I tend to agree with you H D that I would be happy with just using the GV as an OD only. I just don't know that I would really need to use it as a splitter, that was actually the premise of me actually only wanting a 5 speed or the replacement 18 spline gearset in my original thoughts on which...

So how does that work with the GV. Do you have a button on the shifter or is there some sort of programmable computer that comes with it? Seems like if you use a button that it would take a fair amount of practice to get used to getting the GV to do what you want. How much tunnel mods do you...

Got any pictures of the TKX install? Did you install the QA1 suspension because mods / removal of torsion bar suspension was necessary? Did you have to modify the tunnel to get it to fit? What kind of shifter did you use and does it come out in the stock location?

Thanks, looks promising for what I want out of my car. So far that looks like the best way to go as far as an OD option.

Thanks for the info. I know the earlier A bodies are a bit tighter on clearances and I don’t really want to cut or modify the tunnel extensively. So if I have to do a huge amount of modifying that will probably be a deal breaker. 71 Dart.

Hey Fast, thanks for the info. Is there a reason you went back to the stock shifter? Did you have to cut the tunnel? Do you like the setup?
