Shifting problem with 833

Good idea Ace,

I took it for another test drive...YEAH! Much better with enough throw to dis-engage now. NOT as nice as I hoped for but at least I drove it. Took the guy that sold me the 3.00 (ford rear) out for a test drive...and yup...it was junk....jacked it up and both wheels turned the same way(non-posi)..I guess the spider gears were toasted. Oh well....I didn't like that rear anyway....too tall for 1st gear. I would likely use the clutch up in a few months of driving. I bought a 3.50 off eBay and will put it in tonight.

QUESTION: Is it a bad idea to add any additives to the gear case or rear (non-posi only) ? I put a little STP that was sitting on the shelf in with the rear end grease. I guess it might make the gear case lube too thick. I was just thinking it would help the worn parts some.

I think the gear case oil change is a really good idea. It's cold outside too.

I am getting a weird CAM groweling sound....I will save that for a different fourm. Thanks guys! Bud
