A833 4 Speed Problems.

Sure sounds like something is dragging. Have some one depress the clutch and see if you can spin the disk (car in neutral of course). It should move relatively easily. I believe the spec is there should be 0.050" of clearance when the clutch is depressed.

Depending on year and application the factory fill on the A833 was ATF. ATF will shift much better than gear oil especially in cooler climates. But even better than ATF is a manual tranmission fluid like Penzoil Syncromesh Fluid, Royal Purple Manual Transmission Fluid, the equivalent from Redline or the stuff from Passion Perfromance.
