hard shifting 833

One other thing I should have mentioned was to make sure your shifter linkage is adjusted properly. Since the guys were talking about fluids, I looked in my `68 service manual to see what it listed. This is what the Chrysler manual says: if you live in a warm climate use SAE 140 gear oil and for cold climates SAE 80-90 weight gear oil or extreme cold climates use AQ-ATF automatic transmission fluid, A-suffix Dexron. Now these weights and fluids are for a `68 model A-833 iron case 4 spd., but you can still see that what fluid you use, depends a lot on where you live. Good luck getting that spring off, and when you do, tell me what you used because I have to do it too!
