833 rebuild

I used broom stick and condiut to hold the needle bearings in.........
I think now brewers sells the tool for like 11 bucks. Buy it

4-speeds is what he knows. Pick his brain for any other tools.

Buy a good set of snap ring pliars.
Harbor freight makes a bearing puller for around 40 bucks, you will need it.

There is a special tool to remove the reverse idler shaft.

Freeze the shaft and heat the bearings and it will go assemble properly.

There is a critical brass bearing in the input shaft that has about .001 tolerance, have a buddy with a pin gauge to check it, if out of tolerance it requires replacement and reeming to size.

The trans are easy to rebuild, but you have to have the right tools.

I think Wayne charges like $250 to rebuild a trans plus parts.

Tools are not cheap, but you have them for the next time.
