What's an 833 o/d from a truck worth?

Yall can argue strength all you want. Here's the facts. They put these transmissions in trucks and vans. Those were not light vehicles. Most cars will be much lighter than the vans and trucks these transmissions came out of, so the strength factor effectively goes up. While it is true that the counter shaft turns in high gear, the failures of the counter shaft and or case is fairly uncommon. Like anything else, as long as it has oil in it and it's full, it'll probably be ok. It IS an 833 derivative, after all.
