Better Shifting Mopars

50 weight motor oil works well also. I am always amazed at people who never change the oil in the trans. ATF has no side effects on a mopar 4 speed. Only reason they make more noise is 90wt dampens the sound of worn out rollers, wore out mainshaft tips and worn down countershafts. Really if your going to run a 4 speed call brewers or passion and get a quality complete rebuild kit and replace the parts that are out of spec from 40-50 years of use. It seems that lots of people claim they rebuilt a mopar 4 speed but can't read a micrometer or dial indicator.:banghead: these are the same people rebuilding motors with a bag of dope and a gardenhose. Most mopar 4 speed woes can be solved before they start if you check some basic things but 90% of people don't. Did you check mainshaft to see if it was bent ? (dial indicator). Did you check mainshaft tip for wear ? (dial calipers). did you check countershaft ? (dial clipers). did you check countershaft endplay ? (feeler gauge) ? funny huh! answer is usually "huh ? ummm yeah no let me bring it by for you to look at"

I'm going to rebuild my 833 in the next months. Do have any more useful hints and tricks for me? Maybe you should write a book about it :burnout:
