Good going guys with the advices.
- At first, I had no success trying to run full synthetic in my A-833. When I pushed it, it wanted to grind at every shift, even though it shifted quietly, all-be-it somewhat slowly, with the 50/50 I had been running up to that time.(50% ATF,50%EPgear oil).I took the tranny down multiple times for modding,eventually getting it to shift sweet at 7200rpm, with the synthetic oil. Those gears must be heavy at redline. All the usual mods, but left the brass rings in it for street. Hope you can get it with just a fluid change, and linkage adjustment.best of luck.
-And by the way, I know of no way to replace the rear bushing in the tailhouse except by complete dissassembly of the trans.That is; shifter and rods off,driveshaft off,oil out,tranny on the bench, cover off,forks out,tailhouse bolts out, tail rotated 180*,cluster down,maindrive forward,mainshaft/tail out, m/s assy out,naked tailhouse. Pound out bushing, put in trash. Install new bush. Reassemble trans, install trans, install D/S,install oil, install and adjust shifter,check clutch departure,install inspection cover, Roadtest.
-There is another way; With just the driveshaft removed, and using a special tool, push the bad bushing forward but not out of its bore.Push in the new bush until it hits old bush.Leave them both in there. Tricky to do, but doable.
-In the first method, notice the shifter had to come off and then be reinstalled and adjusted and roadtested. That would be the right way to do it. If this method was used it should have been presented to you working as before. That is the reason for the roadtest.
-If method two was used, your shop may be correct in stating that the shifter was not touched. However the roadtest should have been performed, the shift-problem noted, and reported to you for adjustment consideration prior to pick-up.
-The method options should have been discussed prior to the installation, and the price charge should be commensurate with the method used.
-hope this helps.
