A833 - are they usually a hard box to drive?

Lot's of great advice shared already. I tried several different oils in mine, and finally landed on Red Line MTL. It's on the spendy side, but I found it shifts noticeably better with it than any of the standard choices.
Knowing that the clutch is working properly is a must as well.

Bingo......Redline MTL.

Installed this in my 833, and it shifts so much better.

Read up on brass syncros, and what type of oil they need.
Then put Redline MTL in. You wont be sorry.
