hi guys I just swapped my 727 automatic out for an A-833 3 speed OD. I’m ready to set up my linkage and realized that the shifter mechanism I have is toasted. It as way too much play to be able to use it and it will shift out of 2nd with out shifting the rod. It’s an ITM mechanism. I need to find a mechanism but I cant drop $600 on a new Hurst. Used is the way I have to go. Problem is how do I tell what shifter will fit my make and model?? I have found some off of chev’s fords and even other model dodges. Is there an easy way for me to tell if it will fit?

Check Brewers transmission out, they can rebuild the one you have or sell you a new one.
Those shifters were sloppy after about 10 years of use.
You can use about any hurst compition shifter bottom, but you will have to modify your handle to a bolt in style.
 
Yea Brewers is a great place for that but the price is high. Rebuild kits is more than half the price of a new hurst. The hurst kit is almost $700 can
 
I don't know if Hurst still provides this service but, A long time ago I sent my Mechanism off to Hurst and they rebuilt it for me. Cost back then was $60.00 which if they still provide this service, I'm sure it cost more. It's worth a call to them.
 
Trying not to play with semantics here, but isn't a A-833 a "four speed manual transmission?" At least that is what it is listed as in my maintenance manual, I also own a A-833 four speed. Just asking.
 
Can’t remeber what year but at some point they figured out they could flip the 4th gear and use it as a OD instead. So they made 4 speeds and also 3 speed with OD’s.
