A833 Transmission
A friend of mine in Red Deer had a spare tranny, his mechanic (expert) checked it over and it needs a rebuild so he is waiting on parts. Once he has it done I am going to give him this one (as a core) and he can check it over. That transmission is the new style, mine was a 1970.
The transmission was only bolted in with 3 bolts as the RL bolt hole was stripped out. I put in a heli coil and I also noticed the bolts were a mixed bag and two of them were too long. I have new bolts now.
I flushed and changed the transmission oil approx 20kms ago, it was loaded with brass glitter (just like before). There is no way that is normal. I ordered a new poly mount as the the original looked haggard (although it was still solid). The rear yoke has no play with the shaft installed. I put a light on the input shaft bearing and it is badly pitted. I "face timed" the red deer mechanic and showed him the front input shaft and he agreed with you folks, the play is normal. I dont want to tear down the tranny anymore as the the original shop may come good on it and I want this guy to document it as he knows a lot more then I do, he may discover a obvious problem.
How do I check the bell housing alignment and runout in layman terms ? I have a magnetic dial gauge.
