Help identifying A-833 Trans

Hello,
There are no numbers on the stamped pad opposite the side cover. I believe this to be a body with 23 spline shaft but was curious to the year and wanted to confirm A Body.

Looks like A-Body to me

Yup, that's an A body trans.
I'm not a big numbers guy, so here is how I would go about approximating the year:
Count the splines on the output shaft. If it has 29 splines (edit: I should have said 30 splines~sorry,brain fart), it is most likely '68 and up. If it has 25, it is '66-'67. '65 and earlier used a ball and trunion output shaft, which yours does not have.
Look at the bellhousing- is it cast iron, or aluminum? Cast iron would indicate early '69 and previous, aluminum would be later. If you can tell if it used a 10.5" clutch/130 tooth flywheel, that would also indicate '68 and later- earlier units used a smaller (9-9.5 inch?) clutch and flywheel. Your bellhousing also appears to be a single pattern (4 spd.) unit, also indicating '68/early'69 and previous. Later ones were dual pattern (3 and 4 spd.) in addition to being aluminum.
Hurst shifter (if original) was not used in'67/early '68 (?), when an Inland brand shifter was used.
So, looking at your trans., IF it is a 30 spline output with a single pattern iron bellhousing, I would guesstimate it as a late '68-early '69 A body unit.

Thanks for all the info. I counted the splines on the input shaft and I counted 23. I believe I still have the clutch and i will go measure it. I believe it is 10.5”.

Here is a picture of the flywheel but this flywheel was mounted to a 340 I got with the package that was built 8/29/1970. I’m not certain the trans and motor are a matching set.

Ok. I went back out and counted the output shaft and it is 30 splines. I counted it 3 times and used a paint pen to keep track of where I started. The bell housing is aluminum. Is it possible I have a 67-9 big block a body case with a small block aluminum bell housing that was swapped?

History of the A833 Chrysler Four Speed Transmission
Chrysler's first factory-installed four-speed transmission (1963) was the Borg Warner T-10. It didn't take long for the engineers at Chrysler to conclude a stronger and more durable transmission was needed, and the New Process A-833 was introduced with the 1964 model year. Both '64 and '65 models carried the flanged output for the ball-and-trunnion style universal joint. B- and C-bodies utilized the common 2.66 low gear ratio, while the A-body transmissions were 3.09 low gear ratio. The 1965 Super Stock 426 Hemi-powered vehicles received the first heavy duty "Hemi" 18-spline input models.


The flange-style output was dropped for the 1966 models, and the slip-yoke tailshaft was introduced. The long tailshaft versions utilized the larger 30-spline output shaft (same as the 727 Torqueflite) and the short tailshaft version the 26-spline output shaft (same as the 904 Torqueflite). The production of the 1967 383 big block-powered Darts and Barracudas mandated the addition of the 30-spline output shaft in the A-body transmission, which was expanded to include all A-body transmissions in 1968.

Beginning with the '68 models, a small (3" X 7/8") raised machined pad was added to the main case, just above the casting numbers on the passenger's side. The car's serial number, along with the transmission's build date (10,000 day calendar code) and a 4-digit sequential production number are stamped into this pad.

With the beginning of the 1970 model year, the new "lug-style" synchronizer rings and the wider (.382" vs .216") synchronizer strut keys were introduced. Production of the AAR Cuda and T/A Challenger Trans-Am models in the spring of 1970 introduced the 2.47 low gear "close ratio" 23 spline gearset. 1970 A833 production brought to an end the tried and true ball-detent side cover, switching to the interlock lever design for 1971. The 18-spline transmissions also received a gear change with a 2.44 low gear ratio gearset for the 1971 models.

1974 ended the long tailshaft B- and E-body 4-speed production, while 1975 was the last year for the A-body short tailshaft 4-speed and the beginning of the overdrive versions of the A833. The 23 year run of the famous A833 ended with the 1986 model Dodge trucks.

The New Process case # 97372 was only used in 1967 and 1968. If the Hurst shifter and transmission originally came from the same A-Body,then it should be a 1968 A833. Only one A-Body A833 is listed in the 1968 catalog. Same transmission for 340 and 383.

Belhousings on "A" body 383 cars were 10.5" cast iron.
