4-Speed Rebuilder Recommendation
@desmo900 Don't be intimidated by it. I was at first until it came apart. There is nothing to it. All you need is a good pair of snap ring pliers, and a press for the main/input shaft bearing (but you can have a shop press it on and off for you)
We also used a thin long pipe that sat perfectly into the counter shaft gears to hold the rollers and thrust washers while setting the counter shaft gear in place and then put in the countershaft in and drove the pipe out. (hard to explain but makes sense when you get there.
I have Jami Passing rebuilding the A833 book and it's very detailed with color pictures if you want some guidance. I didn't take near enough pics, but here is mine. I upgraded to an OD gearset.
