    Hi guys, I'm making some trailing arms for a custom setup for my rear but wanted to double check my measurements. Whats the distance between the centre hole of the leaf spring bracket to the diff centreline? Anybody know for sure?

    Built 273, what sure grip ratio with a A833 3.09 first gear

    What are the other ratios in that 69 box No sweat AJ, I just remembered I'd asked the question earlier in the year and re-read the thread and you gave me all the info I needed. The 3.09 is the way to go on the 6 you said. I swopped the b-body housing for a '65 A-body ball and trunion. Weird...

    Built 273, what sure grip ratio with a A833 3.09 first gear

    I've got an Aussie Hemi 265 6 cylinder that I'm building and will be turbo'd. I bought a 1969 b-body A833 and it's got the 3.09 gears. Why is 3.09 good for 6 cylinders? and will a 3.54 rear be ok?

    A833 Woes and how to paint it

    As luck would have it they found my complete and unused rebuild kit in the box provided to them. So I took the tranny back and watch them dismantle it. Are you meant to knock shafts out with a hammer and driver? Aw they couldn't get the rear shaft and gears out from the tail shaft, the damn...

    A833 Woes and how to paint it

    Yeah I handed him the rebuild kit from Brewers. Then later he came back and said He needed rollers (which were in the rebuild kit) so I had to order just the rollers. Then they don't use the gaskets given to them. The agreement was (based on payment and his assertion) that the cases needed to be...

    A833 Woes and how to paint it

    Last time I went in before I picked it up, the assembled shafts and gears were just lying around..for weeks and looked a bit dirty...hairs, dust etc so not really feeling confident. How hard should it be to turn the input shaft once assembled? And if I take the shaft/gear assembly out is there...

    A833 Woes and how to paint it

    The '65 Tail housing also had really thick solid black goo inside. It had got into the rear bearing as well. Someone said this was a rust preventative lining...but why would you need a rust preventative lining on an oily inside??

    A833 Woes and how to paint it

    A833 Woes and how to paint it

    Hey everyone.... Coming at you from South Africa So I purchased a B-body A833 and a 65 tail housing and shaft which the shop here has made into a beautiful combo for my A-body without using a ball and grunion setup - so engineering is great! HOWEVER!!! They insisted on painting the entire...

    Bmw transmission

    A-body 1972 Valiant Charger Came with a borg warner single rail 3 speed. Even the BW 4 speed is tiny. The 4 speed was a left sided offset transmission so the 4 speeds had a hump. Apparently the A-833 does require some floor mod although the crossmember remains the same.

    Bmw transmission

    It look slike even a SUpra would require radical tunnel mods though. Maybe I'll just wait and bite the bullet with an A-833 How much does the tunnel need to be modded with the A-833 in an A-body? any pics?

    Definitley lots of Hilux's here. Will that tranny handle 450hp? Is it small enough to go into an A-body?

    Nada in the car. Had a 3 speed BW with the Hemi 265 but they're both sold. Wanting to get my hands on a 360 and an A-833 but thinking just the 360 and mate it with a R154 Supra 5 speed

    Thanks Duster...Will definitely check it out. i think we have loads of those boxes lying around. Will they handle 500hp?

    Bmw transmission

    OK so I live in South Africa and getting hold of an A-833 for a 360 is both time consuming and very expensive as my import duty is almost 50% and exchange rate is ten to the dollar. I spoke to a guy here who makes CNC cut transmission adapters and he said why not put in a Diesel BMW...

    Hi Guys, I have a rear axle DANA 60-2 with 35 spline axles. I am trying to rebuild it and am looking at axle bearings. Do I need snap rings or not? I have no idea. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSR-9400M/ OR http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSR-9400RP/?rtype=10 THanks, Brett
