    A body with an A833 and a Gear Vendor installed

    I've seen a few videos of people driving with a GV with an auto, but not a manual. I'd go this route if I come across an E/B body trans. Dodge 4-Speed Man - Gearvendors

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    This morning I asked a question in another thread about clips. Dan Brewer chimed in just now with the answer and pics, we all love pics, without being tagged or named or anything. Almost like he's a professional who's knowledgeable and active and supports his current and future customers...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    Wow, kudos to you, and thank you. I looked into the factory OD, but since I have a big block my understanding is I would need a specific bellhousing, a truck one iirc. My thought was I could swap in an OD if a long trip was planned. With my rebuilt A833 4 speed and efi, sway bars, it's a...

    Installing linkage clips

    How are yous guys installing these though? The entire clip under the stud, or the head of the stud through the two sections of the clip? And why are the clips wider on one leg, and opposite on the inner vs outer side? Iirc, I'm putting the entire clip under the head of the stud, then I turn...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    I'm better for going through it. Bonus, my daughter was there every step of the way, every day, and she learned more than I can state, how to give people a chance to fail, how to deal with people who do not have your best interests in mind, countless scenarios. The support I received here at...

    Do I wait for the 5 speed?

    That matthon dude knows a thing or two. Passon, Huff, GFI, they're all criminals, they continue to market and sell, and charge big $, for a trans that they know, and have known for many years, is defective. I've had discussions with Passon multiple times and met him, he's incompetent. He didn't...

    Pedal Extensions?

    All jokes aside, I'm just not comfortable with blocks of wood. Don't think pedal extensions are the best solution. Tilton swing pedals are probably too time consuming. Not only is moving the seat all the way up uncomfortable and not ideal, you can't, the shifter hits the bench seat, even with...

    Pedal Extensions?

    I've seen the pedal extensions, not convinced I really trust them on a bb 4 speed. My thought was something more permanent and we both could still just jump in and drive it. What cars are you using them on?

    Pedal Extensions?

    Anyone have any experience with, or ideas on, extending all 3 pedals? My daughter has to put the seat all the way up, and it's not an ideal driving position. HD pedals, no issues, rebuilt before, going to install bronze bushings. Bench seat and she DOES NOT want to replace with bucket seats...

    4 speed clutch pressure plate recommendations

    I had a B&B with the overcenter spring, worked well but you had to give it a good push. Replaced it with a Centerforce pp/clutch/bearing/flywheel, removed the spring, easy peasy no complaints. After many years, removed it for a trans swap and just assumed it might need to be replaced so I...

    A855 - 5 Speed

    I won't be returning to stock, and I would be willing to cut the original 4 speed hump out (and stash it away with everything else original) however I'd have to get rid of the bench seat. I like my bench seat, it's amazingly comfortable and I like the look, I didn't even know a bench seat was a...

    A855 - 5 Speed

    A855 came up again on FBBO. Firmly believe the A855 should be discontinued. As I just noted on FBBO regarding Passon: If he had integrity he would remove his name from it, break any association with it, and stop marketing it as his own. If he had any decency he would get on these Mopar forums...

    Who wins the battle to build an A833?

    I called Brewer's within the last month to rebuild a b-body trans for me, over a 1 year wait. Contacted the guy who did my a-body trans a few years back, ordered parts from Brewer's and had them sent to him, had a completely rebuilt trans within a few weeks. He's a member here, but I don't...

    Comparing manual trans options - variables other than gear ratios?

    Passon/GFI couldn't fix my A855 three different times, and couldn't fix the replacement one at all, after multiple attempts in house.

    Comparing manual trans options - variables other than gear ratios?

    Passon didn't design, engineer, build, make, or even think of anything. Not the A855 or the Overdrive. He doesn't source the parts, build them, service them, do the warranty work, hold the warranty, nothing. And he'll tell you that, once you have an issue, not before. GFI does it all, and they...

    Comparing manual trans options - variables other than gear ratios?

    6k for a 4 speed. Popping out of 4th has been and still is an ongoing problem, yet they still sell it. They don't stand by their warranty, lie, blame the customer, then never respond until you send correspondence promising to file a claim. The beauty of that is, and they're all too stupid to...

    Hurst shifter identification

    64-67 only console aftermarket? A or B? Early A bench, including 67, Hurst aftermarket was a slide in to replace Inland. Beginning in 68 Inland was replaced by the factory with a Hurst with a bolt on handle, iirc.

    H up or H down?

    Your first vote was up, last was down, same as me, so I think we agree? Either way, the red H makes all the difference, not sure if they even produce it anymore.

    H up or H down?

    Yes. Adjusted rods while trans out of car, put them back on, not even close to the dash, perfect position above the seat in 2nd/4th. I was told some cut/weld the stick on a 62 to give more room at the dash but I don't need it.

    H up or H down?

    I've seen this one before, in package down, out up.

    H up or H down?

    Oh boy, I envisioned it up, but now not so sure. When you see it in person it looks cool both ways, thinking I'll start with it up.

    A855 - 5 Speed

    Ugh, tough position to be in, I wish you the best. There's just no rhyme or reason, no cutting off point, no production run, that clearly delineate when problems began, seems to have been throughout. This isn't even my opinion, they've all stated it, just never publicly. I know I posted videos...

    4-Speed Rebuilder Recommendation

    I bought a refreshed trans from @jtkaaa07 Not sure if he does complete rebuilds or not, but mine has been on the road regularly for some time now with no issues, and he is intelligent with great communication, knows Brewer's iirc too. And this guy just recommended someone here: A855 - 5 Speed

    A855 - 5 Speed

    One side of the story? I copy/pasted emails directly from these clowns, I pasted verbatim conversations and texts. I also called out Passon in this thread with his member name, and told him about this thread. He never chimed in, ever, never, thats on him. I already addressed the, one guy with...

    A855 - 5 Speed

    This thread was never about warning anyone, in fact I started it out by asking for help and specifically stated this was not about bashing anyone. I praised Seth at GFI many times for his time and efforts, but the powers that be shut that down, told him to end all communication, and they would...
