Not to Hijack but I am doing an 18 spline now. I have done Muncies, Fords 3&4 speeds and the 833 is by far the easiest on to work on. It is a heavy ***** though. The reverse pin took some time but i rigged up a PS pulley installer to press it out. I posted on FBBO about repointing 2nd and 3rd gears as they are a bit rounded. $th will get a new shaft as it has been cut. Here are some pics of said gears tell me what you think.View attachment 1715898047 View attachment 1715898047 View attachment 1715898049

@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.

Damn, that's a nice looking shop!


FWIW, the only thing weak about an aluminum case is the countershaft bore. I was spraying 175hp of nitrous through my aluminum a833 last weekend without issue.
