Hey guys, just picked up an A body A833 to put in my 71 340 duster. I’ve always had an auto in my car be it a 904 or currently a 727 and I’m super new to the A833s. I’ve learned how to identify overdrive units and wether its a later or earlier model. So here’s what I know so far. It’s a later model trans and based off the 10,000 day calendar I got-
Day 4371 is Monday, July 16, 1973. It’s NOT and overdrive trans and it is an a body based on the tail shaft and the bellhousing. But that’s where my knowledge ends. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me a bit more about it based on the casting numbers/stamps as I’m finding some mixed info on here. Thanks and from what I have read so far, on the machined surface there’s supposed to be a couple more stamped numbers to the right of what’s in the picture but nothing is there on this case.

How to Identify an A-833 Chrysler Transmission - Mopar DiY

The A-833 was released for the 1964 production year. However, it had been in the works for some time. An important thing to keep in mind is that not every case has a clear casting date present on it. After handling thousands of these transmissions, it is evident that the greatest care was not...

Benefit vs an earlier trans would be the gear ratio/spread. Closest ratios for the 833.

The side cover and shift forks are considered to be inferior to the earlier trans.
 
Good trans 247 close ratio 71-73 Its what I will be using. Steel forks . Works great for the street This ratio was used in 70 TA and AAR and 71-74 cars

This has a chance of having the 3.09/1.92/1.40/1 gearset since it could have been for an early '74 model year car based on the date and would also have the 904 26 spline output.

Every late 74, early 75 A body trans I have had with the 3.09 1:1 gearset, used the 5.125" retainer and the "overdrive" bellhousing. This one has the 796/4.354" retainer.
