Ball trunion a833

[KosmicKuda]

I found a donor car the whole set up including clutch/fork shifter drive shaft and bellhousing/tranny for 600

I'm looking for a 64-65 floor shift hump. Any chance you could cut that out of the donor car you found?

You can buy spacer rings for an automatic (later engine w/ early transmission). Don't know if manuals have the same crank pilot hole diameters.

Rather than modify the existing driveshaft, check ebay for a company that fab's driveshafts to convert Jeeps that came with the same ball & trunion to a sliding yoke. Only $150 and you tell them the length. Haven't heard of an early-A guy using them, but "should work".

the manual flywheels crank pilot hole come in two sizes as well the early will have a smaller and later 68 plus will have a larger crank diameter. you just need to get the right manual flywheel diameter for year of motor.:burnout:

The A833 will only bolt up to a '64-65 slant bell specifically made for the A833.
All other slant bells are 3 speed only until the OD 833 came out. Those bells can work but the bearing retainer is too large for the A833. You can make a spacer ring to adapt the A833 to the OD bell. This excludes the truck bellhousings. They are huge and are an almost impossible fit in a passenger car.

You can just swap front bearing retainers to use an O/D bellhousing and a standard A833.

You can get a adapter from brewers to fit an 833 to an 833od bell for about $30
