how's this 833 look?

[floivanus]

hi all, new to mopars, trying to find a 4 speed for my 67 barracuda, and looking at a few on craigslist. seller sent me a few pictures, they can be found at http://photoshack.com/thumbnails.php?album=10884

let me know what you think and what a fair price for me to buy would be, or it it'd be worth it.

BUMP

Any help? is this an OD trans or not, any help would be appreciated.

Was it left outside in the rain with the side cover off? Unless it is around 50 bucks (just to have for parts) I would pass and find one in better (no rust) shape. You can find a better one for $100-$400.

Unless it is a bolt in and go tranny you will be into it another $150 (minimum) for a rebuilt kit. I am rebuilding a OD right now for my truck so I am going through the same thing right now.

Where did you see brewers for $895? On their site it's $999, plus a refundable $250 shipping container deposit, plus shipping. Me oh my that gets pricey quick!

alright, so that's a universal pass on that one. Just got a little excited because that's the first 833 I've seen locally since I bought the car 2 years ago.

Also thought the asking price was pretty good, cuz I come from the chevy world where yahoos think that a 40 year old muncie is worth a grand or more.

Oh don't worry, you'll find the same thing in the mopar world. :toothy10:

Good Alum OD trans for an a-body should run you anywhere from 50-150.

Cast Iron std boxes are usually 100-300.

Here's a good primer about 4 speeds

Just curiuos, what was his asking price? Its not even complete!!!!

 

[floivanus]

$150 firm. yeah, now that you guys say it should be anywhere from 50-150 in a good version that seems like a major rip.

-----It has the ball detent side cover, thats the early one-'pre od' era.------

---- Od's have the rooster comb with springs that usually binds up----they suck.

-----od's also have a 5''+ front bearing retainer.----

-----all 4spds will have a 4.35-4.80 bearing retainer, or something like that.

well, I'm just glad I registered and asked. when it comes to mopar 4-speeds I'm about as dumb as the stereotypical chevy guy.
