Ever driven a T-10? Muncie?



Agreed....

Even an absolutely PERFECT 833 with all new parts isnt going to be "sweet shifting"..Not in the same way a Muncie or T10 is..Those trannies are as fragile as fine China, though...

The 833 is essentially a truck unit used in car applications...Its VERY strong, but its very heavy, and not meant to be powershifted. And yes, Chrysler knew this very early on, hence the "slick shift" crash boxes..

Use standard 90wt gear oil in most applications...Ive used Sychromesh in race units-but those arent meant for the long haul....I also do NOT recommend synthetic 90 wt...
