hey, just off line a while for winter break @ work.

motor is all done and moved onto the hydro bell/833OD trans for it......and !@#$%^&* it does not bolt up! digging out the NP435 and see if it fits. not what I want but now I need to know if it fits.

I got this hydro bell from Basketcase and IIRC it was off a 88d100 v6 with the A535 5 speed. which looks almost the same as a 833od unit. I just ASSumed it bolted up till now it don't.

I would prefer a 833 but would settle on a 833od. I don't think the a535 would hold up behind the v8 they way I want to drive it.

so I have in the shed the

NV4500 5 speed
NP435 4 speed
833OD 4 speed

since I have to stay with the hydro bell I need to find the A535 5 speed or hope the np435 bolts up.


maybe score one of the 9 bolt v6 hydro bells with the ax-15 5 speed out of a 2000 Dakota... NV3500 maybe?
