Poorboy, that sounds about right to me.

I checked my 2 bells and found the 82-d350 mech bell from the 360/435 granny tranny has dual bolt patterns... but it does not fit the 82-d100 833od 4 speed.

my 88-d100 v6 hydro bell has duel bolt patterns & fits my np435 but not the 833od. it is super tight on the bearing retainer but did go all the way on.

so... I guess I am looking for a v8- 833od mech bell for a truck chassis? or a hydro bell with the 833od bolt pattern if there is such a thing? might as well look around 833 trans while I am searching.

I should be able to fab up a slave cyl. mount fairly easy enough.


how exactly does the 833 & 833od differ? reading online it says the 3/4 lever is flip 180* so does it just shift 3/4 backwards? what happens if you bolt the lever on down like a 833? does it still shift/work?

Hummm….

I am guessing the bearing retainer is what I need to watch also with a 833 & 833od and I ASSume the bolt patter to bell is the same on all 833/833od 4 speeds?
