I've always (since the mid 70's) used 80W90 gear oil. Have never had a problem with it, even in cold weather driving, which is where I think the ATF discussion originated from. Purely my own opinion and experience. Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way

He rebuild many that had high wear problems from running ATF. I've never had problems with regular 80w-90 weight gear oil.

VL21 pro stock Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 1,357 central Florida	Waaay back when, I had a '66 Formula S, 4spd. Lived in Vermont. In the cold of the first winter I had it (used) I would go out to start it and let it warm up. Push clutch, start engine. Let clutch out, it would stall the engine. Had to rev it up, ease out the clutch. I checked around, then drained it and put dexron in. End of problem. I "believe" all the other four speeders that I had were factory filled with dexron. The 4 gear in my VL21 will have 80/90 if it ever gets on the road, now that I live in Fla. It takes gasoline to interest me.

He has his own proprietary transmission lubricant for mopar 4 speeds. There is a significant difference between his lubricant and the off the shelf products that many will recommend. btw I torture tested the Passon product and the OFTPs and his by far performed the best.

Also make sure it is GL-4 Rated NOT GL-5. GL-5 has too many friction modifiers in it and will not let the syncro grab the hub enough to slow the gear down. GL-5 is made for rear ends.

I went to several of the old Mopar drag seminars, they always recommended using ATF in the NP 833 regardless if drag race only or road racing I've used ATF in all my 833 since 1976 Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

The syn 75w90 is also recommended for Sure-Grips, which flies in the face of most recommendations for the 833. This is getting a little bit complicated. Could we just mix gear oil and ATF half and half as a compromise for our 833s? Master, again and still

No one has mentioned a downside to 80w90 except maybe the cold weather.

Ok...you're asking for the downside, I will provide it. 80w90 is fine.....IF its a GL-4, not GL-5 lube, and 95% of the 80w90's available ARE GL-5's. GL-5 has extreme pressure additives in it, highly desireable in a rear end (ring and pinion). The problem is these additives are not long term compatible with the brass synchros in our 833's. That's the downside, but many people do use it.

I've run gear oil in manuals with brass for years with no known issues, of course I am not running them 20k a year either and cant say I have more than 40k on any of them in many years of use.

ATF help alleviate the hard shifting problems The third generation synchors, 1971 and later versions, help a bunch also I have replaced the early syncho asemblys with the later version along with the steel shifting forks for several customers You can to There are three differrent versions of the NP stock synchro assemblys I've seen, 1964 to 1966, 1967 to 1970 and 1971 and later Two different side covers and two different versions of shifting forks also in those Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

I can feel the gears meshing really well. With out that feeling I would describe a tranny shift feeling as "vague". I'll take notchy over vague any time.

Yes, and a toploader and a T5 and a A435 and numerous other manual transmissions, foreign and domestic, even ones you have to double clutch. Question is, have you ever driven a fresh A833 with a new shifter? When I converted my 87 Diplomat over to stick I rebuilt the trans, rebuilt the clutch linkages, put a Holley pitpack on my new Holley Indy shifter, pulled the Indy apart, polished the lever, cleaned and lubed it and reassembled it. Adjusted the shift and clutch linkages and it was sweet. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

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... MB

Since we don't drive them everyday in the winter like we used to. That first shift on a cold morning with a super cold Hurst t-handle was interesting. It got better with the felt covered t-handles.

Any opinions? IMHO, if your 4spd had ATF in it, run it with that if you so desire, if it had gear oil (80w-90) run that, personally over the last 30 years I've always run gear oil in my Mopar 4spds I've seen too many guys over the years that say "The FSM says ATF", and they switch out the gear oil, and find that one or more several things happen, the tranny craps out big time, or it leaks like a sieve with the ATF, or it shifts like crap....so after you cut thru the "mustard" of this thread, and pic your poison, report back with your opinion Mike

He has his own proprietary transmission lubricant for mopar 4 speeds. There is a significant difference between his lubricant and the off the shelf products that many will recommend. btw I torture tested the Passon product and the OFTPs and his by far performed the best. Common sense is a flower that does not grow in everybody's garden

Yeah, so lesser mortals could try to keep up with Ronnie Sox. NOT FOR STREET USE. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
