It would be nice to know what I'm getting into before I pull it and make a big problem out of a little problem. -1967 Belvedere II 440/4speed

Also be sure that you have the correct bolts and use a sealant under the head. A833 4-speeds, parts & services http://www.brewersperformance.com/

Went back to regular gear oil. i went from a 75-90 gear oil to redline mtl and it now shifts WAY better. from now on that or penzoil synchomesh is all ill use. the tranny does not leak with synthetic either. all my gaskets and seals are only 2 hears onld though.

Redline is all i use. No leaks , great shifts. In Extreme cold a cold 4speed will be a sticky 4speed
