Questions -

Can I swap the tailshaft from the A-body 833 and one of the B/E body 833 OD's? No. The tailshaft and the output shaft have to be paired. The internals of the OD and the standard 833 are not interchangeable.

Can I replace the tailshaft from the B-Body 833 with the one from the other 833 OD? Maybe, though I think that the bearings may be different.

Thanks for any help. Heck yeah.



I would take the bent one out and remove the bearing that rides in the case, measure the the diameter of the shaft where the bearing rides on and then take the other tranny apart that you want to swap parts with and remove and measure the output shaft where that bearing rides on, if they are the same install the parts you want to use on that shaft and assemble it If there not the same diameter see if there is a bearing that has the proper I.D. and O.D for the case and shaft that you want to use, if so get one and go for it If not make another plan like having the bent output shaft straightened



Cab, it's not the bearing, 307 and 308 bearing have the same ID where it goes on the shaft. It's the end of the shaft where 3rd gear rides, it is physically smaller than a non OD trans.
