no straight cut gears in a 833/OD trans. just reverse IIRC.

The shift pattern is still the normal 'H' pattern. The 3-4 lever on the side of the trans is rotated (flipped if you prefer) 180* and pionts downward, rather than upward as on a non-O.D. A-833 4-speed.

The below is a pic of an O.D. A-833 installed in a van, so the angle of the shift rods is different, but the 3-4 lever (frontmost lever) can clearly be seen pinting downward, as it should be:



You may need to adjust the rod length after you flip the lever to the correct downward-pointing position.
