you ansered half of your own question yourself. you used synthetic to start with, had problems. switched to ATF, no probs. went to another synt and have probs again.. DUH...
a few years ago I rebuilt 2 OD 833s for a friends 2 Feather Dusters. 1 had ATF put in it. somebody told him to use Mobil 1 synt in the second, it was almost impossible to shift when cold. changed to to ATF, no more problems.
evidently the synt doesnt let the syncro rings float and thats where the grinding comes from.
change bact to ATF, maybe that will help. if not the syncro rings are worn and need replaced
hows the fluid level? is it low?
I am truckless..

has gotten really tough and it won't go into reverse with out some gear grinding.
grinding going into reverse is some kind of clutch disengagement issue and NOT a fluid issue since reverse is non-synchronized. Check the air gap between the clutch disc and flywheel with the clutch pedal to the floor and go from there. It should have a .040-.050" gap.

Sure is. I run it in both of my A-833s.

Just bought some Mobile1 in the lighter weight. Was told Castrol Syntorque was good. They didn't sell it locally. My Prothane mount got here yesterday from www.magnumhp.com in she goes tonight!

Well I dropped the inspection cover and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. There was adequate travel and the disk spun freely when the pedal was on the floor. I had re-gasketed the tranny over the winter because of some leaks around the shift shafts and speedo adapter and there was no signs of leaking but I checked the fluid anyway and it was right up there. I took it for a drive and it was shifting like it had before. When I got back and went to back the car into the garage it was balking about going into reverse again. Then all of a sudden something popped and the car lurched. I though the linkage had come off but everthing was in place and moving but there is no resistance in the pedal. I just ordered a new clutch and it will be clutch replacement time this week!
