Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

unfortunately that side cover belonged to another customer, but Larry disappeared for a few minutes and reappeared with another side cover, it looked grungy but it too had the pin going all the way through, he said "FIFTY BUCKS"

I said "FOURTY"

He said "FOURTY FIVE"

I said "FOURTY PALEAZE"

He said "DEAL"

he was happy, and I was thrilled!!!

the mystery of the stupid design GM pin was solved!!!

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

see how on mine (the cleaner cover) there is no pin sticking out on the bottom below the top pin

and now see how on the corrected / fixed / retrofitted cover (the dirtier one) there is a pin with a snip on washer clipping it through the side cover and holding it in place, the way God intended

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

and of course once you know the part number you can Google it and we find that a good cover (with the pin sticking out) is for sale on eBay right now for $135 bucks plus another $25 for shipping!!! yaykes The Greg done good gettin' his for $40

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Well damn.......... win for Greg but not for us with the hole less covers........

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

maybe not, maybe the scissor pin from the Muncie 4 Speed will work, here's one listed on eBay for $10 bucks, here's what it looks like, sorry don't know the diameter or length

and here's what their side cover looks like

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

better yet, the Mopar A833 Overdrive version of this transmission is way more popular than our GM one and guess what it uses the exact same side cover part number and all, C-13550-2 (well the new and improved side cover that is, with the pin hole, like we want)

here's a pic

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Is there any reason not to just bore the hole the rest of the way through the older cover on a milling machine or good tight drillpress?

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Your right, probably the easiest way to go.....

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Some oil hardening tool steel and a small lathe like my 7x14 little green monster would come in handy here. There's really not much to that pin. The little Chicom lathes are too expensive now for what they are. Mine was just under $300 in 2000 and after some cleanup and upgrades like the 14" bed it's been a good little machine. Little is the operative word... but pins and bushings fall right into its' tiny work envelope. I can stuff it under the bench after a spraying the unpainted parts with Rustlick 631 on a shelf with an oiled canvas cover. The 16x42 South Bend ain't so portable and I don't like making small pieces on it even using a 3" chuck or collets

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

I'm pretty sure that weld on the shifter was not factory, and was added later.

I am fixing to install a cast iron version of one of the A833 transmission in my truck and there is no weld on either one of the two shifters I have. I was originally thinking the shifter was slipped in and then squeezed shut by a pressing operation, but now after seeing the information you posted, I'm thinking it is removable.

________________________________

Another thing to consider if you need a driveshaft. This A833 transmission uses the same 27 spline yoke as a Turbo 350/700R4 (it also uses the same tail-shaft bushing, which is easy to replace... My transmission shop installed mine for $3.00, which included the bushing). I haven't checked this out yet, but there is a chance that the transmission, when bolted to the clutch housing, might have the same length as either one of these two transmissions. If it does, we'll know what truck to look for at the nearest Pick&Pull.

Unless I'm missing your point I think I already addressed this.

I have one of these transmissions for sale if anyone is interested. 1986 Chevy half ton.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

hydraulic or mechanical clutch?

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

I saw one of these transmissions in a 4wd diesel back in the eighties.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

A hundred bucks or so one way or another, who cares? If it were something sold on Amazon I could see being miffed at not getting a GREAT price, but these things aren't growing on trees still and most importantly - you have it at your home now.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

It should be a hydraulic if it's an 86. I also have a set up complete hydraulic out of an 87 for sale. It's the harder to find 4 x 4 version though. It's even cast-iron.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Hydraulic. It also will come with the Hurst shifter and all things in the picture.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

very nice, how about the transmission crossmember, I ask because I have yet to see the one for that specific application

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Thought this was very interesting when i pulled the pedal assy out of the 87 i got my set up from.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

some numbers for you after my swap

70 MPH at 2000 RPM

75 MPH at 2250 RPM

I am loving this new 833 overdrive transmission, now I have 4 useable gears not just 3

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Those cruise RPM's are perfect for my taste.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

These turn a half ton truck into a pretty civilized cruiser and they'll put up with some towing.
Something a lot of folks overlook is that you can ship bulky things on Greyhound for less than the courier services you just have to package them carefully. I've shipped doors and trunk lids on Greyhound after packaging them.
With a transmission or transfer case you need to make sure the oil is drained thoroughly and the box is reinforced enough that it doesn't poke through so you don't get filth on someone elses stuff.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

I saw this at a pick-n-pull today. I was wondering if it would be worth getting to save it from the crusher? The side cover is loose, so I suspect it has issues. It is from a 4x4 truck. The shifter is there also.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

Depends how much they want, if it was complete I would say get it, if it had the shifter and the linkage and tailshaft

See if it has the hydraulic clutch bell housing if so get the bell and the clutch all of it and I'll buy it off of you ha ha

Its a great trsnsmission I love my 2WD

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
 

That's weird I thought I posted a picture of the transmission on the previous post. The trans and shifter could probably be had for $150 or less.
