What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmission?

As noted before, there are several shifters for GM. My 2wd and 4wd shifters are different, the 4wd appears to be heavier built and positioned slightly to the left when compared to the 2wd one, not sure if it's 4wd or a model year thing as it is earlier (mech bell while the 2wd is hydro belll).
Yes, the shifter itself can be rebuilt with Hurst parts or reconditioned by Hurst. No, the linkage can't be bought (remeber my earlier comment about getting the shifter? Turns out you need the shifter and all its rods as a package). The rods do not appear to directly interchange between the variations of shifters (look at the offsets). No, the early Chrysler parts do not work as is. I have heard that the Dodge truck shifter wil work although not in the exact same location, and again needs the rods to match the shifter. I have also heard that the early Chrysler shifter, possibly still available from Hurst, can be modded to work.

I see you are looking for one of the rods. Can you detail exactly which of the shfters you have? Althouugh i doubt you can get a rod by itself, some clever person might be able to send you the pattern for the rod and/or make one for you.

Thank you for your help and advice. Can you tell us what year is your 2WD and what year is your 4WD, its not clear to me from your signature and I don't want to assume wrong.

the NOS knob above appears "shiny" which is not how I recall them being.

Well I did have the old ball that was cracked and weather-worn and lost it's sheen. Also I have seen a photo showing this shiny style shift ball (first pic not my truck).
But the one you put together with the "grip" looks great too and the price is right!

Any interest in letting the old one go?

Interesting; I wonder if it is a model year difference, or - if I just blew it and thought my "shiny" shift ball was worn out.

I didn't keep it so I can't reconfirm at this point.

No clue. both were CL acqusitions. Base on the hydro bell the 2wd is a later one. i want to say the 4wd is 83. Biggest differences are case (iron 4wd, aluminum 2wd), shifter (heavier rods and different positiono on 4wd) and output shaft (TH400 style shorter shaft on 4wd vs tail housing, longer shaft and TH350 splines on 2wd).

If I get a chance I'll seeif they have tags still. They are in a shed with no lights so have to have a bright day and some ambition to get to them.
