I am trying to get used to this tight Hurst shifter, as I like mine loose as a goose, not very racy of me, but I just like wiggling the thing when I'm sitting at a red light
so after putting the cover back on, I now was able to use the shifter to shift between 1st and 2nd gear, its kind of hard when your transmission is resting on the tailgate of your truck not bolted up to anything, but you can do it now Reverse Gear - forget about it, I can shift it by holding the rod in my hand, but the only way I can get it into reverse with the shifter is by using a flat screw driver and wedge it under the control mechanism, more on that later so decided to pop the dust plate off from the belly of the control mechanism, check out how filthy it was |

so what did it like up in there?
gross, but what did we expect after 40 years of never vacuuming, lol second pic is after we hit it with a little brake cleaner and poked at it with a flat screw driver, it aint done being cleaned by any means, but at least ow we can begin to see what mechanisms lurk inside |

You can get the A833 3-OD truck shift rod and operating lever from Brewers for around $40.

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
Your best choice would be the OEM GM parts. Call your buddy in Bakersfield to see if he has the rod...
If you can't find em the Dodge truck pieces will probably work. The likelihood of the flat rectangular A833 3-OD lever being different is not high. |

Looks nice, good luck with it. My '86 stepper came with one originally, and below are a couple of photos. I believe the shifter, boot, and knob to be original. Only thing I changed was the speedo cable seal, otherwise original. Have changed and upgraded the engine a little over time. No power shifting, however, works great once in gear and getting on it (400 HP/400Ft-LBS @ 5600RPM). The overdrive is very nice, with 3.73 gears. I like the 3.73 gears for first too, you can go slow in first if needed.

Funny how the shift linkage on that transmission is extremely similar to the linkages on the NP203 transfer case. Even the NP203 transfer case got the "Hurst" embossed shift handle :D

Just wanted to add to a very informative thread.
I've gotten mine cleaned up and found some numbers I'm assuming that the stamped number are Vin numbers? Can someone advise? And the pinkish red numbers on the top of the tranny, anyone else have these or know what they are or mean? |

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
Gregski, when you pulled the side cover, did you replace the gasket with a gasket or did you use RTV?
I got her all cleaned up this weekend and Ill be cleaning the snot out of the shifter. Which is complete minus one shifter handle(knob). |

CAN YOU DO ME A SOLID, a huge favor, can you remove the side cover bolts one by one and tell me which one is that odd bolt out looking one, you will know when you see it, it is one of the 8 shorter ones, but it has a longer neck just below the head of the bolt before the threads start, I don't know which hole it came out of and it don't fit in right now, pretty please |

[quote=dragonball98312;7407171]Heres mine from an 81 c10 with a 250. Sadly no OEM shift ball
http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...1_181343-1.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...1_181409-1.jpg Great pics Dragon, but do you have a pic of the back side of your trans, the one opposite of the side with the side cover, there may be a VIN on that side by the tail shaft bolt holes |

These are the two bolts that I found with smaller washers. If that helps.

C = 2wd B = 1981 model year (A= 1980, B=81, C=82, etc) 1 = Oshawa Assembly plant code 134583 = sequential portion of VIN - Chevy nameplate 14030811 looks like a GM part number; 3260 might be a supplier unit number or lot information. I don't recognize the "219" on top of the case, or can't see enough to get some context. Normally that would be the "broadcast code" corresponding to the 8 digit part number (you can see the "DN" or "DH" in Gregski's photos) or the chassis build sequence number (which would be hand written).

Re: What can be said about the 4-speed New Process NV833 overdrive manual transmissio
Keith is right on with the partial VIN (required by law) and the part number.
The last 4 digits are Julian date of manufacture of the trans. 326 0 is 326th day of year '0', probably 1980 127 1 is 127th day of 1981 All GM trans' of that vintage are marked this way. Now I'll have to look at mine to see when it was made. I would expect Keiths' to have a high Julian '6' trans date. |
