You guys have any input of the durability or problems with an aluminum cased A833 overdrive? It would be used in my Valiant behind a 408?
No I believe its out of a later model truck, but the shifter mount is in the same location as an A-bodymoparchris said:Are you talking about the one the Passon sells?
Yep he's always a good helpsixgunrunner68 said:Call Jamie Passon, he'll be more than willing to answer any questions you may have. He's a good guy. He did my cast iron unit.

I know you will make a bazillion horsepower since you aren't confined by the concourse standards of the Snobbyrunner, so you may need something a little robust. There is always a G-force 5 speed at 5k. That would be my choice, I giggle at the thought of pulling the lever at 7500.
Thanks for the input. Upon further investigation the aluminum case is also a week point. So much for that idea :yesnod:6R9Runner said:IIRC the stock mainshaft diameter of an O/D 4-speed is smaller/weaker than a 1:1 4-spd in the 3-4 gear area, and the aluminum case will not hold up as well as cast iron to countershaft side loading (cluster gear). One solution is to install hardened bushings in the aluminum case. I had good experience with Passon also, and Brewer's fixed me up with some hardware in a hurry.
