Best fluid for A833 4 speed with Passon OD gear set ?
I’d say Bud-light…. But I think I’m wrong.
I respect your opinion, Rusty; but not quite right. It's mentioned, but not the first choice- and only for "extremely cold climates".The first choice in the service manual is Dexron ATF.
That's why I recommended calling Passon. I'm unfamiliar with all the metals he uses. As for ATF, I run it in my A903 and it almost shifts itself. That's from 64 though.I respect your opinion, Rusty; but not quite right. It's mentioned, but not the first choice- and only for "extremely cold climates".
Right from the four speed section of the '68 FSM:

But people will run what they want to run, it's all fine with me.
As far as synthetics go, I don't like them in the 833s though- they tend to weep past the side gasket (which you DON'T want to run sealer on). But that's all factory spec- if you want to maintain any kind of warranty coverage, find out and stick with what Passon recommends- and get it in writing.
Sta lube 85-90 gl4 when I changed the lube in my A833 4 speed this is what I read on here and what Brewers recommended it works well for meBest fluid for A833 4 speed with Passon OD gear set ?
