I definitly think it is bearing related. I put it up on stands and went through the gears with no problem regardless of the rpm. Problem only appears under load 1-3rd. It's coming out tonight, time to give it a good once over so it's ready for the fall. Thanks to every one who answered...

What I don't get is that the tempo does not change. I would think the knock or rap would speed up or slow down with the rev of the engine or speed of the car, it does not. It only gets louder when I step on the throttle. Everything in the tranny should spin at different rates and at a higher...

Rod Thanks for the offer. It's nice to know people are willing to help out. I am probably going to pull the unit and look inside. I know Brewers has a rebuild kit which covers all the seals and bearings I might need. I thought it might be pressure on the input shaft due to alignment...

Thanks for responding I should have opened it up before installing it. Time was tight and I hoped for the best. This was a full conversion from auto to standard and I wanted to drive the car this summer. I may pull the tranny and take a look inside. I am just trying to avoid doing any...

I don't know if this is the same thing I ran into, but I rebuilt my shifter and put it toghter backwards by mistake. I have the banyon style shifter with the sharp bend in it and reverse was working oposite of what it was supposed to. I had placed the internals in backwards in the body of the...

help I recently installed an 833 4 speed in my 69 cuda, I believe it is out of a 67 car. The tranny raps / knocks in 1rst, 2nd, and 3rd gear but is fine in fourth. The rap does not change tempo as I speed up, but does get louder as I add more throttle / torque. I have tried to realign the...
