A833 O/D gears in an A833 1:1 ?

I've seen GM rebuild kits advertised on those. I wondered if they have the same bell pattern. I think someone mentioned they have a GM universal pattern (EDIT: Yeah, what Russ said!), but I wonder what the tailhousings look like. If they are 12", that could open up more possabilities for a housing.

Yeah, that A833 (they're calling it an 855) with the 5th gear from Passon looks like magic. My rich older self wishes it was available. When I was in Vegas for one of the Mopars at the Strip deals with our shop, doing promo, I walked around and saw their booth. There have been a few posts on here recently about folks having a hard time even getting the advertised 18 spline close ratio 4 speed O/D from them. Someone paid up for a complete trans and got zilch for 6 months and got a refund, recently.

They want $1800 for the close ratio/ hemi ratio W O/D drop in 4spd gears, which does the same thing, except they use 1:1 main and countershafts that all the standard 833's use. Wicked idea, but at that price, I could have everything I needed and enough dough to take it and a carload of friends on a break in road trip.

Makes me wonder what the hell happened to hotrodding, these days? Unless you have a CNC or toilet paper rolls in your bathroom made from US currency, it's forgotten. Nobody eyeballs stuff anymore. I love seeing old magazine articles posted like the one above in that other thread that I dug around for.

Vast appreciation for those who experiment!
