833 Rebuild - 2nd Gear Grinds Going Up and Bumps Out Decelerating

Get the spring on, it's going to change the adj. from where you thought that it should be. The Hurst should have the alignment hole. You can substitute a bolt for the pin tool you need.

My first Dodge specialty tool. HA!


The 1st/2nd gear rod was two turns too short. That cured the popping out of 2nd on deceleration. I still have to double clutch upshifting from 1st to 2nd, but not from 3rd to 2nd.

The reverse shift arm is 1/2" short to align up properly...

I think I found the throw out arm spring hole.


I'm surprised the hole is so far inside the bell housing boot. Looks like the spring will cut though the boot in time.
