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

You’ll have issues with a “dirty” neutral...meaning when you move the shift lever left to right it’s not “clean”...it starts snagging on the gates of the shifter.

Ease into it. As long as neutral is clean enough that you can shift it without a bunch of effort you’re golden.

I kept the shift rods exactly as they came off before the transmission rebuild. It ended up taking (one turn at a time) four turns out on 1st-2nd to not have 2nd pop out of gear when decelerating and five turns out on 3rd-4th to not have 3rd grind on down shift. And neutral is still clean.

Cool stuff! Not only did I fix my 4 speed (with $500 in new parts) I now know the how and why on synchro function and shift rod adjustment. Man, I love this stuff!!:D
