A833 assembly tricks

I get it ;) Although I have a lift this isn't something I want to do several times. Would it help to leak test the transmission on the bench? Fill it with warm/hot oil and see if it leaks from the shaft?
Or does it work to remove the reverse shaft if you turn the tail housing around (like you do when installing the counter shaft pin)?

Nope; that Idler-pin has to be clubed out the back with a BFG, thru the front opening , using a substantial offset drift. Or you can make a screw to press it out working off the inside front of the case.
The thing is, that O-ring is below the liquid level, lol. That said, they rarely leak.

Maybe but too much pressure will blow out the front seal or the reverse switch; plus you have to install a rear yoke and chain it up so you don't fire it thru the garage door, lol.
Having a lift; I would take the chance, and, I'll guess that it will be fine.
