What to replace-A833 rebuild
I'm in the process of rebuilding my A833 4-speed. I took it apart because it was leaking oil and also made a "crunch" when shifting into or out of 3rd gear when the fluid was warm.
I am planning on ordering a proper rebuild kit from Brewer's Performance. In addition, I know I need at least the syncro stop rings but I wanted to know everyone's opinion on the wear that I found when I took it apart. If it matters this is a 1967 A-body transmission (23spline in/large output yoke).
1) This is the input shaft. It looks like a small section of the casting in front of where the bearing retaining snap ring sits is missing. The snap ring was still holding tight though. I'm thinking of letting this one slide as the rest of the input shaft looks fine.
2) This is one of the shift forks. there's some wear to make somewhat of a groove in the brass fork. I don't know if this is actually an issue or not, but the contact surface is not completely flat anymore.
3) This is the reverse idler and reverse transfer gear It looks like the engaging end is pretty worn. The gear worked and engaged alright, it had popped out on me a time or two. does this look bad?
4) This is the 3-4 syncro surface. The ring that slides over this moves easily and freely. Would this cause the gear crunch? Do I need to replace this entire syncro?
5) This is the countershaft. Are these blemishes a problem? Countershafts are inexpensive so I really don't mind replacing this.
Thanks for any help/advice!
