ID help on 833

[MR4V]

Hi all
I have no idea on these as they weren't an option here in Oz.
I would like to fit this to an A Body, what is it & will it fit?
Thanks

need to repost pictures they are way to small. in particular the 1st, 3rd, and last.

How is this.

c-99539 is b and e body tail shaft from 70 up. I am assuming it is an 84 and likely an overdrive. Is there a part number on the front bearing retainer or can you measure the diameter of it?

Hard to tell from your pictures but, The shift arms look like they are positioned for a Overdrive 833.

the date and aluminum case is kind of an OD give away.

Fast fact: If it has two shifter pads, it's not an a-body drop-in trans.

As these were not an option here in OZ & I know nothing about them, what is an over drive is that 5 speed or 4 speed with a different ratio?

What will I need to fit it to an A body besides peddles, shifter, flywheel, shifter, trans, mount, trans cross memeber & clutch?

Thanks

it is a 4-speed - 3 speed with an overdrive. it is the same basic box as a 4 speed the 3-4 lever is flipped up so that it actually shifts into 4th before going into 3rd which is geared for OD. The trans pictured is a duel-pattern tail housing shifter. It is not designed for an A-body, but for a B/E-body. output shaft and Tail housing length and shifter mount location are different. if you want to go that route it will require some fabrication.
I have not used a B/E-body in an a-conversion before, but will say that an a-body OD trans is not uncommon and are affordable in comparison to a non-od 4-speed.
Someone will chime in here... To give you the low down. bump for you.

You'll need to fab up a bracket for the shifter to use that transmission in an A body.
