BRYAN, I saw the ad on this one a couple weeks ago.i wonder what the internals look like and if any water etc. may have gotten in it.the brg retainer and input shaft splines and if you notice in pic it looks like the shaft has large pits in it.
looks like this has probably sat outside for many years but who knows?i guess it comes down to the internals,if their in good shape or if it's going to need a total overhaul.
i myself have never rebuilt a A833 4SPD and not to familiar what to look for as for as wear and tear otherthan wear and tear on the syncro's and looking for worn/broken gears/shafts.........
stillwater is about 45 mins.-1 hour away from me.i could call the dude and check it out if you want.
let me know.
Dave.............
