    How much is a Hemi 18 spline A833 worth to swap for a 5spd
    « on: March 25, 2007 - 08:40:05 AM »
    I've got a Hemi A833 18 spline that someone wants to buy. This came out of a 74 challenger with a 440. The main case numbers are H4 C99129 PP8332615  0156   XS29L9R161774  Tail number C99539  Cover number C95664Z Front Bearing retainer C97621 Its in great shape but I don't know what is worth. Was thinking about selling it and putting in a tremec 5 spd. Maybe I should keep it and put in a GV overdrive unit, but not sure that is the way to go either.  Thanks in advance  :working: Don

    Some here said like 2k last week, but it could be hard selling at that price. 1k -1200 seems reasonable. I'll give ya 600 now :bigsmile:

    Not sure what happened to the other replies. They dissappeared. Sorry not enough. I'm probably just going to put it back in the challenger. I wanted to put in a 5 spd with over drive, but the cost is to high. They want 4200 for a complete setup. 2k and I would sell it. 1500 maybe but probably not enough.... :money:

    As a guage here is a rebuilt one on Ebay for $1500, I think there are a few on there between $1000-$1500 in various conditions

    If you do go aftermarket ODs, don't get a Gear Vendors. I haven't driven one in a manual but if the auto is anything to go by the lag/searching/honing between in/out of OD is ridiculous. Splitting gears is just a rumor and will be the same in the manual as auto - pointless. It would be very hard to drive a manual car with the OD, trust me. Basically impossible. Autos are hard enough and even then they're not perfect shifts, not what you think you're getting anyway. I was expecting seamless NHRA style shifts, nope. So, you'd be paying $2,200 for one extra gear (OD) if you get a GV. That's a lot of fluff for one gear.

    Keisler are expensive but most top of the industry products are, like tti etc  :2cents: I'd either keep it or get what you can for it and save for a Keisler. Didn't Mopar make a A833 OD?  I'm sure they did.............

    Yes they did make an overdrive. Not has strong has a 18 spline Hemi 4spd from what I understand. Still waiting on my Mcleod clutch. Been on back order for over a month. Keisler only offers a 23 spline no 18 spline input shafts. Probably going to stick with the Hemi 4 spd for now. 4200.00 is a bunch of money for 1 overdrive gear. :money:
