S.O.S. 833 pops out of 3rd without load.

[Eric Merryfield]

Jerry, I have a hurst vertigate that shifts awsome, don't think it will pop out of third on you....don't know about downshifting one of these.....if you want me ship it up to you for free testing, just PM or call me on my cell.

Got rid of the Lakewood bellhousing, tried the wider brass vs steel shifter forks with different cover plates, installed a brand new shifter, put the older, thicker syncro's in and gained .015" and still had the same problem. Bearing's are fine.

Found out the new expansion rings we were sent were the wrong ones and caused the dog keys to be cocked. Thought the problem was solved. Wrong!

Also tried a new slider, compliments of Brewer, and still have the same problem.

From our local 833 expert's that have stopped by the shop to verify the trans was assembled correctly, all the way to asking Arlan Vandkee's advise, the dog gone transmission is still kicking out of 3rd.

Every part in this transmission is brand spanking new with the exception of the cover plate (tried 3) and tail shaft.
