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

Glad you solved the problem. Wanted to share this 833 4speed story but not until your problem was solved.
Had a 4speed 68 dart that worked fine, then it started not going into 2nd above 4000. Normal cruising it was fine. I pulled it and looked it over and couldn't see anything. Put it back in the car with no change. Pulled it again, this tore it all the way down, found nothing, put it together and back in and still didn't work. This was 40+ years ago when I thought you could get lucky and just by taking it apart and putting it back magic would fix it. I've lost that belief. Tore it apart again and just happened to pull on the brass syncro ring and it spread. It was split thru in one spot and above 4000 it would open up enough not to fit as it should.

Thank's. I had to chuckle about your comment.... "get lucky and just by taking it apart and putting it back magic would fix it".....It took 6 fruitless tries, but got her done. Thanks to everyone on board or I'd still be knocking my head up agaisnt the wall.

Thanks for the offer. Are you Herb's son? I just built a motor using Herb's new set of spare 440 .060" over Venolia piston's from his 69 Bee. I plan on asking Herb to signature the box at this year's Mopars in the Park in MN.
