I want to know what brand and type trans fluid is recommended for my 67 A-833 transmission. It has been sitting for awhile and I though I'd change the fluid before I put back onto my engine to install in the car. Thanks in advance.
Ma Mopar shipped plenty of standard trans cars out with ATF when new. Great for cold weather use.A833 is a manual trans, not an automatic. I would use 80W90.
X2 It works well.
Pp 9 of the 1965 Plymouth factory service manual:Ma Mopar shipped plenty of standard trans cars out with ATF when new. Great for cold weather use.

How did that work out for your trans shifting? I see that Ranger 16 tried the Sta-Lube and then switched to the Penzoil Syncromesh.I just called Brewers transmission and asked them this very same question this summer. His answer is use Sta-Lube number SL-24239. It is 80/90 GL4. Very important to avoid GL5.
Brewers didn’t recommend ATF or 140 weight even though the service manual Has it in there.
I tied the factory recommended 140 and it was like I put glue in the trans. Went to Sta-Lube 80/90 and it was better, but still had gear clash 1st to 2nd. Then went to the Penzoil Sychromesh and it shifts like butter. I guess each trans may be a little different, but I'm sold on the stuff.

He's in Florida.
The gear oil he will get at the auto parts store is for rear ends.
Sta -Lube is preferred.
