How to Rebuild a Muncie 4 Speed Synchronizer Basics

Early and late Muncie Synchro Rings explained. Its confusing to know what hubs and synchro rings work together.

[@manstersr]

Thanks for sharing the video. RIP Jeff Beck, condolences to Sandra, Jeff's family and friends.

[@rockhard4life338]

Fantastic! Good to know there are others with the hotrod, guitar player, drummer, American Graffiti chromosome. Have always enjoyed Jeff's gigs, and hotrod interviews. This was a real treat. Thank you for taking the time to film your trip. Your wisdom is awesome Paul. Great stuff!

[@GearBoxVideo]

+RockHard4Life Thanks a bunch!

[@jeffbecker8716]

minor mistake on the '32 - it should not have a windshield wiper.

[@jims2286]

I Love your videos they answer alot of questions that most people don't understand and don't rebuild it the right way!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@jacquelinechellis4036]

Jeff Beck likes the same vettes i like. Never stopped improving at his unique brilliant virtuoso guitar music. RIP Jeff the best yardbird guitarist.

[@wernerdanler2742]

OMG! That was Jeff Beck the guitarist? I have allways loved his music and used to have several of his albums. What an excuse to go to Britain just to deliver a few trany parts. I used to meet a few celebs when I lived in Hollywood but only on a one time basis. He seems to love his old American rods. And two 63 split window vets. Cool man.

[@scottvantassel2212]

wow,, i came here for muncie info,, and got a treat,, Jeff Beck. you're a lucky man to have had a relationship with such a legend,, what a down to earth dude. thanks for this video.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Going to miss him... Such a great friend

[@susankirkland3852]

Wow, the excitement builds as you are taking your trip to deliver …. who to I wonder?!!!!! Who else? Jeff Beck. Brilliant 🤩

[@melodymakermark]

Been watching everything Beck the past couple of days, wether I’ve already seen it or not. I’ll be seeing this legend live on stage in 3 days. Stoked.

[@killashizilla3830]

Wow. What a badass video! Thank you for sharing. RIP Mr Beck!!

[@davesoldate2917]

Love all your videos Paul but this one sure had a bonus! My M21 is still working great thanks to your parts and advice!! Thanks for all your help!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@TheMrmmkkpro]

I'm watching this February 20 , 2023 , great video but sad. RIP Jeff. The one thing we all have in common. Great work. Very interesting. 👍🙏

[@daisymouri2302]

Holy Shit! It really is El Becko!!! You are the coolest guy on You Tube!! I'm gonna have to learn about cars!!!

[@TheEZGZ]

Thanks Paul, Even though I don't plan on repairing Muncies I ordered your book because I know I can apply the knowledge.

[@GearBoxVideo]

I appreciate your support

[@cammer68oliver2]

Back when I was in high school in the late 90s I was taking drafting classes and the teacher used to be an engineer for GM. Jim Banks was his name. He helped to develop the Muncie 4 speeds. For his efforts GM built him a 67 impala I believe he said it was. With a 427 BBC between the fenders. He was there when the first 454 fired up on the dyno. He said they ran it till it grenaded. The harmonic balancer flew off and wedged into the wall of the dyno cell! Man he had some really freakin cool stories to tell!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Very cool

[@KingCobra1968]

Paul, that is awesome information! Thank you!

[@GearBoxVideo]

+gsantander100 thanks a bunch,

[@chivoberrinches400]

Rammstein, muncie 4 speed, synchros, a trip to england, Jeff Beck, Hot rods... this video has everything!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks for this.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks for watching!

[@JBAutomotive794]

I already knew you were the man, but chilling with beck?!? dammit dude, killing it!

[@dizzolve]

This vid needs more thumbs up. Thanks for sharing a few moments with a legend. What a trip ehh?

[@dirtbagdf]

Love those split window Vetts!

[@unclequack5445]

Paul, this explains the "Jeff Beck" 8 track tape I seen in your tool box.

[@wernerdanler2742]

I saw that to and meant to ask him about it but never did.

[@charlesprice1815]

Cool vid, I knew Jeff Beck was a car guy , but not a hands on car guy Awesome Nice Collection He Has !!!!!!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Charles Price He really does all his own work. An Amazing talent.

[@jeffthelyon]

GearBoxVideo That was fantastic. Loved his other car vids too.

[@KingCobra1968]

Wow, Jeff Beck, musical artist AND car enthusiast! He even knows some of the mechanical basics of the transmission! Impressed. Paul, how did you come about to know him?

[@GearBoxVideo]

+gsantander100 He needed parts like everyone else and liked my KZbin videos. You never know who is watching.

[@SSSteve1961]

Lucky Muncie guru. I wish I knew enough about Muncie transmissions, that the late, GREAT Geoffrey Arnold Beck would have invited me by his garage for advice.

[@TwoWheelRocco]

Very Cool....Great Video...Thank you!!

[@OverTaxed42Long]

The first glimpse of who's shop it was I was thinking, man that looks like Jeff Beck. Five minutes or so later you flash on screen it's Jeff Beck's hot rod shop. Too cool. I would have hand delivered the parts too. Not finished the video yet so maybe the end will have a little guitar playing live from this delivery 😉

[@susankirkland3852]

Fabulous ❤Such a find…. Thanks for posting up.

[@AutoBikeTruck]

Like Your Video Kick Ass i New What Your Talking About in This Video i Have Seen People Do That Same Thing and i Had To Make it Right Love Your Videos Damn Thats Jeff Beck Very Cool

[@GearBoxVideo]

+Auto BikeTruck Thanks. Please share.

[@cdeprima1209]

Great video, good job; have you seen the 4x4 version of those? Have you done a video on 4x4 adapted model?

[@GearBoxVideo]

Yes, search my channel

[@MudderFukker-m6g]

Third gear synchro on 4 speed I'm rebuilding was cracked exactly where you indicated.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Super video. Great info. Great autos. Great stuff.

[@GearBoxVideo]

+Mario Dalla Riva Thanks. Please share it!

[@MarioDallaRiva]

+GearBoxVideo Already done, Paul!

[@4speedlover684]

C👀L video !! Sending ❤️ from Tennessee!✌️

[@jeffbecker8716]

Obviously gotta give this a thumbs up! Way cool.

[@GearBoxVideo]

+Jeff Becker Thanks!

[@SuperDreamer64]

Nice video... learn something every day.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@racer-4x]

was going to ask who the picture in your shop was of, i think i know now

[@BenSchoenberger-g6x]

Outstanding! Jeff Beck!

[@davidcolgan2420]

Love all the videos, I ran into a 3 speed overdrive transmission out of a 80;s Chevy Van. It has the NV logo on the side so I think it is a A833. It appears to have been apart due to the sealant around the side cover. Are these built like a Muncie? It has a Hurst shifter with a really long shifter handle. Any thing I should look for? Weak areas? Thanks so much.

[@GearBoxVideo]

These are NP440 OD units based on the A833 Mopar design, A good unit, but in no means a performance transmission.

[@davidcolgan2420]

I understand just going in my 67 Chevy pickup. Thanks

[@johnhousey1897]

very cool tour, thanks

[@partymotorsport]

that is too cool, i didnt know Jeff is a car guy

[@GearBoxVideo]

+kerrcher Big time!

[@budgaugh66]

Couldn't help but notice the stack of guitar amp heads.. Ever jam out with Beck?

[@GearBoxVideo]

I'm actually a drummer. Just have alot of gear from studios and no I've never played with him.

[@budgaugh66]

Still, pretty damn cool to personally deliver parts to a rock legend, and then talk cars with him like hes an old buddy.

[@paulseabrook8179]

Any problems getting that stuff through customs?

[@GearBoxVideo]

Leaving... just an inspection.... Arriving.... nothing

[@jmh8743]

very good, excellent. my best.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks

[@fabiocastrodeavila8475]

Amazing

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks!

[@stuartcookie133]

So thats where all the 63 Corvettes went....England! Who knew.

[@wernerdanler2742]

I've never seen two in one place! Rare to see even one.

[@jeffreyalexander7504]

It's not enough that I'm the greatest rock guitarist....I need a garage full of cool American hotrods! I get a little bored with the music thing...

[@GearBoxVideo]

But then again you walk into the house and there are Marshalls and Fenders everywhere!

[@green323turbo]

Your a mechanic and have a problem with silicone ... Huh ?

[@GearBoxVideo]

A big problem.... stuff is old school now.

[@green323turbo]

Its used everywhere.

[@GearBoxVideo]

green323turbo agreed, but used in this video incorrectly. Aneurobic sealers are a much better alternative. I haven't used RTV silicone in 10 years. Neither does any transmission manufacturer. It should never be used in place of gaskets especially when gaskets are integral in maintaining clearances.

[@green323turbo]

Yes too much is bad. Better just a dab on your finger and smear a thin layer. But its still very useful for many transmission and engine jobs. .
