Muncie M22 4 Speed Rock Crusher Gear Whine

A video with better audio of the nostalgic sound of a Muncie M22 (Rock Crusher) transmission at work in a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle.

[@ricardoflores5555]

Muncie M22s went into production in 1967 and were mainly designed for road racing rather than for drag racing or street use. The straighter angle cut on the gears made for the winning noise and also made them harder to shift. The larger diameter internal pins, shafts and fine spline input shaft made the M22 more durable than the M21 and M20. Swapping an M22 onto your Chevy required a change in clutch disc to a fine spline type and a larger diameter tail shaft yoke. This is a must, to fit. M21 and M20 can be swapped with no modifications required. Fact: A M20 was designed to shift smoother than a M22, was quieter, and had a more desirable 1rst gear ratio than the 'lazy' M22. Most cars with rear end gears ratios in the 3 series launched and revved better with a M20 than with a M22. The M22 required a stiffer rear gear ratio to make up for the lazy 2:20 gear ratio on the 1rst gear. All M22s came with a 2:20 first gear ratio. They were made and geared for road racing and definitely were stronger on withstanding more abuse and high torque and horsepower. While the winning of the gears was found to be appealing to some, it had no positive affect on shifting gears or low end performance. Such is the case on GM Hydro Turbo 400 automatic transmissions when compared to Turbo 350s.

Thankfully, that lovely whine lives on in Tremec's line of TKO transmissions. More ratios, overdrive, and way stronger box to boot. Bought mine 14 years ago and have put 10's of thousands of trouble-free miles on it. Of course, back then they where only $800 instead of $2200 like today!

It's very refreshing to see someone shifting that beautiful machine gently and letting the synchros do their thing. Power shifting is fun and all, and when you're on the track, it's expected. But many folks fail to realize how hard it is on synchros (and forks in extreme cases!) GORGEOUS '66, by the way.

[@relicrestorerman1209]

Thanks for the comment, Greg. I did a lot of racing on the street and drag strip in my younger years. I learned, that if you want to run hard, you'd better be able and willing to pay hard. I had just put this transmission together, so you are seeing it on its' maiden voyage with no miles on it. I have worked on these old cars all my life, and know it to be well worth it to be especially easy on it, as all of the parts are warming up and wearing in together. This transmission was an original 1968 model year M22. It sat under my workbench ever since I removed it from one of my cars in 1974, and had all of its' original factory gears and case intact. It just needed synchronizers and minor internals to be replaced and refurbished. It is very hard to find the original factory M22 gears and major parts nowadays for a reasonable price, so I am going to treat this transmission with respect. It may just be me, but I feel, that the whine of the original gears running in their original case sounds the best to me.

[@jamescon55]

ALL the 66-67 real deal "Super Sport" CHEVELLES were/had 396 BB motors in them from the GM factory. The 64-65 Chevelle SS cars were the ONLY 2 years that the actual Super Sport model would have 327 motors, and even some 64 SS CHEVELLES (Not completely sure about the 65 model) actually HAD the straight 6 motors as well! So you could order a 64 Chevelle AS an SS WITH the straight 6! Knew a kid that had one (and known of others) ... So, do you know IF/WAS your 67 Chevelle an original SS car and someone swapped out the original 396 in place of the 327? OR was it an actual 67 MALIBU (non SS) that originally came with the 327 SB 4 spd? (As THOSE were some screaming motors that COULD upset lotta BB Chevelles when setup/tuned right/OR even just straight outta the factory as well 😬) .... But yeah, ALL real deal Super Sport CHEVELLES had BB motors starting in 1966, WITH EXCEPTION for the super RARE 201 Z16 65 SS Chevelles that were fitted with the 396 BB. (that would become the norm for ALL SS CHEVELLES.) 😎👍

[@Peter-V_00]

@@jamescon55 It was indeed a real SS 396/4 speed, it had a hard life getting wrecked, instead of fixing it the original owner sold the car to someone for the engine, the car minus the engine was passed around in the local area until a guy I knew (Kenny) ended up with it. Kenny had a low mileage one owner 65 Impala SS 327/4 speed that was riddled with rust so bad it was sagging in the middle. Kenny took the engine and trans from the impala and put it in the Chevelle, he did some other work to the car to get it going but it had a problem with it burning up the ignition points. I ended up with the car in a trade deal with Kenny convince he was somehow putting the points in wrong but the problem persisted. I had kept some old "Motors" manuals and a bit of research of the wiring harness revealed a "resistor wire" was feeding the positive side of the coil, sure enough, the guys that pulled the motor ripped the wire out, Kenny, unaware of the wire being special did what any of us would do and splice a piece of normal wire in it's place to get his engine running. Thinking a bit on how to fix this issue I decided to use a "Ford" coil after my research showed an internal resistor, I had considered a Mopar ceramic type but they fail too often for my taste so Ford coil it was, never had a problem after as I took that car all over the northeast listing to that Muncie music and the rumble of a pair of Hush/Thrush mufflers.

Reminds me of a friend who took me for a ride when we had study hall in our senior year (1973) of HS in his 1970 Chevelle SS, we were allowed to leave school during study hall and the sounds of that magnificent powertrain were echoing off the stone wall along the street he did a few 0-90 mph runs. Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Loved it when he would let me ride w/ him during a race. Such a thrill for a six year old boy. For my eighth birthday I asked him if he would teach me how to rebuild an engine by helping him rebuild that 327 down in our basement, during that winter.

great video relicrestoreman! Thank you for sharing. This brought back memories for me of a 1966 Corvette I had in the early 70's in Kansas City. It had a 427 in it that had been built somewhat. I recall it having the ZL-1 camshaft added to the L-88 motor. That thing was a real beast. But the whine of the M-22 which was also in it, is what I remember and miss the most. It also had the Hurst shifter. For some reason the linkage had a tendency to pop out every now and then. I carried the necessary wrench's with me to crawl under and fix as necessary. I recall one time I was under the car fixing it off the side of the road and came out from under to be greeted by about 5 cop cars. I think they just wanted to admire the car. They checked my papers and sent me on my way. I seem to recall the 4 speed being great, 1st would go up to about 40, 2nd to about 80, 3rd up to about 120 and 4th up to around 160. I never took it that far but the car was a legend in Overland Park, Kansas. Sold it to get through Kansas University. Damn. I'd give about anything to have it back.

That’s beautiful brother. (Australia).

That’s not double clutching, that’s granny shifting!

[@ohboy3622]

He double clutched into first and rev matched his other downshifts. Btw, there’s no such thing as granny shifting.

[@Papa-o33963]

@Moon Pie yes u do..

[@Hole_Motorsports]

Oh boy granny shifting is just shifting slow

[@raycarter6225]

@port nut you will wear out your synchos sooner not using a clutch.take it from an ex transmission man and one who has had hot rods,drag cars,stock cars since 1967

[@davidcaskey4669]

He wasn't double clutching that's for sure. Look to me like I just spent big bucks on this transmission and I'm going to drive it right

If anyone wants to convert their M20 or 21 to an M22 they make an M22 wide ratio gear set brand new for about 400 bucks. Very easy to swap gears to these and not too expensive if you do it yourself. 100 bucks for a Muncie 4 speed rebuild kit, and 400 for the M22W gears. I did it a couple months ago. Most "pro" tool you need is a press to get off the mid plate and/or first gear bushing if I remember right. Other than that it's all hand assembly, fun and worth it

True Rockcrushers had a fine spline input shaft.

[@angeloparis7963]

@Eric Gallaher M22 fine spline close ratio rock crusher with Hurst competition plus shifter. Ultimate. God I miss mine.

Ill post a vid soon of my uncles 69 427 chevelle. It has an m21, so no whine, but damn does that car move. Its my project too, as im probably 100 hours deep on it. Just put in a new floor pan, body and suspension bushings. Lots of time on our backs with beers and loud ass metal. Good times.
