The Muncie Tapes - Part 2 - How to Assemble and Rebuild a Muncie 4 Speed Transmission

[@ZAMsChannel]

I will perhaps never be in the position of rebuilding a car gearbox. But I always watch your videos because they are so educative. Thanks for that.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks

[@Roy_Godiksen]

All this just proves the value of having professionals work on your performance vehicles. Great video💖💖👏🏻👏🏻

[@unclequack5445]

Paul your the best builder and your prep work shows it.

[@akfarmboy49]

I'll use your gear prep on my other trans projects, I like the polishing bore idea best. deburring , thank you

[@GearBoxVideo]

That's the idea of the video. The prep can be used with any transmission build.

[@randallorr3730]

Paul these Muncie assembly videos are absolutely over the top. They are so well done. Your attention to detail is amazing and inspiring. I work primarily on automatics. I really do not do a lot with manuals so yes, I am learning a lot. My mentor always taught me that the devil is in the details. If you don't pay attention to the details they can bite you in the end. I have both of your books and I love them. When I am just kicking back I like to grab one of them and just start reading. I think I have watched the tare down video on the Doug Nash overdrive probably a dozen times. I would love to see a re-assembly video on that some day. Maybe in the future? Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this craft. It is so rare.

[@SvcGlobal]

Another great mechanical lesson, thank you Paul.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Very welcome

[@RustyChapman]

Well Done Paul, Thanks for showing this ol' Mopar Gearhead a thing or 2 about rebuilding a gearbox.

[@TargaWheels]

Thanks for the tips on gear prep and what to watch for. 👍

[@leahdepippo6235]

Thank you so much for your knowledge and sharing it with the younger generation. We need people like you to keep this hobby going.

[@t5montecarlo]

Excellent tips, Paul. I once had a new T5 5th gear that would not grab the synchro ring; it would grind. You suggested to me to scuff the cone. I disassembled, scuffed the cone, and reassembled, and then it was perfect. I thank you again for that advice that I haven't forgotten.

[@clintonburnett1395]

That rubber band trick is fine engineering!

[@rocker81957]

I've just started watching your tapes , your attention to detail is amazing

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks.

[@Bigskyguy56]

Thanks Paul. As always, GREAT content , explained in a no nonsense & direct manner. A pleasure to watch a TRUE Craftsman at work. Stay Real.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pzeitham]

I can't wait for Part 3. This video set came at a perfect time since my main input shaft bearing blew up last week.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks for watching and your support.

[@robertgregilovich2229]

Your attention to detail is amazing. Always great videos.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Great video, Paul. These videos are very inspiring and full of great tips. We've always known about engine blueprinting, but your videos are really all about transmission blueprinting. Looking forward to the next chapter.

[@jfair7050]

You're a legend! Thanks for doing these lessons! Very well explained and you clearly know your stuff. After watching the first 2, I would never buy a complete or "rebuilt" Muncie. I will do one myself, with your help. All the best to you!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it

[@jtdear44]

Very interesting videos, sir! Thank you for doing them! My dad passed and i inherited his camaro-plus a few Muncies! It’s time to learn all i can! Once again, thank you for doing this for all of us!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Yes, learn and keep that car going

[@jtdear44]

@@GearBoxVideo yessir!

[@GMGarage2010]

Great stuff Paul. I like how many of your tips & techniques could apply to any transmission rebuild. Keep 'em coming!

[@Wofski]

Great video!!! Extremely detailed and very well explained!!! Awesome work!!!!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thank you

[@christopherohara9421]

I changed my bearing retainer I really appreciate your tips made it very easy for me I did need the thicker gasket thank you so much

[@robertbaisagale1685]

Lifetime experience...just awesome mate!

[@ianmuggeridge]

The detail with the gears and syncros is where the knowledge and experience is. Anything else is a nut, bolt, spanner and hammer rebuild....it might work....it might be ok, Paul clearly doesn't light " might". Thanks.

[@darrinfravel5839]

I have enjoyed your tapes. Thank you for sharing. As soon as I’m ready for my rock crusher rebuild, I’ll get some parts from you.

[@johnmilner7603]

Good stuff Paul, keep it up.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks, will do!

[@MyWolffy]

Amazing detail. I love the tips and tricks and pure educational you give!!! I look forward to every video you put out this helps out so much just in basic diagnosing let’s me know a gear set I have will prob be scrapped was ran low on oil and gears looked pretty bad like you shown don’t want any bad gear noise.

[@GearBoxVideo]

You are so welcome!

[@brianmacneil-nc2wt]

very professional, attention to detail second to none, enjoying your videos and knowledge very much. i would love to get some parts from you. i would like a m22 for my car.

[@jimbobben529]

Hello Paul, I have been searching for information about the "Muncie" Doug Nash 4 + 3 that is in my 1986 pace car. Then I found you and then your videos "The Muncie Tapes". Thank you so much. If I can figure out some way to remove my transmission at home I just might put be able to use all of your valuable information. I have most of the tools and I would rather do the job myself. Like everyone else, I have plenty of time on my hands.

[@GearBoxVideo]

I have a video on the 4+3. It's a heavy unit. The hardest part is getting the beam free.

More coming

[@63mrl]

Thank you, Paul.

[@micat.689]

Well I guess this is a real and a great knowledge transfer. We should be grateful about what you're doing there. It's some techniques but more than this it's your own experience, gathered for years... I've seen part 1 now 2 and looking forward to seeing part 3. What I'm concerned about is that some of the parts you're dealing with in the video seem to be out of stock in your web site. Will it be permanently or will get some stock in soon ? Anyhow, i wish I was in the US to give you my M20 to rebuilt ! You're the guy Paul, you're the guy ! Thank for all this pedagogic work. Michael

[@GearBoxVideo]

Parts come and go. The Covid thing has created slow downs and some complete stops in industrial work places. You should be aware of this by now. Parts are starting to come in. My suggestion is that you use the Notify Me button on anything you are looking for. I don't list items I discontinue. It's amazing because I've been on Amazon and NewEgg and there are many items that are not in stock yet I'm not concerned and you shouldn't be either. Again, if it is something I am not going to carry or discontinue it is gone from my site. We have seen 60 to 90 day lead times on new parts orders. It's a global issue which I hope you are also aware of.

[@vdog4799]

I saw you first on ericthecarguy years ago. I don't do transmissions yet but I sure like your videos. Gives me a better understanding of what is going on. Your videos are awsome quality! Thanks for making them😁. May i ask ,does transmission fluid need to be changed every 30,000 miles or 2 years like the haynes manual says? .

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks. Yes every 30 k is good

[@hddm3]

Paul you are so Awsome man

[@patrickgarcia8687]

Thanks guy! Really good stuff! One quick question, I bought a case 325 pretty cheap from evil bay, it has a broken ear on it! My question is should I have it repaired or replace the case? Thanks

[@GearBoxVideo]

There are plenty of good used cases. These are not worth repairing

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!! Great video, as usual... :-)

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks again!

[@ulis_garage]

Thanks for the videos! Can hardly wait for part 3! Just ordered a bunch of stuff yesterday. Quick question; I picked up some Permatex 51813 as recommended in a different video. The package says to use a Surface Prep activator before using. Is this really necessary?

[@GearBoxVideo]

Nope

[@ulis_garage]

@@GearBoxVideo thanks for the reply!

[@lewwoodthing]

Great video Paul. Is grinding the oil groove making the gear weak? The hardening treatment is only .030

[@GearBoxVideo]

No not at all . Think it thru. Where is the load and what would you think could possibly happen? Doing it for 40 years and if anything if you decide not to, then why deal with seized gears on shafts?

[@danielkey929]

This is so damn cool......

[@mgleason2542]

Is it possible to replace the input shaft bearing without a complete disassembly? Also if the input shaft is wobbly is it most like the input bearing or something else?

[@GearBoxVideo]

They normally do have play

[@lawrencetaylor5993]

Any idea when you might be building auto gear m22 units for sale. Cheers

[@GearBoxVideo]

I'm taking a break from building. The parts from Italy seem to be delayed as well as I'm tired of some of the quality issues that have come up.

[@patrickgarcia8687]

Ok thx!

[@ernesttrujillo7336]

My m21 wont shift into first gear wit the shifter. If i get under the car i could asist it and it catches. Does it sound like my first gear i s bad to you?

No. Sounds like it may be a shifter issue. Best to contact me for support issues after 7:30 pm weekdays m All my contact info is in video descriptions

[@johnsweda2999]

what about spraying all your Gears rings with a dry PTFE silicone lubricant before assembly

[@GearBoxVideo]

Because that stuff does not desolve in the gear oil and can cause shifting issues.

[@johnsweda2999]

@@GearBoxVideo yes I know it doesn't dissolve but should it just stick to the metal supposed to be resistant to oil when it's dry would there be any issue? Why does it cause shifting problems. Does it bead up go lumpy. Now I'm more curious!
