Covering identification, parts selection, and performance upgrades, it empowers enthusiasts to maintain originality while boosting power and reliability for modern high-performance builds. ## Description The Muncie 4-speeds (M20, M21, and M22) are some of the most popular manual transmissions ever made and continue to be incredibly popular. The Muncie was the top high-performance manual transmission General Motors offered in its muscle cars of the 1960s and early 1970s. It was installed in the Camaro, Chevelle, Buick GS, Pontiac GTO, Olds Cutlass, and many other classic cars. Many owners want to retain the original transmission in their classic cars to maintain their value. Transmission expert and veteran author Paul Cangialosi has created an indispensable reference to Muncie 4-speeds that guides you through each crucial stage of the rebuild process. Comprehensive ID information is provided, so you can positively identify the cases, shafts, and related parts. It discusses available models, parts options, and gearbox cases. Most important, it shows how to completely disassemble the gearbox, identify wear and damage, select the best parts, and complete the rebuild. It also explains how to choose the ideal gear ratio for a particular application. Various high-performance and racing setups are also shown, including essential modifications, gun drilling the shafts, cutting down the gears to remove weight, and achieving race-specific clearances. Muncie 4-speeds need rebuilding after many miles of service and extreme use. In addition, when a muscle car owner builds a high-performance engine that far exceeds stock horsepower, a stronger high-performance transmission must be built to accommodate this torque and horsepower increase. No other book goes into this much detail on the identification of the Muncie 4-speed, available parts, selection of gear ratios, and the rebuild process.

Extremely well written how to book.. *by N***N on January 12, 2015* This without a doubt the best book on all things Muncie related. I have dozens of so called "how to" books that are usually only a bunch of facts thrown together which leave you to try and piece it all together. This book quite well written so that even a modestly skilled mechanic can get a grip on one of the most complicated tasks they may ever have to do. I had some problems with my M20 recently so I started to try and get some experienced info on the internet with very little help. Mostly incorrect and or bad info is out there and this book has already answered a couple of major questions on what parts to order. In my case just because what parts came out of the transmission aren't necessarily right parts in the first place. Earlier replacement parts were put in that were incorrect. I had a non thrust loaded max capacity front input bearing in my M20. The cage had separated which was chewed up and all the balls were loose and even the inner and outer race were cracked. I almost ordered and put in the same non-thrust loaded bearing that was incorrectly put in. This book explained the differences with the styles of bearings and which ones to use for your type of Muncie. The book not only covers how to rebuild and all the correct part # it also has nice section on the history of the Muncie transmission. All the part stampings on the various years so you can figure out what type/year you might have. And oh yeah, one more thing. It even has a great section on how to break down, clean and rebuild your Hurst shifter. I almost never write reviews but this book and guy deserves the good credit here. Can't thank you enough Paul for this great book!!
