Hi
i have a big trouble .
I am currently restoring my Muncie 21, now it is completly teared apart, i ended yesterday. ANd i noticed my 3rd & 4th Speed Clutch Sliding Sleeve, and main drive gear are really worn. Badly worn. While on the car, the problem i had was grinding when shifting into 4° i though because of a worn syncro. and also the other 3 gears and the other Speed Clutch Sliding Sleeve are worn. not as much but still.
What do i do now??
I feel like the restoration kit i have isn't enough to restore that Muncie to new condition. I 've been told it is even worthless i rebuilt it without changing at least my 3rd & 4th Speed Clutch Sliding Sleeve and main drive gear as that was the problem when riding.

Please tell me . I feel frustrated. I wasn't planned to buy a new tranny and i feel like it 'd cost a lot to buy new gears. 100$ per gear + 160 for the main gear, = ...

You might try Drive Train Specialists.

There are others out there, look in the advertiser's section of Hot Rod & Car Craft magazines.

I would suggest in buying the complete synchro assemblies, slider, hub, and bulk rings.

As for the gears, if the synchro teeth do not look like their counterpart as on the new synchro rings, then yes, replacement is warrantied. :eek:

Marc, there is a "sliding sleeve" called a torq-loc slider. It will help keep the gears engaged, they are about $40 each.

Contact this Company.... graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Years ago I did a couple of Muncies. The cost has come down a bit but they still frequently cost more to rebuild than to buy a new one even with free labor. If they need several new parts beyond the minimum it can get expensive fast. Blocker rings, bearings and seals are no big deal but once you start replacing drive gears, idler gears and sliders, you are on a slippery slope into spending $2.00 to save $1.50 worth of worn parts IMHO. Don't forget the old tranny has value as a core to someone else. You can subtract that amount from the cost of a brand new unit and see why you should possibly go with a new one.

Thank you guys !
i'll buy the 2 sliding sleeves + the third gear unit, and that will do it.
I looked carefully everything with a skilled friend, it will be alright.

I'll tell you when i'll ride wirth it. tongue.gif
