Synopsis
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., Transmission expert and veteran author Paul Cangialosi has created an indispensible reference to Muncie 4-speeds that guides you through each crucial stage of the rebuild process., The Muncie 4-speeds (M20, M21, and M22) are some of the most popular manual transmissions ever made and continue to be incredibly popular.

    It is and continues to be a new book. No blurred, missing pages, all photos good, reading is easy with poor eyes, but not yet put to the test (rebuilding a Muncie). What else can one say about a book.

    A Definitive Guide

    Paul Cangialosi has written an easy to read and understand guide for the DIY hobbyist. He carefully explains the common areas of concern in these transmissions (how to spot wear, common mistakes, etc.) He helps you evaluate the quality of replacement parts, and is generous with his hard-won knowledge regarding tips and tricks to make a smoother, more durable product. Carefully using this information will help you produce a re-manufactured transmission superior to most shop rebuilt units.

    A MUST OWN.

    A great refresher or a fabulous guide when doing your first Muncie rebuild. Lots of pictures and part numbers. It shows worn out parts vs new and explains what happens the worn item is not replaced. The Auto Gear replacement is covered as well as adapting the Muncie for a transfer case. I highly recommend owning this book if you own a Muncie or work on them for others.

    To the point

    Great reference for rebuilding Muncie transmissions with plenty of photos. Paul does an excellent job explaining how to check for wear, when a component should be replaced, and if there is an upgrade available. Good pictorial on how power is transmitted through each gear in the gear train, which I never fully understood. Highly recommended along with his videos online!
