Everyone, I must apoligize. This is a long one! Sorry.
Anyway, I want to rebuild the muncie M21 trans in my 66ss. It shifted good when I pulled it, somtimes grnding from 2nd into 3rd and accasionally going into reverse. I was going to have a shop do it but they want 900 bucks! Is this what the common price is for having these rebuilt, cause for that price I could find a good rockcrusher. Anyway they told me all they really need is the case to be in good cond. They say that they replace everything inside, gears, synchros, shafts, the whole 9 yds. This still sounds spendy to me so I am willing to rebuild it myself unless this you all feel this is reasonable. I have been told that thier not that hard to rebuild anyway. Here are some questions I have.
1. I have a press at my work but what else is required for pressing the parts?
2. Does someone publish a manual or book on doing these trannys?
3. What gear oil do I use after im done?
4. And what parts are commonly replaced when rebuilding these? (synchros im sure.)
5. And finally I noticed that the resto places like Year One and OPG have rebuild kits, where else can I find parts?
Thanks Everyone for helping me out and sorry for this long post.
