new auto gear case they told me the orig. case was the weak link

 

Why would "They" tell you that the case is the weak link? Duh... BECAUSE THEY MAKE A REPLACEMENT CASE that is why !

 

I have run more than one muncie with welded ears-Never had one break.
You are at the level that a new case might be a good idea-I would search hard at why They broke.

 

Repair it..forget the Go Fast Speed Racer stuff. You say you don't beat the car...you don't need a bullet proof case. Waste of money for the street.

Aluminum is easy to repair. Find a good welder ...make sure that the new ears are machined flush with the case front or you are gonna have more cracks.

Try Jerry McNeish www.z28camaro.com. They do GREAT aluminum repair.

x2 i've had they welded back on a couple of m21's that were beat on, they held up fine:thumbsup:

 

How do you like the OD gearset?

We've used welded cases with great success. But, you should find out the root cause of your broken ears to eliminate it a second time.

 

i guy is offering to me a m21 muncie
it seems to be in good conditiond on gears and everything
but the main case is broken , not to much just a small crack
how could this happen??
is there a chance that he had replaced gears
should i buy it
i think its a good deal for 350 dlls
alos its 1 inch counter shaft

 

Pretty sure it will cost you more than $50 IF you can find someone to fix the case right. Seems like you would be way ahead of the game to just get a supercase. I don't think anyone has adressed the reason WHY the case failed. I wouldn't think this would happen if everything else was "right".

I know, it's all that HP and torque that broke the ears off:noway::noway::noway:

Could it be wheel hop???

 

I had an an ear welded back on my M-21 the guy did a good job and it looked like it would never break again. I am not sure about the aftermarket case though.

 

Jody, I sent you a PM and left a voice mail! I need a Muncie Supercase.

Ok guys after further evaluation the ear has cracked through the case and gear oil is leaking out. Looks like I need a new case after all. Better to fix it right now than pay twice as much later. The case was used when I got it. I just had all the internals replaced so the cracks could have been there when I installed it....never really looked closely back then.

 

I big thanks to Jody for hooking me up in 2 days!!!!!!! You want fast, accurate, and dependable service he's the man in PA!

My case has a broken ear when I got it, the ear was nowhere to be found. Supercase was the answer. Rebuilding the thing - that's another story. Have the kit but afraid to try it.

 

I have a supercase. I've found that going the "cheap" route usually ends up costing more in the long run. And a supercase isn't that much anyway: $265.00.

Pretty cheap for this hobby, IMHO.

But I guess it depends on what you are going to do with the car, on how hard you drive it.
