Features
- The Muncie 4-speeds (M20, M21, and M22) are some of the most popular manual transmissions ever made and continue to be incredibly popular.

- Many owners want to retain the original transmission in their classic cars to maintain their value.

- 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 such as 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.
- 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.
