I recently paid 300 labor to have my muncie rebuilt, and another 300 in parts.

My '67 Chevelle Muncie failed two days into my eBay ad to sell the car 18 months ago.

I forked out $800 to get it fixed in a hurry by a local Muncie expert. It shifted so damn nice afterwards I nearly didn't sell the car. That was the price to R&R the tranny, parts and labor.

Normally, I would have shopped the price some more but I was in a bind with several bids over my eBay reserve price so I knew the car was gone soon...

Bair's charges $650 to rebuild a rear. Don't know how many parts this includes, probably just the norm or typical wear parts. Gear changes, etc. would be extra.

In your area, I would call Gary Ramadi to do the rear. He is close to you and VERY GOOD.

Not certain about who to go for the Muncie. Maybe D&L Transmissions. I think Jofa and Frankie gave you the cost.

It’s not what you asked, but if you have the time and basic mechanical skills, rebuilding a Muncie is not that difficult and can be pretty satisfying once you finish. I bought an overhaul kit from D & L Transmission and followed the Muncie rebuilding DVD from 5speeds.com. I needed an additional reverse and idler gear but still came in under $350 for all of the parts.

As mentioned by a few above, Larry Fischer at D&L Transmission is an EXCELLENT choice in your area. I buy ALL my 4sp parts from Larry and have been doing business with him for 30+yrs.
