Muncie suggestions
I currently have a Muncie trans for sale in the sale section. I thought it was a '64 with case 3851325, side cover 3831707, tail 3846429 with the speed connection on
the drivers side. A forum member suggested that it is a '65 with an incorrect tail piece. I am not doubting his knowledge by any means, since I am no expert on
Muncie. Since the trans has no vin # would I be better to change the tail to a '65? If so what is the correct one with the speedo on the pass. side for a '65?
Thanks Ric

I would not change it unless I had one unused sitting on the shelf. But, up to 2/65 3846429 and after 3857584 according to Colvin.

They aren't judged; you can get a Top Flight with that transmission in a 64 -- only a "numbers junkie" is gonna lose sleep over it... I wouldn't change a thing...

Notice the square boss on the top-center-rear of the main case. That is indicative of a later 65 main case.That boss on earlier 325 cases was round, as seen below on the long Muncie, compared to the square boss next to it.
Thus, I feel your Muncie is a later 65 version.

As far as I know, ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL 4spds in 65 GM cars were Muncies. The Saginaw 4sp was not introduced until the 66 models and the T-10 was gone by mid 63.
And the FULL SIZE Olds-Pont got the long Muncie as in my picture above.

Thank you for your responses everyone.. so as I understand this tranny with a 584 extension would be correct for a '65 Corvette.
Since there is no vin associated with this main case it could be made to appear to be a Corvette tranny. The configuration as it
is now would have been used in a '65 GM product that required the speedo to connect on the drivers side. Anyone need such a set up?

Buick A-body's used early T-10's thru the 1966 model year...
In the 1965 model year, the top mounting boss on the main case was rounded like a 1964 model year until early Dec.,
by mid Dec. the mounting boss changed to squared version...
I checked a lot of 325 cases and the latest rounded 325 case I could find was P1203,
the earliest squared 325 case I could find was P1214...
Hope this helps... Eric
