Default Autogear M-22

Is the Autogear M-22 wide ratio transmission supposed to have that signature whine?
Had one installed in my '70 recently and it doesn't sound noisy at all.
I don't race the car but wanted that "whine".
Anyone know?

If it is a wide ratio, it is not an M-22. If it is an M-22 it will whine a little since the helical angle of the gears is less than other Muncie transmissions.

Regular Muncie has 45 degree gear pitch an M-22 is 22.5 degrees hence the whine. Autogear makes 22.5 degree wide ratio gearsets for the Muncie 4 speed but also 45 degree gearsets are avalible. I would say if it dosent have at least a little whine, you have a 45 degree pitch gearset.

So the shop that did the install had the option of specifying which degree of gearset?

I have an Original M22. It wines a lot in the first 3 gears and is almost gone when in 4th.
