High performance with a muncie
Can our muncie M21 trannies be rebuilt or upgraded to handle some serious horsepower. Or is there a transmission of choice for some serious applications.
I have a couple of pip-dream eye in the sky projects in mind if I ever get a decent job....... |

Muncies are pretty stout boxes to begin with...just what are your plans in the future? Richmond has 5 and 6 speed trannies, if you desire better gearing.

Re: High performance with a muncie (GDaina)
a whipplecharged 383 -- figure I could get 700+ hp and trq out of it
But its a pipe dream anyway Could I order a M22 gear set for my M21.... I guess the M22 was stronger than the M21 [Modified by Guru_4_hire, 5:27 PM 9/27/2003] |

Could I order a M22 gear set for my M21.... I guess the M22 was stronger than the M21 I would check ebay, and C3 parts for sale. The M22's pop up for sale, but expect to shell some serious change. |

A company makes brand new M22's that are supposed to be stronger than the older ones as well. Just wondering if there was a rebuild kit or something I could do to my M21 so I didnt have to buy a new tranny.
http://www.5speeds.com/newm22.html or this company is affliated with them too http://www.autogear.net/ |
Re: High performance with a muncie (Guru_4_hire)
Can't hurt to call and see if they sell the individual gears..only thing you save is the box, as you will be replacing all the internal gears, so, why not buy the box, and have your M21 intact...if you don't want the tranny anymore, sell it to offset the cost of the M22?

Re: High performance with a muncie (GDaina)
Would the M22 be able to handle 800 or so HP/TQ?
|
Re: High performance with a muncie (Guru_4_hire)
The M21 will be able to handle it as well. Where you break gears and run into problems is power slammiing...if you just shift fast and avoid the initial shock, the trannys will live. Acceleration won't destroy the trannys

Re: High performance with a muncie (GDaina)
I would really prefer to not break a tranny. Oh well I guess the 2K for the tranny is cheap insurance.

Re: High performance with a muncie (Guru_4_hire)
The rear end will still be the weakest link in the system. I personally would start there. A tranny that will support 800 hp with a rear end that supports 600 makes the additional handling capabilities of the tranny moot.

And by not slamming the gears, and avoiding the shock, the rear end will also live, but then....it's no fun just shifting, gotta slam the gears and see if the front end lifts...... :D |
Re: High performance with a muncie (GDaina)
I was gonna replace the rearend as well, I figured that was a given
|
Re: High performance with a muncie (Guru_4_hire)
just get stronger yokes, get rid of the u bolts and get 427 end caps for the u joints. No need to replace, just go over the rear end and put new bearings and any other gears that show wear
|
Re: High performance with a muncie (GDaina)
Hmmmm sounds good-- Its all a pipe dream anyway :(

Re: High performance with a muncie (Guru_4_hire)
Unless the ring and pinion, and spiders are chipped, you will be fne.

Re: High performance with a muncie (GDaina)
Hopefully

m22 isn't straight cut, just cut at a lesser angle.
