Nick and I had a fun transmission chat today:-)

He said the tail stock is ok to use as is but he will look for a replacement. (I don't know who did the welding so probably best to go for a better piece)

Nick will price a new gear set minus the reverse gear as he said it is mint, he will also look for just the worn gears and we will see what is best. (he just used a new set of gears and they are impressive:-)

Nick will look for replacement shifter "thingys" so the M20 has all the same stuff as my M22.

I sent a Hurst Competition Plus shifter with the transmission but it is for a console car....maybe the offset piece which attaches to the handle can be replaced? Need to modify it a little to suit the original H shifter handle:-)

Nick noticed the transmission had been apart and not used as it wouldn't have worked anyways:-) the needle bearings were not in the right place. (I have to figure out where they were but he explained they were inside the race and they should be outside or visa versa)

Nick explained a few improvements he does to his Muncies from his years of drag racing his Yenko Chevelle:-) I think he said a 2 to 7 ratio of banana peels to saw dust added to the case reduces noise:-) Joke!!!!

I have only some Google and YouTube transmission experience so I am very happy Nick has offered to head up this portion of the restoration:-) I really respect experience!!!

I want to get my M22 freshened to see if any surprises are lurking......but have to put the rock crusher aside:-(

We talked clutches, pressure plates, pilot bushings, flywheels to but I have to pull the bell housing off to see what is in there?

Al sent an extra Diapgram and three finger style pressure plate (He really liked the "kicker clutch":-)

Still lots to figure out:-)

Ryan, I can't remember if your car came with a blowproof or stock bellhousing? If it didn't, and you're planning to go racing, get one that is appropriate. A lot of improvement has been made in the clutch area over the years compared to how those cars were raced back then. I had a bad experience with Center Force, but I'm sure others will speak highly of them. Do your homework and research and seek opinions before you pull the trigger on purchase and installation. Also, see what your trans. guy thinks about changing the 1st gear ratio. I think your M20 should have 2.52; if it doesn't, see if your guy can make sure that it does or maybe even something a bit steeper when he does the rebuild. That car is heavy and the lower (higher numerically) gear ratio will help get the mass moving.

Thanks Dave.

I am researching this item thoroughly, and want a really fun street clutch with the ability to drag race occasionally. So far 10 spline Hays Street/Strip is the one most recommended but 10.5 or 11 inch is still up in the air.

The stock bell housing is on the engine right now, but I agree that rotating mechanical mass is a hazard.




I will get one for the PSMCDR drivetrain for sure. USED would be fine with me, I won't have to certify the car and there is not even a requirement to have the SFI approved scatter shield bell housing in pure stock.


"Manual Transmissions

The transmission must be correct for year, make, model and engine of the car. 3-speed manuals may be upgraded to the correct 4-speed if originally available. Aftermarket H-pattern shifters are allowed if no modifications to the floorpan are necessary. Line locks are not allowed. Scattershields are okay. No conversions from column-shift to floor shift allowed unless available as a factory option. Aluminum flywheels are NOT allowed."

If anyone has a USED one similar to this one for sale at Summit send me a PM.

Ryan

PS: Noticed this rule that I might as well prepare for as well

From the PSMCDR Website....."Driveshaft safety loops are mandatory on all cars 13.99 and faster! I like the style that doesn't require holes to be drilled in the floor:-)

Note from Nick.

"Your trans has the 2.56 ratio.

Nick

Gear Tooth Count

Gear Cluster Ratio

First 36 17 2.56

Second 30 19 1.91

Third 27 22 1.48

Fourth 24 29 1.00

Should be very good on the street:-)
