Well I screwed up somewhere on the Muncie 4 Speed repair and now there is a noise in 4th gear while cruising. Let's take this thing apart and figure out what I did wrong.
If you have a project you would like to showcase at the end of one of my videos just email me a few pics and a short description to: foothillpaintandfabrication@gmail.com
Here is a link to the shims I used to solve the problem: amzn.to/3jwfL4d

A "smokey burnout" is part of the test drive. Awesome video series, seeing this car come together. NEXT!

Yup! Those tires look great but they are aged out and not really safe for continuous highway speeds so leaving some of their rubber on my road was a nice sacrifice to the great god Smokey Burnout.

That's pretty cool Mark! Glad you solved it. I'm fascinated with that transmission.

My first car (1967 GTO) had a Muncie 4 speed in it and I have loved them ever since. It brought back a lot of memories driving the Chevelle which makes me want to get going on my GTO even more.

Thanks Always nice when you can fix your own screw up relatively easily.

The Borg Warner Super T10 Kits are the the opposite, OEM had 10 bearings and the new SKF "HD" bearing has 11 smaller balls. Here's the thing, the old ones with 100,000 miles were nice and tight and the new ones loose like yours. I made a video of them and also contacted Paul to purchase a couple of his sealed bearings. His response was that the loose bearings are fine and will tighten up when filled with lubricant. He also pointed out that they get tighter as they age. Who am i to argue? He's built more transmissions in his life time than i've had hair cuts. Not to mention, where to you go from SKF? Backwards? We'll see, but first I have to deal with a sloppy hub.

Paul does know his stuff that is for sure. I felt way more comfortable using the "old" bearing than the new one though. The Muncie is working great and absolutely no noise so going retro bearing worked out for us this time. I know Paul is a transmission genius but in all my years I have never found a bearing to tighten up unless it was rusty. Mark

You mention it didn't have a factory 4 speed. I want to do a swap on mine. I have the muncie and bell housing . Trying to figure out he Z bar process or hydraulic clutch set up. Thoughts?

@FoothillPaintandFabrication Жыл бұрын

Sorry I somehow missed this comment Tim. I would think a hydraulic set up would be better but more expensive. Mechanical clutch is still really good though. Do you have the clutch pedal, linkage, pivot stud and counter shaft yet? If so finding the best location for the pivot stud mount on the frame is pretty easy. Just mock everything up so all linkages are traveling in a straight line from the pedal and the counter shaft is as level as possible. I will be switching to hydraulic on my GTO. Mark

@@whiteoutram0516 At least you don't have to go through the conversion from auto to manual. It will be super fun to drive that is for sure. Let me know how it turns out. Mark
