I have been having "Hand to Hand " Combat with the Muncie... it won a few in the beginning. I had some issues keeping the syncro's in place while putting the mainshaft back in, the sliders would move and release the pins. I had ordered some transmission assembly lube along with the gear sets and seals, this stuff in sticky as a fresh Booger. I was afraid to us to much at first but the more I put on the better it held, once the trans is assembled and filled the lube breaks down with the gear oil. I also had a problem with the reverse shift lever detent. The ball is a pain to get fitted and the moment you move the arm it would come out again. I used a feeler gauge to hold it in position as I mounted the tail housing, worked pretty well.
I shopped around for parts and found "The Gear Box", their located in SC so shipping wasn't bad to Ga.. They were great folks to work with and had everything I needed for the Muncie, they specialize in manual transmissions and had a great supply of parts.
