I am in the process of rebuilding my Muncie SM420 4-spd tranny and I have a question about painting the tranny. I have degreased, sandblasted, and primed the tranny and I am getting ready to paint it tomorrow night. My question is whether I should or should not paint the mounting flange area where the tranny meets the bell housing. I wondering if I will have problems with assembly and alignment of the tranny with the bell housing if I paint these mounting surfaces. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
