In the looong wait for my car to be released from body shop prison I've decided to see if I could rebuild my Muncie myself. Does anyone have any good links showing detailed step by step instructions for both tear down and reassembly. The tear down is not that tough I pretty much have it all apart except how do you get 2nd and 3rd gear off the main shaft? Press? Beat it with a pole? :-) I've seen some poor exploded diagrams and a few sites with some info but missing some details. Internally everything looks to be in great shape with very little wear if any. However reverse looks to be a little worn but how can you tell, are they suppose to be a little rounded since they have to be engaged unlike the other gears? Synchros look sharp. Any advice for "reskinning the case", I could take it to Jerry M. who does top notch work, but I like doing it myself after all it is a hobby and I'm sure I can do it as long as I have the RIGHT information. Who has the best parts if I need them? One other thing, does anyone know what the little disk is in the bottom of the case under the countershaft, it is not in the exploded diagram and does that get replaced?
Thanks in advance,
Jerry K.
