Basket Case Muncie M21 for $ 175.00 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Men..........I have a local guy that has offered to sell me a Muncie M21 trannie for $ 175.00. The caveat is that it is in pieces and will need to be rebuilt. Do you think it's a good deal?

Great deal! You can upgrade it to the internals of a M-22 for cheap.

Check out his Muncie stuff.

He is just up the road from me. These guys really know their stuff when it comes to manual transmissions. I have had him rebuild several trans for me over the years and was very happy with everything they have done. Great customer service too.

I would pass on the M-21 in pieces and just buy a new one with the super case and all the upgraded M-22 guts if you really want a Muncie.

Depends on what parts need to be replaced as to whether or not it's a good deal. Muncie parts (or complete transmissions for that matter) are not cheap at all, and unless you can build it yourself plan to dish out at least $200-300 for labor. For the price of a new super case m22 you can get a tko500 and have a stronger trans with overdrive and better gear splits. There's $.02 from a guy with a M21 in his truck.
