![]() Tailhousings often get damaged where the reverse shifter shaft lock pin sits, and at both the shifter and main mount bolt-boss locations.īecause date-coded serial numbers and VINs were only stamped (not cast) into the main case, the main case should be your starting point. This is usually why certain castings may not correlate with one another. Its quite common to see later cases replace early ones for this reason. Main cases often suffered from broken mounting ears, but the later cases had thicker, stronger mounting ears. Untouched “survivor” Muncies are rare so are the ones that have correct correlating casting and serial numbers. Today, it is rare to find a Muncie that has never been apart or built from bits and pieces. They often get angry because they don’t want to face up to the fact that they got burned and made a bad 4-speed purchase. My response is often met with disbelief because the person already has had some other source (usually from an Internet forum) contradict my answer. Several times a day I’m asked, by email or phone, how to identify a Muncie.
