| Post subject: | Choice of gearbox |
hello from France. I have joined to help a friend who doesn't speak English. I own several cars and compete in historique rallies doing all my own maintenance. BUT I know nothing about Camaros!! He has a 1976 model which originally had a six cylinder engine and now a V8. The gearbox has not been changed (it is a 3 speed manual) and he says it doesn't drive well like that. What are the options and what is available? Or what should be in there? Assuming someone has a specific idea on what to replace it with, who would be the most trustworthy to buy a S/H box from ? Thanks in advance. |

The purist choice would be a 4 speed Muncie either M21 or the very rare M22 rockcrusher alternatively you could find a Richmond or GM Super T10 the aftermarket ones come as a 4 or 5 speed keep a look out in classic american or buy a new one from real steel http://www.realsteel.co.uk/section11.pdf |

Thanks for such a quick reply. If budget is important then what would be the best choice? The Muncie on EBay that you showed,what would you expect that to go for? The aftermarket boxes; will they be a straight fit or will bellhousing changes be needed? Same for the Muncie ? How strong are these boxes? What sort of risk buying S/H. Anything particular to look out for ? Oh yes and what about the clutch? Will the existing one fit the other boxes? Sorry if this is tedious...but when you don't know the marque it's difficult! |

I have a Tremec TKO500 5 speed in my car, but it was originally an auto, so needs a some work to do it... The 4 speed M21 would probably the easiest fit, or possibly a T5 5 speed from a 3rd generation Firebird or camaro may fit, but might need some electrics to work well.. |
