Mike Montanari, aka “Monty”, has to remove and replace his Butler Performance Roller camshaft and lifters, from his 1969 Pontiac GTO Restomod, in his home garage. In order to do so, the motor must be pulled out! This is part 2, where he shows us how to remove his Muncie M20 Four Speed, and clutch. This process is applicable for all manual transmissions, especially Muncie M20, M21, and the M22 “Rock Crusher”.

Hi Monty, Awesome video. Just a couple of questions. How heavy is the Muncie? I believe the Muncie has an aluminum case. I have a Saginaw which is cast lead. 🙂 No one man job for me…not Arnold. 2. When you installed the new TKO/TKX transmissions you no longer had the reverse lockout mechanism. Did that require any additional part removal from the steering column or from the engine? Any ill effects on removing all that hardware? Have a good Memorial Day!
Very helpful!!! Thanks Mike
Was just wondering dimensions of your alluminum plate inbetween your lift ramps, looks like a great idea,thanks
can you remove and replace the engine while the muncie is still in place?
I'm enjoying your videos. Better than Netflix. I notice you take the bottom bolts out last. I like to take the top bolts out last if I can. That way you don't have to hold to keep from tilting outward. Also, if you had a Grand Prix you wouldn't probably need to pull the engine to replace the cam. I know, small price to have the real deal. LOL
Any idea where to get the bolts that hold the trans to the bell housing your holding up?
Hey Monty, that's a very methodic step-by-step tutorial! I will be removing my Saginaw four speed trans on my 1968 Camaro to swap in a Muncie M21. There are only minor differences vs. your car like the starter on the opposite side … thanks for sharing!
Wow I live off 54 in New Port Richey,FL.. do you guys have a shop in Dunedin..?
thanks again Im going to remove my trans. tommorrow, if you havent, check out Nitemare Performance, all Pontiac. Anyone else here check it out if you need parts. Great detail BTW really helps. Did my front end today
Does Cameron want to make $30 hr to help me? Hahaha! Thanks for this it really helps
Those Hurst locking shifter clips or as you called them, C clips will eat the rubber bushing on a stock factory shifter. I went back to using the factory lock clips. If I use my aftermarket Hurst Comp Plus shifter with the stop bolts then I use the nylon bushings cause the metal ones break from hard shifts in my 70 Z/28. 5:43 are not factory but available in a Hurst Pit Pack with nylon bushings.
