I just got my muncie tranny I bought off e-bay and I have a few questions. I was told this was a 1967 from a chevelle. The humbers are as follows: cover 3883685, Main case 3885010, stamped on left side near cover is 72136837. The tail is 3846429. Can anyone ID this gear box?
Problem #1: The shifter mounting area has 5 holes. 3 on top 2 underneath. Two on top closest to the main case are tapped 3/8-16 one on top 5/16-18. Two on botton 5/16-18. The hole on the bottom row closest to the main case has half of the outside wall of the tapped hole broken away. It fell off in my hand when I was inspecting the tranny. Don't want to talk about whether or not the ebayer new it was cracked! Will I have to repair with heliarc welding and redrilling and tapping in order to mount the hurst shifter I intend to purchase or does the shifter mount to the rear most 3 mounting holes?
Problem #2: the input shaft has some up and down movement. Should I replace the front bearing or is some movement to be expected?
Thanks
Don
