I am sick of my 350 turbo in my 71 Chevelle. anyone know what manual tranny from other vehicle will interchange.

Any GM tranny (Muncie or Saginaw) from the late 60's to early 70's will work. You will have to get a bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, shifter, clutch linkage setup (from OPG, or musclecarparts.com) as well as the tranny. Expect to fork over some $$$ but I am doing the same thing now on my 71 Chevelle and found my best prices on ebay. Good luck and happy shifting!!!

Thanks for the info. Are the trannys hard to find, still not sure if this is going to be better.

Muncie 4 speeds have dropped in price 5 & 6 speeds have replaced them. Last year at Carlisle I saw Muncies for $125 rebuilt kits $150 new cases $250 rebuilt $600

why was the thread named leaky tranny? And if your going to replace it i would go with a muncie 4-speed.

I should have wrote in that it constantly leaks even after two reseal jobs. Some arounbd the pan and some around the speed o gear, sorry for the confusion.
