I remember the first time I rode in a car with a V8 and a stick and that getting thrown forward and then slammed back in your seat on the 1-2 shift is the greatest feeling!
love the old rock crushers. my brothers and sisters all had cars with em and i still miss that signature whine and rattle from every bolt attached to the transmission rattling loose. you just have never experienced life until you have drive an old camaro with an M-22, that whine empowers your soul.
More often than not I have to explain that NO it's not about to grenade itself...YES It's supposed to sound like that...and thank you for calling me an idiot for having a "worn out Muncie". Lol. I even had one dude tell me how "my dad has an M-22 Rock crusher and HIS doesn't make all that noise." Okay, what's more likely... Your dad getting ripped off and told he was buying a 22? or this transmission is still shifting great and has been since 2004 and its a worn out base Muncie? Lol
@@dustinschab9688 I honestly don't know how it's setup. It was originally a stick, but is now an auto (the clutch pedal is still in it). Probably everything but the pedal.
@@JRC99 if you put a muncie in you will have to come up with alot of parts besides the transmission. Clutch linkage, Z Bar, if it's a big block you need the bb cross member. My 68 was an auto car also. Have to come up with all that shit still. If you run an auto, I could definitely be the guy to buy your manual parts
Did it ever give you any problems? I want to put one behind A Pontiac 400 wouldn’t be making more than 400 horse at the very max probably somewhere in the low to mid threes but I know those engines are torque monsters.
@@joshs2448 No never had any trouble with the tranny. I drove the car for a year, raced two seasons and rebuilt the engine with a guy named Moore in Texas who was a record holder in a Pontiac in his class. The rebuild with hotter cam ect bumped up the HP to 650 and raced it with the same transmission. Torque? When the rear tires hooked it would twist the front to the point of the hood getting pinched.
1st.car I drove solo...68 Camaro SS 396 M-22...took my sister's keys,no license,went to a local drive in restaurant with curb service,reported to police by a waitress...police showed...he followed me home...no arrest...no ticket...just watched me park it...wouldn't happen today...
Glad to hear a real M22, every car I see for sale these days with a Muncie is owner claimed M22 when it is not. Seems M22 has become a catch phrase like DZ.
@@imacrazy6872 in my life time I have professionally raced a 327 331 396 402 427 431 440 454 and now 632. Are you telling me about what I dont know about chevys? I just made a statement about what i saw and heard
Mind you this wannabe has a chrome ball for a shift knob and he;'s wearing Sandals .. Need I say more .. Real Race car guys use white H pattern balls and NEVER wear sandals
If it's howling REBUILD it. I've used these transmissions a lot over the years. They're NOT suppose to howl unless you have Straight cut gears like a Class 8 semi truck, or it's worn out. If it's been rebuilt with straight cut gears, then you double clutch or learn to Float the gears.
The transmission in the video is a muncie m22 which has a straight cut first gear and semi straight cut second and third gear. Thats why they sound like this.
Thats their natural sound. My grandpas 69 camaro had a very similar setup to this one. It had an M22 with straight 1st and semi straight 2nd and 3rd and a 427 with a HUGE cam. Its a bitch to drive but listening to that whining is beautiful
You're thinking of an M-20 or an M-21. The M-22 howls like a banshee. First gear is cut straight, just like a "normal" reverse gear. 2nd and 3rd use a "Semi-Straight" cut. Those trannies are tough as nails as a result.

You certainly don't need a radio the M22 is music all by itself Awesome !

Finally! A video of someone laying into the gas! Seems like 98% of the Rockcrusher videos on TH-cam have the owners babying the car.

I had a 67 chevelle ss396 with that transmission back in high school. It was fun!
Music to my ears. A hot big block and manual trans are a match made in heaven.
Sounds exactly like my 70 LS6 Chevelle....Man does THAT bring back memories
I got one in my 56 hardtop, I love the sound
I picked up an 80’ Z28 as a parts car for my 81’ - paid $400 for it. When I got to the house, I was pleasantly surprised to find it had an M22 in it!
I had a 71 Trans Am that came with the M-22 behind the 455HO engine. It definitely whined off the dealers floor. Awesome never broke.

My 69 Chevelle SS396 came from the factory with a 3:73 posi.Also had a 4 speed.But came with a T-10 for some reason.Love that sound of your M22
69 with a 396 and a 4.10 Turbo 400 on the column.
No T-10s were used in 69, had to be a Muncie.
Boy that can put a smile on your face!
Music to our ears.
This is better than a Playboy magazine! Whew
Ahh, the sweet whine of a rock rockcrusher transmission. Theres nothing like it.
The rock crushers whine almost sounds like a blower. Love it!
How awesome is that!!!
Im really late to the game (Thanks TH-cam!) but that Muncie was just beginning to have fun! Great video!
Beautiful!
Thx for the view of the floor.......
beautiful

What engine hp was this with the M22?
@@thud9797 and the clutch must have been replaced because it was alot stiffer than my dad's Biscayne...
If I still had my big block 4speed M22 muscle 💪 car, I would be dead by now.

thats sick
"Sweet Music".
Very Nice.😮
Sandals or flip flops, you will see them having fun.
Sweet!!!!
T5 Borg Warner in my Trans Am sounds very similar.
Nothing but smiles I bet😂
Love that transmission nothing sounds better
❤️
M22 awesome
Yessuh
You, let off the gas peddle, with a rock crusher? Rock Crushers, were meant to be power shifted!
You, don't, need, any, of, those, commas.
Thats some nvh i could live with
70s music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🍀Got R Done 😎✌️
0:22 the lights and siren begin .
What gears are you running?
is that Boise?
Not driving your hot rod to preserve the value is like saying you ain’t gonna lay pipe to the ol lady so it’s still tight for the next guy.
Muncie Musical
that was cool, however that car can be shifted much quicker.
What is a rockcrusher?
Knickkname for the Muncie M22, the heavy duty 4-speed that they put behind the most powerful GM engines from about 67 thru 72.
Dude tryn to shift this thing in sandals.
336 rear gears
3.73
Must have tall tires,sounds sweet,it would look nice in my garage,I'd put in 411 gears.then drive it like I stole it
@@michaelraddish7898 not sure what you mean by tall tires... With the 3.73s the rpm's are up there as it is on the freeway. The car isn't a race car.
@@michaelraddish7898 427 can power through 3.73 gears as easily as a 350 can power through 4.11's.

Afraid to slam gears ?
flat change that thing
The M21 was the Rock crusher. The close ratio.
M21, Close ratio, yes. Rockcrusher, no.

Check the oil
Not sure what that's supposed to mean. It sounds the way it should
Rock crusher, straight cut gears hence the whining noise.
Oil? Nothing wrong there

They all whine from 1st thru 3rd. 4 will not since that gear is pretty much a direct drive. You obviously don’t know anything about m22’s
