No mine isn’t I forgot that part as well.
Just don’t get it to hook.. you will be fine..I remember you broke yours and that is why I’m a little nervous about mine Ricky!
Put a good th400 in there and don't worry about it!!!!
Boy does that look familiar! I have the same thing in my Nova, a G-Force G101A with a McLeod soft lock clutch.My Muncie first gear after switching from drag radials to slicks. Now, mine didn’t have the M-22 style straighter cut gears, but I’ve always been told that wasn’t so much to make stronger gears, but to keep them from trying to walk out of the case, and with the Auto Gear case I want too worried about that. Somebody correct me on that if I’m wrong.
I went to the PRI show and bought it there, they like CASH and shipped it for free.When you do get ready for a G-Force ask them if they have any pre-owned cases. They did a used, factory checked case with new guts for me. Saved about $1000
The other BIG advantage of the G-Force is gear selection. Going from a 2.56 first to a 3.17 made a huuuuge difference getting the car moving. Then tweaking the other gears to suit you. I had concerns on the 1-2 gear spacing but it turned out to be a non issue.
If your drag racing with 450HP + and have good tires (slicks) it will probably break, its an OEM synchronized transmission with helical cut gears that was designed for street use. It may be a little more stout than a T10 or Muncie but its still questionable for racing. Sell it to a ford guy for a restoration and put the money towards a gearbox that was designed for drag racing.How about a ford top loader, stouter than the muncie and st10
I have one that has been pro shifted I'm going to try.
Some of those super cars had Muncie M22's in them, they had a gear set with less of an angle on the helical cut gears but still were not straight cut like a transmission designed for drag racing. M22's are expensive and harder to find, you can buy M22 gear sets and build one from a m20 or m21 transmission but they still break under extreme conditions.Just remember the L 78 L 79, ZL1, Yenco Super cars, LS 6 70 Chevelle all had Muncies in them but had bias ply tires on them too. Lol

Now thats funny, a friend of mine had 71 or 72 Nova 350 4 speed back in the early 70's. When it broke the bottom of the case blew off and left a huge oil patch of 90 weight on the road that stayed there for months, every time we drove by that spot we would laugh.That's when mine went at Great Bend. Mine had the mid support and special gears from Italy. Don ??? somebody built it. He's from Indiana. I believe I got 4 or 5 years out of it.
Get a Saginaw.......
