Might be looking to convert my 3 speed w/OD to a four on the floor. Can anyone recommend some shops etc...that i should contact? Looking at the M-20, but price is a huge consideration, as always.
Thanks.

How would anyone recommend a shop when they don't know where you are?
Thanks Maddog, that most valuable piece of information has certainly hindered all in providing me the info I seek. Too bad there is not something like, say...hmmm...oh, we could call it the internet. Yes, the internet, where regardless of where one resides, they could order something online! Wow! That would be very cool! But, since that does not exist, we are left only to purchase items from our local vendors. Oh well, i will continue my search for the best price available and share what i have found, after my ONLINE PURCHASE!
You said "can anyone recommend some shops" which implies install, if it's just parts purchase then say soOriginally Posted by Crissys55
I never understood why guys hide their locations, or at least don't put them on their avatars. That goes for BOTH of you. I personally would make it a requirement to join the site. What's the big deal?

If you start your own site you can make any requirement you like. As far as MY location I never gave it a second thought when I signed up, not really important in MY opinion. Now if I want something then MY location may become relevant. In the orig posters post I read it as meaning install shops, maybe I read it wrong.
If people had their location in their profiles or something, we wouldn't have to ask where they're located. I just never understood why people act like they're hiding something or afraid of something. It's like covering up license plates in a picture...what's the point? Seems really dumb to me.

If you buy online or over the phone from a distant supplier, shipping cost is a concern on an item like a transmission. And if you have a problem, you just doubled that problem. A Muncie can probably be shipped UPS, but it will have to be packaged correctly. Otherwise it's truck freight, and a different deal altogether.
If you're willing to install it, maybe you're willing to rebuild it yourself. If you plan to have the installation done by a shop, then it's kind of like taking a raw steak to a restaurant and asking them to cook it.
I think "price is a consideration" is the key. I imagine some folks post on websites in hope that some one has no clue as to the real value and will give it away for next to nothing, just bercause.
Crissy55- welcome to the "Grumpy Old Men" site...
The site where the only thing more painful than asking a question, is answering one. Isn't this helpful and fun!
Oh and I have bought several Muncies through the years on Craigslist... I've seen them from $500-$1500.
Consider a T-10 or Saganaw, they were fine, held up good and much cheaper.
