Re: 1966 Muncie Transmission Removal?
Barry,
Someone already mentioned the over fill, but the manual says, with trans cold the level is to be 1/2 " below the fill hole. It will rise higher when hot, but some long time experts say that is to much and I recommend about 1" below. 1" will lube the trans just great as the always spinning gears pick the oil up and sling it everywhere. There is not a seal for the input shaft and oil can & will come out with heavy braking, and overfill condition. I have seen seals in the front bearing retainer on some munches but I don't remember what year or if it was a special mod which I have done on a few myself.
1 quart is more oil that could leak out if the gasket were missing. Also that gasket has a drain hole that let's the oil return to the case after it passes thru the front bearing.

Re: 1966 Muncie Transmission Removal?
Barry,When I restored my 65 I rebuilt the Muncie and it leaked from the counter shaft. I knew the trans was okay so I just moved it back from the bell housing and placed RTV over the end of the exposed shaft and buttoned it up. Have not had a leak in two years. I have a slight leak at the tail shaft seal so may try Dom's oil level to solve that issue.DaleComment

Re: 1966 Muncie Transmission Removal?
Dale,
Good post about the possibility of the shaft leak between the trans and the bellhousing. I have used RTV on all my installations after finding a oil leak at the shaft years ago.
