Smh man I remember hearing this in my dad's Z/28 when he used to take me to school lol and to me nothing beats that mechanical sound these transmissions make.
Love that gear whine! Honestly, I'm glad I didn't hear a bunch of high rpm shifting with the tires screaming and the transmission getting slammed from one gear to the next. It would have taken away from what I was trying to listen for. I don't mind the rest of the noises I mentioned, but time and place is all. Breaking in a new clutch is a good reason to make an enjoyable video, and this one is calming.
As a middle schooler I had a neighbor named Butchie who had a Chevrolet 454 brand new red with black stripe. He'd creep up the street and we'd stop our street hockey game just to listen to this exact whine. Thanks for the memories...🤙😎✌
Muncie M22s went into production in 1967 and were mainly designed for road racing rather than for drag racing or street use. The straighter angle cut on the gears made for the winning noise and also made them harder to shift. The larger diameter internal pins, shafts and fine spline input shaft made the M22 more durable than the M21 and M20. Swapping an M22 onto your Chevy required a change in clutch disc to a fine spline type and a larger diameter tail shaft yoke. This is a must, to fit. M21 and M20 can be swapped with no modifications required. Fact: A M20 was designed to shift smoother than a M22, was quieter, and had a more desirable 1rst gear ratio than the 'lazy' M22. Most cars with rear end gears ratios in the 3 series launched and revved better with a M20 than with a M22. The M22 required a stiffer rear gear ratio to make up for the lazy
I was getting ready to type "Bring that thing outta the hole grandpa" when your message popped up on the screen that you were breaking in a fresh rebuild. 😄
My friend dropped a Rock Crusher into his 64' GTO. I loved that whine. Had a bad throw out bearing in it, and that rattle was cool too. I can still hear that sweet music, even today. RIP Oz.
I used to own a 71 SS 454 (LS-5) with the factory installed M22. That transmission really added to that car being unique. It was a smooth shifting transmission even with the factory shifter. Nice video!
It's very refreshing to see someone shifting that beautiful machine gently and letting the synchros do their thing. Power shifting is fun and all, and when you're on the track, it's expected. But many folks fail to realize how hard it is on synchros (and forks in extreme cases!) GORGEOUS '66, by the way.
That M-22 Rockcrusher was a Helluva nice transmission, I love the sound of that gear whine!!! I remember as a kid, I rode in a '69 GTO with that Rockcrusher, stuck with me eversince!!! That was 45 years ago, wow!!!
I liked this so much I played it for the wife and she just looked at me and shook her head.
I may be a Ford Guy, but my heart skipped a beat hearing that whine.
Sir, I'm sorry to say, that is not double clutching.
who needs a radio when you have a rock crusher damn some guys have all the luck
God I love the sound of that whine. And the click of the shifter too...so crisp.

Never heard of a breakin time for a Rock Crusher. Rebuilt many, always beet the hell out of them, never had one fail.
