    * Muncie 2-speed direct drive *

    I have a Aluminum Muncie 4-speed converted to a 2 speed internal clutch direct drive like a Bert,Brinn,Falcon. Any body know about these ? I heard they are from Iowa, Raygust (spelling) maybe ?? It has had a lot of machine work done to it, so not a backyard shadetree job. Any idea's ???

      Ray Guss from Milan Illinois is the creator that everyone copied on the internal clutch trans. Ray Jr, may or may not be of any help, but I do know of a person in Independence Iowa that rebuilds them and is very close by to me.

        the mps tranny is from kansas. one out of iowa that builds something similar is mitchell machine. he builds aluminum saginaws using a "stock replacement" case. they are 51lbs when they are done.

          Thanks for the leads guys. I took this in on trade as labor for a Bert rebuild. Two gears are bad & one of them are on the shaft that has clutch assembly welded to it. Hoping to find parts. Thanks !!

                      Yes, 1:1 ratio

                      when you let off of clutch pedal and pull into 4th gear only the input & output shaft will be turning. 2nd & clutch are no longer turning. Thanks for the leads guys !

                            What gears do these use? 1st and 3rd or 2nd and 3rd?

                            Currently running an m21 with a 604. Looks like an improvement, right?
                            Tranny was in peices, but looks like 2nd & 4th are used.... Yes big improvment, not only are you getting the 13lbs clutch off of crank, you are no longer turning gears inside case. Not sure of others, but this looks\operates just like a bert inside.
                            * Doug * You left a voicemail but no #. Please call back

                              Yes. Had one. Didnt like the 1.3 ration for takeoffs.

                              I never checked it internally. Is it as lw when 1-1 (do the gears turn?).

                              I like the idea of that Guss 4 spd. Especially when a 4 spd is already in it. Would be a direct swap and easy to change back. Be interesting to see the gains not spinning all those gears and the clutch
