I moved to the tail section then, pulling out all five bolts. They're 9/16 inch.

For the next part make sure you're over a stable surface like a table. Crap will go everywhere!

Pull the case apart. most people never do this because its hard to get back together. But to rebuild your muncie sm 318 you need to do this to get to the rear bearings. and the needlebearings, which you're about to meet.

Some also get scattered around inside. Stick a pencil magnet or your finger in there to get them out. Set the tail section aside for now.

Then slide the outer ring off of what's left inside the transmission. This is your 1st and reverse gear. Notice how tiny the gear teeth are? After this I really don't think I'll ever do a burnout from a red light ever again. These things are tiny!

Finally slide the big pepsi-can looking thing out the back. This is second and third gear.

Now run a magnet (the silver triangle looking thing here) around inside again. I found more needle bearings!

Grab a socket, this one is 9/16 if I remember right. Add some extensions.

Poke it through the back where the tailshaft used to be. Poke it into the spot where the needlebearings were.

Now ring it with a hammer. Just the weight of the hammer, don't knock it into next week.

The front shaft (input shaft) will pop right out in your hand.

That's it for the case here. Set it aside somewhere.

Needle bearing collection. I found one more fat one (fat ones go on the front) stuck to the shaft.

Um...If you didn't already, take the washers off the TAIL shaft now. We set it aside already, remember?
