Muncie case bushing recommendation

Looking to possibly have my Muncie case bushed due to countershaft leaking a bit. Would anybody have any recommendations on quality work by a quality shop?
Thanks in advance.

Give autogear a call in Syracuse. You won't find a company who has invested more into the muncie.

Jason on v8buick.com recommends Steve Bechtold in Northport, Long Island. Might be worth checking out. See this thread: Muncie case repair

The Supercase is back in production, and it uses a soft aluminum plug on the countershaft. Wright Connection Speed and Gear in Bakersfield, CA can hook you up.

Peen the case around the countershaft hole from the out side and use sealer at the front per the CSM when reinstalling the countershaft.

Sorry for not updating this but Steve bushed the Muncie case and I just got everything back together. Steve uses a steel bushing. He bushed both the front and rear holes. He did a great job with quick turn around. He checks everything on the case and makes repairs if necessary. It's literally been a day since I reassembled so I have to see if it leaks or not but its a solid repair and counter shaft was a tight interference fit so I am optimistic this will be a success. I took it for a little drive and it sounded good. Im out of town right now otherwise Id be driving the **** out of it. It looks like a great repair and Steve is very detailed and honest. He is old school and you have to contact him on a land line and I enjoyed speaking with him. He doesn't take electronic payment and only takes a personal check or money order which I find refreshing to be honest. One of the good guys. If anyone needs his contact feel free to PM me.
