go with the m21 alum. trans - the m22 was used in high performance applications & was fine spline input shaft ( rare & costly trans) - have owned several m20's & m21's
both good transmissions -- the m20 was a cast iron case though

M22 is a close ratio 4 speed. good for 1/4 mile racing, and road racing, nothing more. not a good crusing tranny because if you go with a higher rear end gear to off set the low gearing of the "Rock Crusher" then you lose the point of getting the M22 anyways........it all depends on what you want.
M21 is the most common.
edit: actully no i retract that statment. i was getting two different transmissions mixed up. difference between the M20-M21 and the M22 was the M22 had gears that had straighter teeth on the gearset, which made them easier to turn. if you find an original M22 hang on to it, they are rare and usually if you look at the numbers on the case, you cant really tell anything because the gears could have been changed. there were only like 500 gearsets made for the M22 that didnt leave the factory in M22 transmissions. so if the tranny has been rebuilt, it wont have the original straighter gears in them.
