Don't know if I'll have a tranny to do, but I'm in for the eating, drinking and stories
Jakes in great, but I guess we'll see who steps up to the plate with a shop

Where in the Pacific North West?
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 07:57 PM
Last time was just north of Portland in Battlefield, WA.

You know... where you visit to breath air that doesn't smell
Posted by: KELTY360 Jan 30 2011, 08:02 PM
I'm in and could offer my place to hold it. I don't think my set-up is as good as Jake's, but I think it would work. I'm in Renton, a short way off I405.
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 08:04 PM
We can keep that in mind. There is also Mr. 242's place, supposedly. I am not worried about a venue, just what dates. Once we commit to dates, I can collect fees, buy tickets, and start to get parts together. The sooner the better since I am going to do 3 of these and that will clean out some used parts stores. I am hoping to get some parts at Hershey in April, too.
Posted by: Tom Jan 30 2011, 08:25 PM
Dr. Evil,
Would love to meet you and see what goes on in the transmission also. Don't need a rebuild right now, so does it cost to just come and be a lookie loo? I could maybe help others if needed.
Just wondering,
Tom
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 08:33 PM
Watchers are free. I posted in in the first post, too
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 08:37 PM
More info:
I will always advise a look-see inside the box. If anyone brings a box that doesnt need a rebuild (not happened yet that I remember), pay for a seal kit, reseal the box, and take back your $300 
No need to pay if you dont need to build. Right?
Posted by: Eddie914 Jan 30 2011, 08:43 PM
I'm in for May. I have two boxes that are both in need of work.
Cheers,
Eddie

Jakeodoule Is in Battleground.
Here is what he said in your initial feeler request
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&showtopic=113802&view=findpost&p=1410143
Your welcome to have it here at my place again! That was a freakn blast!
Posted by: Mr.242 Jan 30 2011, 08:48 PM
It's not my place, but 6Freak said he can host.
Dr.Evil wanted to spend some time in Seattle and I have offered up the Beach house for him and his wife to enjoy while here.
John's was great; just 2 hours away from Seattle for Dr. Evil and the Beach house.
I'll bring BBQ if people are interested in chippin in for a meal and I will que it up; it's a PNW Teener thing. 
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 08:52 PM
Mark made some insane food last time! I think we have to have it at Johns, then afterward, Noel and I will stick around the area for a few days and do some sight seeing. We will be in touch, Mark 
Oysters!
Posted by: Mr.242 Jan 30 2011, 08:59 PM
Oysters and now my new thing......competition BBQ Ribs and Pulled Pork! Pretty darn good, but need to guage interest to see if people want to chip in some money for a meal. Meat is not free. 
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 09:02 PM
Ya, and I hear you cant beat your meat 
Two things I love, oysters and competition BBQ. You may be reason enough to move out there when I am done here
Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Jan 30 2011, 09:04 PM
Mark, You popped my "non-oyster" eating cherry self! They were great! Oh and Billy's Atomic Turds were good too! Can't forget about Johns waffles for breakfast! It was a great time and great company! I will go either place to hang out with you all. I will bring my new big bottles of Vodka and Brandy. Jamie can bring his Cherry Pepsi and all will be right with the universe!
Does anyone have a extra sideshifter I can buy for this build? I like having extra's sitting on my shelf! PM me if you do, 73' preferable.
I'm in for a rebuild Herr Doctor!
I'll chip in for some ribs and oysters!
Posted by: BKLA Jan 30 2011, 09:04 PM
I'm interested as I couldn't make the first one out here. Have two boxes that are unknowns. Have new intermediate plate and diff covers that need to be released from thier cardboard box incarceration
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 09:13 PM
The best time for me would be the 7th and 8th since I can then just relax and tour with the missus. So, these are now the dates. As soon as I hear back from John, it is on. We have 2 standby venues as well so be assured this will happen!
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 09:13 PM
The Atomic Turds were from Todd
Posted by: rohar Jan 30 2011, 09:15 PM
I'd love to show up and meet and greet. Don't have any tranny problems to resolve. Need another core tranny? It's just sitting there and it'd be better to give it to a good home than try and sell it in this town
Posted by: Daiberl Jan 30 2011, 09:16 PM
In, hope that nothing work related comes up, I assume my tranny needs a rebuild (didn't drive the car so far 
) since the car was stored for more than 20 years.

I've got an extra sideshift Drew no problem.
I will bring 2 to rebuild myself.
I was also hoping to bring one that the good DR might rebuild as a prize for WCR?
Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Jan 30 2011, 09:32 PM

Oops! Sorry Todd. That's right, Billy brought the Rootbeer ribs! Oh man I'm having flashbacks of the Trans oil smell, The drinking and the guitar playing next to the bonfire!
I love you guys!

Oh hell yeah! Brilliant Jamie! Your the man!
Cool, Thanks Jamie PM me for the bill.
Rohar, bring it with you, We all will need the parts! I did last time.

I think you mean Battleground, WA.. All good just a heads up.. I was just living up that way and do need to go back up there to finish up or live again..

Hell ya! If you spot me some parts, it is a deal. I dont see an issue and it saves on shipping
Posted by: Jeffs9146 Jan 30 2011, 09:43 PM
I am in when it comes to Stockton! I think there are at least 3 people who are in within 8 blocks of my house!
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 09:45 PM
Jeff, see the Stockton thread
Posted by: JRust Jan 30 2011, 09:53 PM

I will bring the tranny for the WCR rebuild, my 2 tranny's I will rebuild (& yes I will keep the parts seperate this time
) plus at least 2 tailshifts for parts. I also have a tub with misc gears/ parts from last time. We should have no problem having used parts for use
Posted by: rohar Jan 30 2011, 10:07 PM
Rohar, bring it with you, We all will need the parts! I did last time.
NP. It's a tail shifter, but there's gotta be some good parts in there right? All I ask is you guys leave the tranny on the Dodge alone!
Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jan 30 2011, 10:38 PM
I don't know if you guys are interested but I can ask my brother if we can use his shop in North Seattle. It is a full shop with many lifts and one of the mechanics in a big 914 wrench. I could also talk to Dave at Triad and see if he wants to hold it there. Let me know if you want me to look into these. I can say that I know one of these will work for sure but if you have a site picked out cool.
Mike, you and your wife are invited to stay at my parents house for a day or two while up here as well. They live right on the bluff looking over the water in Mukilteo. They are used to visitors and they will likely be up at their cabin anyway.
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2011, 10:46 PM
Optimal would be John's, but we shall see. Those places seem nice
Maybe have to take you up on Mukilteo.
Posted by: rohar Jan 30 2011, 11:10 PM

What would it take to get you to hold this in the Seattle area? I could bring pig and a smoker!
/I can write the trip off if I spend a day in the Bellevue office.

you can google map:
4619 Baker Dr.
Everett, WA 98203
Yeah, I know, I said Mukilteo but the address says Everett. It's a technicality
The shop in North Seattle is on 79th and Greenwood. 7900 Greenwood Ave N. I will check with Matt tomorrow to see how he feels about it.
Posted by: rdauenhauer Jan 30 2011, 11:26 PM
Ya last one at Johns was the bomb!
Like Jamie Ive been hording 901's
At least 4 (pair side, pair tail) so spares galore!
Dont forget the cee-gars!
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 31 2011, 07:49 AM
Generally speaking, people tend to need 2 bands, 2 sets of teeth, and seal kit (I can get for you) at the minimum. Often the lower intermediate plate bearing is needed. This is the typical. If you buy new vs used the prices vary a lot. If you buy used from me at/for the clinic I always cut you a price break (not looking to jack the price up once I have you in need). Feel free to contact me fro pricing and purchasing. You are welcome to buy now when you pay for your tuition. I have limited qty of used stuff and it will be getting less at time and clinics move on. I will try to replenish, but can not promise. Prices for new are changing constantly as well. I can get new for wholesale for ya, but on many parts I would recommend used as they are not inferior and are cheaper.
Posted by: Mr.242 Jan 31 2011, 08:44 AM
DR. EVIL....stay where you want and I will gladly grab you a bucket of oysters* so you may partake where ever your head my rest! (*User assumes ALL liability of fertility issues and anything lasting longer than 4 hrs)

Just heard from John, those dates wont work for him. So, one of the other venues will have to work. Let me read the thread and list them so I can debate what one will work best.
Places that have accommodations for me and the missus to stay, a place to cook/eat, beer fridge/cooler, place for bonfire and drinking with get top vote
Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Jan 31 2011, 04:08 PM
Doc, Is there a size on those large retainer ring pliers? Or are they just Big Fuching Pliers?
Posted by: Root_Werks Jan 31 2011, 04:28 PM
I'll keep my eyes on this thread, whenever it is, I'll make it.
Posted by: Jakeodoule Jan 31 2011, 05:26 PM
Sorry fella's.
Wish I could host this party again. It was a blast.
Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jan 31 2011, 09:40 PM
Okay Mike, the shop in Seattle is out due to my brother not knowing if there will be enough space and the good ol liability deal. However, Dave, the owner of Triad is situated in Lacey and says he would welcome the clinic at his shop. He has a few spare boxes there as well.

Hey Doc, You can have all that at my place but I'm way off the beaten path
on the Olympic Peninsula, 15 mi before Sequim. There is also a nice Casino 5 mi down the road. I'm interested in your class, if it's closer to Seattle or in my Garage
Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 31 2011, 10:40 PM
The people decide. Crandle's house is in the mix as well. Where will people go?
Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Jan 31 2011, 10:51 PM
Tony lives in a beautiful area but it is a ways out of the way. Crandall lives in a easy place to go and is in the middle. Triad is a bit closer to Oregon for the Oregonians that would like to come and has a nice shop.
I down for all of the above

I will go wherever I can park my jeep to sleep, drink, eat and have fun! Oh yeah, Rebuild a Transmission too! Is Griots garage around there?
Where are you located Crandel Clan? I'm kinda scared, It's like the roosters coming to the wolves den?
It's a 8+ hr. drive for me to Seattle!
Posted by: Mr.242 Jan 31 2011, 11:23 PM
I chatted with my bro 6Freak and he is celebrating his son's 18th Birthday tonite. He said he does have room to host and will have a location to have people around to talk a good story, bonfire, and lie.
He has lots of room for camp trailers, tents, etc. AND a couple teenage boys who would make perfect designated drivers if someone needed a ride to a hotel after some
Triad is a good location...might be lacking the bonfire story telling part.
But sounds like we got some TRANNY stuff happen'n for sure.
Posted by: plays with cars Jan 31 2011, 11:38 PM
Where ever you do it, please make sure it has a fence. Need a place that those of us who can't decide if we want to rebuild or not can hang out. (get it? on the fence).
Seriously though, how many trannys can one expect to be able to do in a day?
Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Jan 31 2011, 11:40 PM
One can be done on Saturday and one on Sunday! I've seen it and helped with it.
Posted by: JRust Jan 31 2011, 11:47 PM
I'm good with Dave & Triad or Mike's. Whatever works
Posted by: 6freak Jan 31 2011, 11:58 PM
I can offer ,,, ....I have spare room for the good Dr and his wife(comfy queen bed)actually i have 3 spare rooms and an RV that will sleep 6 ,,,an acre of grass for camping lots of room.Big shop,,compressor,,hotels within a few miles,,fire pit for the good Dr`s guitar,,Parts store within walking distance.and just about 5 miles to Griot`s garage(Drew) and mite be able to set something up with Richard Griot`s and get someone`s car polished up,,,,the little women dont work that weekend so she could take all the ladys shopping and site seeing...Just wanted to toss out the option , and most of the PNW guys know where i live and even a few canucks been here...so just throwing it out there ....Let me know

Stay tuned for the raffle.

All my mental health workers requested transfers
I don't get it. The good news is....I'm in. I'll probably be bringing two boxes; one out of my car and the other is a reportedly good box that I'd been planning on putting in as is.
BTW Troy, I was gonna let you use the two-post lift I just put in, but now.....

Having the date in the title, you expect me to be able to notice things like that?
Can I just bring the transmission I did last time. It's never been in the car, but I was too drunk to remember anything I did. I sure would like to learn something this time.
Hey anybody got one that you want me to assemble? Free labor here, I'll work for beer.....shit then I won't remember what I did

Will figure out attendance totals as the date gets closer.....dinner will be served.
Because if we eat at lunch no one will get any work done and the smell factory Dr. will not make it safe inside the garage.

It's always a party in the PNW son! Especially when the Doc is there!

so i might have to bring down some marinated steak bites to nibble on [the guys that made it to Garrets get together had some... not as good as the bbq and atomic buffalo turds!]
Posted by: championgt1 Feb 1 2011, 11:21 PM
I don't have a box that needs rebuilt, but I will be there for the spectacle.
Griots has a deal called caffiene and gasoline the first Saturday of every month. The 7th happens to be the first Saturday. In January they fired up a Mclaren F1 car. This month they are firing up a Mclaren can am car. It starts at 8am and goes until 10am. Just a heads up.

I'm up for whatever happens! Friday evening you will see me there.
AND THE WIFE????..JUST TRY`N TO GET THE WIFE HELP WITH THE PLANS
The wife isn't going to be with me on this one, She will at WCR 2011. I'm going stag on this event!!!
I figured that the doc would want to start at 9am. He did (tryed) the same thing last clinic.

I've got some spare parts and some tools I can bring over including a 1st gear slider welded to a pipe and a coupe of big sockets. I can provide a bed in giggle. Maybe I'll see about some beer from the local brewery.
I don't think I'll have any projects but, it's great fun watching other people work and there is nothing better than watching other people sweat.

A bed in giggle? I would rather have a giggle in bed

Mike, let me know if you need a hand getting anything ready. I would be glad to stop by and give you a hand.
Posted by: Todd Enlund Feb 3 2011, 01:50 AM
I'll put it on the calendar, and will probably be there to watch and cause trouble.

I did the Griotts tour last Saturday with the club. Man, they have a fantastic facility. Soap and wax must be doing good.

Let us know dates...we would love to come meet some fellow teeners, meet the doctor and watch, eat food, etc....sounds like a blast.

May 7th and 8th. Come on up!
Posted by: 6freak Feb 5 2011, 12:47 PM
Noel is coming with me so no 914 rides unless you have 2. I will be renting a car for the time so we can tour around. I plan on starting at 9am sharp on Sat. Depending on how Sat goes, Sun can be a little later.
we have two factory six`s to play with that weekend....and if mark got hes going it would be three...fat chance of that
The Griot`s thing will have to be early Saterday AM! ...go early spend and hour and then come back for the clinic by 9am( Just an idea)...If your not from around here your gonna wanna see some of the car`s there , So make time for it...you wont see them anywhere else
I open for idea`s on when we can go see Griots

Do we really need to go there?
Good news though, I'm hooking up with Jeff (Sixnotfour) this week to get the last parts of my motor, final suspension pieces are on order but back ordered until end of the month. The excuses are going away quickly. Until then I'll be running with you in GTU in the 4-cyl because I think the -6 will be running this year.
One outstanding wish is to build a box for the -6 instead of running the stock -4 box that's in it now. The doctor's clinic is timely.
Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 7 2011, 10:26 AM
Doc,
Saturday was the first time I've touched my 914 in 9 weeks. It's been in winter storage. I still want you to go through the tranny and this clinic would probably be my best opportunity to pull it and let you have at it. Time hasn't been a friend of mine lately though.
Question:
If I show up and drink beer, generally stay out of the way, does it cost the standard fee? (totally willing to pay whatever, not trying to be cheap here). I'm not really interested in learning how to rebuild a tranny. Just want to hand over the mulah and have it done. I'd F' it up.
If I can actually pull my tranny out, but too lazy and stupid to go through it at the clinic, would you be willing to go through it? Of course paying the going rate.
I need to see if I can get my 914 back home and up on jackstands.
Thanks for putting all this together. What a unique event!
Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 7 2011, 10:52 AM
Dan, if I build it there is a fee, and I will do that for you there. No worries. PM and we will sort it out. Maybe I will have my wife build it since she will be there If you are short on time, I would understand me doing it. Otherwise, it doesnt make sense as I have taught some pretty dense people how (its ok, they dont know that I am talking about them ).
I guess since Griots is so close I would like to see it as well, but it would be a short trip.
Jon, when is AX practice? Depends. The weekend is dedicated to teaching/learning with some drinking and eating
Dave, you are always welcome. Not sure if I need anything. I'll let you know.

I may ask if I can codrive with you a few events if you don't mind. My brother in law should have his car up and running and it too will be in GTU. I know he wants me to codrive with him but until his car is running I am GTU 914less.

Quit your whining and get there and play.
I'm going to put a 19mm sway bar back on the front of the red car and run GTU until I get the -6 going (if I get the -6 going). John, get a bar for yours and let's go scare the fully prep'd GTU cars like Crandal's. See you guys out there Saturday? I need to finish adjusting valves and get the car off of the jack stands to see if adjusting the shifter got me 2nd and 4th gear back. After the last event I had to use the odd number gears to get home. Still not sure exactly what went wrong.

I will send the check this week, I'm also looking for a transmission to rebuild since I don't want to rebuild the one I have in the car at the moment, I hope to get the car up and running in the next weeks so I don't want to drop the tranny in April (no time, a lot of travel). Who has a tranny which need a rebuild and is willing to sell?
Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Feb 13 2011, 11:07 PM
I am sure we can find a few if you need. Triad has a few boxes sitting there and I know of a wall o 901s where I may be able to get one if nobody has one to sell you.

Perfect! Once I get my car on the road I plan to drive it during the summer (WCR
) and then get the tranmission and engine out again during the winter months and do some work which I didn't do this time. Let me know if you found one, no hurry at the moment but before May.

Pull your stacks so that we can at least inspect the pinion teeth and make sure your boxes are worthy of rebuild or as parts.

Hi Doc, I'm In,
and just bought a spare box on Evilbay. it should arrive this week, I have to let the smoke clear before I drop 3 bills so momma dosn't come unglued. If the air miles thing dosn't work out let me know, I have a few 10K I could spare.
The $$ will be heading your way soon.....

I may need to reconsider.......it would help with part of my time issue for getting stuff fixed on the car......
Would anyone be up for tackling my trans for me if I kick the doc some scratch???
I'd need to get it pulled, drained, cleaned & delivered before April 15th. After that, I have no time until June.

I live in South Everett if you want to drop the box off at my house sometime. I'd be happy to do the rebuild for you.Cool. Thanks Jon. I'll decide for certain w/in the next week and get back to you (and Doc). I should hopefully have enough of the garage cleaned out that I can get the car in this weekend (that's the plan anyways). Sitting outside this winter has taken it's toll on her.

This should help maintain my sanity. For a couple weeks there, I sort of had the car for sale........ Don't know what the hell I was thinking.
Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Feb 24 2011, 11:05 AM
You got it buddy
I live in South Everett if you want to drop the box off at my house sometime. I'd be happy to do the rebuild for you.Cool. Thanks Jon. I'll decide for certain w/in the next week and get back to you (and Doc). I should hopefully have enough of the garage cleaned out that I can get the car in this weekend (that's the plan anyways). Sitting outside this winter has taken it's toll on her.

Get off your ass Chris. I may not be able to attend the Clinic either.
I just had a family thing come up that will need the money instead. Nothing crazy, just need to funnel the money elsewhere. But there is a glimmer of hope I still can make it!
I still want the trans Jamie (sent Doc the money) and I still want the parts Doc. It's the registration and travel money that is being sent elsewhere.

My father and I are planning to attend. One of is going to be a paying student the other an observer, one box as of now. When is the dead line to pay? I start work next week, so I will have to wait for my paycheck or sell some parts before then. Anyone looking for some stainless heat exchangers in washington?

Are the stainless heat exchangers for a 2.0??? If yes I might be interested, are they in good shape?
Posted by: Loser_Cruiser Feb 24 2011, 12:41 PM
Not to hijack but to answer No. They are the 1.7/1.8 flavor. In very good shape though.
Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 24 2011, 03:53 PM
FYI, if you want to do two people working on the same box, that is cool for the price of one. Basically, dont abuse me If you are all in it to build one box and learn, that is fine and no need to pay for two people. The payment is for one or more boxes. One or more per person, etc.
Glad that people getting things figured out. Chris, Jon and I will take good care of you.
If anyone can not make it and needs one built, I can do it there.
As for deadline, I think I will have enough soon to make it worth while so just do the best you can.
Drew, PM me if I can help you.

Posted by: Root_Werks Mar 9 2011, 12:53 PM
The tipping point for me attending is finding an H for my 5th. Anyone have one? I don't want my 914 on jackstands for more than a couple of days this summer.
If I can't find an H gear, the tranny will stay in this summer and I'll just have to tackle it another time.

I could use one too. Maybe even 2 but I doubt I can spare the coin before. Maybe a group buy on "H" gears??? What say you Evil
Posted by: plays with cars Mar 9 2011, 11:49 PM
How about a 'U' fourth? How hard and $$$ are they to come by? Playing with the gear charts I've convinced myself that an A-GA-N-U-ZA box is the right compromise for me to keep a decent cruising box with good splits for my 2.4E motor. I have all of the gears but the 'U'.
Also, at some point in the future I know I will "need" (at least that's how my wife always says it with her fingers quoting in the air around the word need). Anyway, I will "need" a locking differential. If I set up the box now with an open diff, how much rework is there to put another diff in it at a later date? Should I just wait to do it all at once?
Posted by: Dr Evil Mar 10 2011, 01:16 AM
I am working on an H gear for Dan. Sale is pending, I have to buy the whole tranz.
A U gear is harder to come buy than an S gear. Take an S gear and flip it and you have a U. However, a U gear is one tooth away from a V gear, which is a stock 914 gear. I doubt you would feel the difference....other than in your wallet.
Why anyone would want a locked diff is beyond me, unless you mean an LSD. If you plan on messing with your diff, time to do it is when the tools and people are available, IMHO.
Posted by: PeeGreen 914 Mar 10 2011, 01:46 AM
I have an X gear sitting around if someone needs it.

My timeline:
Go get my 914 and for a few weeks. Around the last week in April, pull the tranny and clean it up for the clinic.
I'll send my starter out for re-furb while I'm at it and probably do a new clutch.
Posted by: Eddie914 Mar 26 2011, 02:28 PM
I am definitely in for the clinic since my current transaxle went KABLAMOO yesterday at the track.
I will be bringing at least two. The previous trans started getting very noisy and dropping lots of junk in the oil about two years ago. I replaced it with the ebay unit that went KABLAMOO yesterday when it lost reverse and 1st (backed out speedo unit?)
I will be trading for another replacement tomorrow. Depending on how it tests. I may bring three.
Will Dr. Evil be bringing a supply of seals or gaskets?
Thanks
Eddie
Posted by: Dr Evil Mar 27 2011, 06:30 PM
I can bring gasket sets, but since I make no money on them and you can source them from places like GPR yourself, feel free to do so if it is jusst as easy for you.
Are you a for sure builder? I look forward to the autopsy of your broken box

I have some very bad news We had our scheduling meeting last night and shit got bumped around. Even though I told the upper years that I spent money and had obligations, they scheduled me for med service during my time off for this clinic and will comp me in week after next. I didnt need the week after next off!
I am so sorry about this. I guess this is what I get for trying to do too many things at once. I will of course refund all of the $$ as soon as I can regenerate it (some will be delayed, if you dont mind then speak up so I know who needs it back first).
This blows

Okay 914 peeps, we're talking eats and BBQ for this event. I will gladly do the prep and cooking for this event. I'll bring the Binford and have her set up for a good grubbing.
Need input on what you would like to see: Lunch or Dinner on Saturday?
I can do Baby Back Ribs or Pulled Pork Sandwhiches.
I believe I can do a whole slab of ribs + slaw + cornbread per person at $20 a person.
Dinner would be my thought, allows tending and cooking all day. Allows trannies to be complete and hands to be cleaned up. When I did my rebuild clinic it was a simple sandwhich and kept working thru the day.
Who's in?
(Dr. Evil, I will also get you some oysters for the Saturday snacks too)

I highly recommend pulling your side cover plate to inspect your pinion gear prior to the clinic to see if there will be a problem with your gear box. I have spare R/P but will not bring them with me unless I know that they are needed.
If you dont know how to pull the side cover, let me know and I will post a how to.

Just ordered a couple gasket kits. I've got a few spare tailshifts for parts. Although 2 of them say core on them & one of them has no input shaft . Which means maybe the case could be used if someone has a bad one. LOL! Felt a little dumb as I didn't notice it until I got home. It has the diff in it still. didn't really notice it being any lighter than the other trannies either . Maybe I'll fine more in there than I expect .
Either way I should have parts to spare. Including the one you asked me to bring DR

I know it. I finally got the car in the garage..........barely. And I've already started working the 65+ hour work weeks. Fortunately I've got Saturdays off (for the most part), so I'm going to try to get it pulled tomorrow.....with a bit of luck. Then I still need to get the thing cleaned up and either get it to Jon, or arrange transport of the trans to Jon's.
We'll see, I may even be able to make it on Saturday......but I likely won't know until 9pm the night before.....

Cool, Michelle wants to join the fun. She's always liked the local 914 crowd.
I think we got our official last drive in the 914 yesterday before the tranny comes out. The sun actually poked out and it really warmed up. We drove around for a couple of hours before some clouds started rolling back in. Nice to get a drive in before it's up on jackstands. I think that'll be this weekend?

Looks like I need to get caught up on the program. just sent in my $ to attend. I am sad to report that I am required to attend a Rotary event Saturday night. It the annual auction and since someone else paid for my dinner, I can't stiff them. I might be able to come back laer that evening. If this clinic is anything like the last one showing up at 11:00 for a late night toast (or three) wouldn't be out of the question.
Wasn't there a thread on what we needed to bring for snacks or splitting the cost of the potty?
Posted by: PanelBilly Apr 18 2011, 09:45 PM
I have taught some pretty dense people how (its ok, they dont know that I am talking about them ).
Hey don' talk about me like that
Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 19 2011, 05:25 AM
Billy is in
Posted by: Root_Werks Apr 19 2011, 09:01 AM
Wow, this is quite the list we've got going!
Posted by: Mr.242 Apr 19 2011, 09:33 AM
Okay 914 peeps, we're talking eats and BBQ for this event. I will gladly do the prep and cooking for this event. I'll bring the Binford and have her set up for a good grubbing.
Need input on what you would like to see: Lunch or Dinner on Saturday?
I can do Baby Back Ribs or Pulled Pork Sandwhiches.
I believe I can do a whole slab of ribs + slaw + cornbread per person at $20 a person.
Dinner would be my thought, allows tending and cooking all day. Allows trannies to be complete and hands to be cleaned up. When I did my rebuild clinic it was a simple sandwhich and kept working thru the day.
Who's in?
(Dr. Evil, I will also get you some oysters for the Saturday snacks too)
So I will go with what works for me! Will take donations for the dinner meal. Will need a count on how many MOUTHS are there to eat. I will begin preparing on Wednesday before the event.
BBQer's choice
Meal:
Try a little "wide open throttle" dish (grilled half shell oysters), for those who can handle it.
"Tranny Tear-down" (bacon wrapped Jalepeno's)
Working in a good "gear stack" (pile of BBQ meats)
Add a 'sychro' (slaw and/or beans)
Finally: 'cool down lap'. (driver/self sponsored cold beverage)
A custom "Dr. Evil 90w BBQ Sauce" will be created for this event (a little touch of 'shut the hell up' and a bunch of 'I'm a Doctor, trust me')
MEAT Posted by: Dr Evil Apr 19 2011, 11:18 AM
If anyone is planning on spectating (so your not on the list) and wants to eat make sure you give Mark notice so he can make enough grub!

Just wanted to give some more props to our host, Mr. C.
We talked yesterday and he offered his truck to me for the week so I would not have to spend on a rental! What a guy
My wife and I are always shocked/pleased about the people we meet here. They are generous, just like us

I want food . Although no oysters or the atomic things. Meat Love it!
Mike is a cool dude. Especially if he has his crown to fall back on . Hey Mike do I still have a bed in the trailer?
Look what I found on my doorstep? (forgot the pics but 3 sets of seal/gasket kits) I'm ready to build some tranny's now

I'd like to spectate and eat.
Is there room to set up a tent or dry place to lay out a sleeping bag? I'm trying to save my money for transmission parts for future build.
I can bring my own BEvERages (with enough to share of course) and chip in for food.
Posted by: rohar Apr 22 2011, 02:31 PM
Thought I'd stop by Saturday morning to spectate/meet and great. If anyone needs a tailshifter core, I'll bring it with me but I don't want to drag it home. Thinking of throwing a pair of fattys in the cooler for the grill. One german and one mexican.

What's a Mexican fatty?
Boy am I asking for it
Posted by: Mr.242 Apr 23 2011, 03:49 PM
I have a tailshift that I grabbed that has the rear mounting tabs broken off. It appears this tranny sat for a long time and hasn't been used in years. I will bring that and maybe it has some good pieces in it that someone can use. Someone might be able to grab the tailcone off another and have a pretty good tranny....who knows.
Dr. Evil....enjoy the $4.15/gallon diesel. YIKES!

What's a Mexican fatty?

There's 3 answers to that question. One'll get ya busted, the other two are a bit heavy on cholesterol and only one of those you can ever tell anyone about after indulging.
I have no intention of getting busted and we should all be able to talk about our escapades later.
A "Fatty" is a filling of your choice (I use cream cheese, jalepanios, tomatoes etc. for my "mexican" fatty) wrapped in pork sausage, then wrapped in bacon and smoked or grilled until you just HAVE to have it. Imagine what a griller would think of a turducken.
A fatty:
A german fatty is pretty much the same thing except with spatzel, sauerkraut and cheddar in the middle. Unless you're in Bavaria, then it's all those from Hessen. On the up side, you never need a compass in Germany. The wide ones are always north.

Finally got the motor & trans out of the car last night. Going to try to get the trans separated from the motor and cleaned up for a possible delivery next weekend.
Going to take advantage of the motor being out to tend to a couple other things before it all goes back together in June/July or so.

I was going to be a last minute show until last week. Doc, the Teener ran like crap in Tahoe cause she blew cylinder #4. I took her out for the first time since then and thought maybe it was just the valvesneeding adjustment. Nope! So, thanks to Jamie (jrust) I will hopefully be picking up a motor next week. Well actually the wife saw what you had told me about. She went and decided to call the guy herself and worked out a deal. It was a very nice surprise! Anyways, if things go well than I should have the Teener ready for the WCR! Sorry to be missing this event but I need a motor more than a rebuilt trans. Im sure the Doc will be out here again and I will attend that future event. Good luck and have fun everyone.

I was "suppose" to pull the tranny out this last weekend. But Saturday was 70 degrees, so we drove the 914 instead.
I'll start the pull process over the week and have it all ready by this weekend. Ensures I won't be pulling an all-nighter to be ready for the 7th.
Posted by: Daiberl Apr 25 2011, 08:42 PM
Bad news, good news. We put an offer on a house in Lake Forest Park and the seller accepted the offer . That means I will not be able to attend the clinic and do my tranny because I don't want to drop the tranny in my car and I don't wnat to spend money at the moment to buy another tranny I will try to come down and watch for some time. Already informed Dr Evil and asked whether he will do another one next year, my tranny is leaking and the syncros are not the best, hope to be able to attend the next one.

. What do you say gents? Have him drive it there & we pull it to rebuild it. Then put it back in?Jamie, thanks for the offer. I simply fear that if I drop the tranny I will not be able to get it in before we move 2 weeks later (if everything works out with the bank). I also have my 996 (which is the best car I ever had) listed for sale, if I'm able to sell the car in the next week I will try to get another tranny and attend but the market for Porsche 996 is DEAD
All the people seem to fear catastrophic engine failures on 996 and Boxster, in reality these are great cars. So let's see what the next few weeks bring, I will come down, either for looking around and learning or for doing a tranny. At the end the house has priority at the moment because happy wife happy life

All home grown pork. Never touched water. Goat milk only. The bacon is divine. Don't do it more than once every two or three months or you'll need to keep the phone number of a good cardiologist in your wallet.

Good news, Bad news, I won't be able to make it, although I was just planning on being a spectator on Sat.
Good news, for you guys, the food and beer consumption, I wont be able to make it, I will be able to drop off a tail shift for parts on Friday on my way back from Sea-tac if it will be any help for parts.
Turns out I have work, travel, and work come up, I have been off for 2 weeks and when the job hits next week I have to be there.
I will make it to WCR so I will see you PNW's there.
Send me the Clinic info and I will do my best to drop off the tail shifter for parts when I travel to / from the Airport, gratis, as they say south of the border.

I still need to clean the transmission up, but it's out and almost ready. I want to pull the side cover off and prep as much as I can.
Today I also decided to thwart the retarded raspy sound that farts out the bursch muffler. I added a mini-glasspack. When everything gets back together, we'll see how it sounds. Hopefully a little smoother and muffled.
Mister Evil, should I pull anything else off the transmission to help make things go easier?

pulled my side cover off, took some pictures. Anything abnormal?
sorry if the pictures are crap, I only had my cell phone
Those pics suck, but things look good enough. The input shaft seal is roached. No biggie.

I'll be there! I am bringing three transaxles.
Can I pay there or do I need to pay in advance?
The gearboxes I am bringing:
1.) This transaxle came in my teener when purchased in 2003 mated to a carbed 2.7L six. It is a tailshift transaxle that was converted to sideshift by the previous owner. It was supposedly rebuilt. It ran quiet and shifted well. The 2.7 was replaced with a 3.2 in 2006. In 2008 this transaxle began whining in 3rd gear. Oil changes revealed lots of gold colored debris. There is also a pulled stud for the sideshift console (previously repaired with a helicoil).
2.) Sideshift transaxle bought as a spare. Installed in 2008 when #1 started getting noisy. This unit ran quiet and shifted well other than 2nd gear synchromesh was a bit weak. The speedometer drive gear punched a hole in the rear case in March 2011. 1st and reverse were no longer operable. The oil revealed lots of gold colored debris. The drain plug magnet was full of silver/grey material.
3.) Sideshift transaxle bought locally in March 2011. Resealed and installed for testing purposes. Runs quiet and shifts well EXCEPT first gear does NOT engage fully. The ring and pinion look good. The oil looked fairly clean. The drain plug magnet contained a fair amount of silver/grey material.
I am hoping to be able to make one good gearbox and possibly one spare.
See you there ... if I can remember how to get to Mikes!
Cheers,
Eddie

I couldn't wait and started pulling my tranny appart last night.
Actually I pulled the side cover off, shift selector arm out (done that before to replace seals) and then pulled the back sections off. Everything looks really clean and smooth. Nothings marked or scored. It does lead me to a question about gaskets though. Note:I made sure to leave them on and intact.
Mine are yellow or tan-ish in color and I have three of them between the main case and intermediate plate. But my gasket/seal kit only has black gaskets.
I thought I have read they gasket colors (thickness) is a really big deal.
Is my seal/gasket kit worthless?

The fricken house smells so gosh darn good and there is no BBQ meat to eat.

Oh yea....about 5 dozen oysters for grilling too!
Oh man, there will be some good eats!

Posted by: Root_Werks May 6 2011, 03:42 PM
I think mine should go pretty fast. I've pulled most of it appart and inspected already. Not that I'm a tranny surgeon.
But the unit only has 100k miles on it (the whole 914 only does). It's original and doesn't look abused.
I might be able to get away with a few basic parts, slap my H and X gears on, assemble and done.
Tranny shifted perfectly, never made noise etc. So I'm hoping once Dr. Evil has a chance to look it over, he says the same thing. "Slap it back together!"
Posted by: aircooledtechguy May 6 2011, 06:40 PM
I'll be coming first thing in the morning just to watch, poke fun and hang out. Does anyone have in their parts stash a good working fresh air box for the front, or at least a good fan that they could bring with them tomorrow?? I'm in the market and will be happy to buy one if someone brings one for me. I let the smoke out of mine and they never seem to work once that happens. . .

This one was off jackstands and driving out at 12:29am.
29 mins off the prediction to be done at midnight. A few key people were under the thing working like crazy and hooking up all the essentials.
it was a long day and the ODOR and TOXIC released from the Dr. Evil fart factory could clear the entire building!
He's like a fricken Gremlin that has specific rules so you don't end up DEAD. However, he often doesn't warn when he let's loose. When someone turns and runs.....you too better just run. Don't wait for the smell to pierce your life. Today will be worse because all the BBQ, Jalepeno's, and oysters have had HOURS to brew smells that a terrorist wouldn't even use on their enemies.
@Rohar.
Thanks for the Fatties. Despite the threat of a cardiac arrest upon eating them......
They didn't take long to be eaten up! Pretty darn tasty.
@PanelBilly.
Thanks for cutting up the Atomic Buffalo Turds! They too disappeared quickly.
@6Freak.
Thanks for cleaning up your garage. It's the cleanest I have EVER seen it. The venue has held everyone and being in Tacoma, it's bonus no one got shot at or we didn't hear gun fire. Finally, your 11pm entertainment and tango with Captain Morgan was, well........artistic.

@Mr.242, @6Freak, one of you should grab the beef ribs in the fridge and cook them, they'll go bad in a couple of days. They're a bit fatty, but if you cook them slow they're the beef version of bacon, and who doesn't like bacon?
@NORD. If you'da given me a heads up on the pickled herring, I'da hung out 'till then and drove through the night to get home!

I appreciated the help getting me on the road. Pretty damn cool ecosystem of 914 folks.
Big THANK YOU to Mr. C and family for hosting. Also for the great BBQ.
Dr. Evil. THANK YOU. Two words for you. Gas-X and Butter. Former is....well easy to understand....second is the trans was smooth as silk on the way home.
To the guys that helped me get on the road...I owe you! I will get the shifter springs sorted out soon.
I connected one vac hose last night and found one this morning. Everything is running great now.
Best and looking forward to linking up soon. If you need anything let me know.

Ended up not getting home till a bit after 1.....lots of stops. I didn't even bother unpacking the car until this morning/afternoon (didn't regain consiousness untill almost 11) before heading off to work.
It was good to see everyone again. Good times tearing up trannies w/ JRust again. Shall we do it agian in another 2 years?

Mike C. - Thanks for letting us into your home and running amuck.
Mark C. - Thanks for providing the meat.
Dr. Evil - Thanks for all the help and advice durring my rather impatient process of tearing into my transmission, not following instructions, speaking out of turn in class, bassically being the problem child when school was in session.
I put money in the food bucket, if you guys wind up short, please don't hesitate to let the group know. Michelle and I are happy to put more to the cause if needed and certainly don't expect anyone to pay for what I comsumed and drank.
Thanks again everyone, what a fun day!
BTW - The tranny is back in the 914. I still have to hook up the little stuff, but I'm very excited to try out my new gears!

What a great weekend .
Thanks to the Mike's (Crandal & the good DR )
Thanks to Mr. BBQ ___Mark
Well worth the measly $20 donation for food. If only I could eat that good all the time
I was able to get 2 transmissions built. Had a few wrinkles. Like putting my Dif in after my stack & buttoning it all up. Would have been a bit of a shock when I put it in & had 5 gears in reverse Luckily I noticed when I started on the second one that I did it wrong. Only downside was having to take it all back out so I could put it in right. Went pretty well except for when I was popping the tailcone off. I was a miffed at having to pull it apart. While I was hitting the ears up with my hands. It decided to let go & meet my forehead . Amazingly with everyone there. Nobody saw me do it . The second one went much better.
Oh yeah HUGE thanks to Mrs Crandall for her hospitality. Even on mothers day she was cooking for us . Make sure you bring here to WCR Mike if she can get the time off.
It was also great to meet Noel (Mrs ). She was helping with the food & lightening the mood after one of many bombs dropped by the doctor

I thoroughly enjoyed Saturday. Absolutely nothing to do other than watch, help here and there, poke fun etc. It was great to see everyone and meet some new faces that I hadn't met before. Always a pleasure to be verbally abused by the good Dr.!!
BIG THANKS to 6Freak (and his wife) for hosting this time. I got such a kick out of watching Sam play in the puddles and just be a care-free kid.
Mr242; What can be said; the eats were unbelievable. I'm not ashamed to say that after I got home, I was laying in bed dreaming of his meat!! 
Rohar; I think your fatties lasted about 1 minute once cut Thank you for sharing them. It was great to meet you!

What all these guys said. We trashed Mike's man cave like it's never been trashed before. Mark's food was incredible.....wolfing down a pulled pork/slaw sandwich with gear-oil-soaked gloves took gourmet to a new level. The Crandall clan has got it goin' on. And the Dr; what can I say that hasn't already been said. He was everywhere, passing on wisdom in his inimitable style...and that's not all he was passing. That boy has a future.
Didn't take many pictures because I was trying to stuff all this info between my ears so it would come back out through my fingertips. There were many blockages along the way.
A little sampling of the crowd, by no means everybody. I'm sure there were more than 30 people in attendance.
Dan Root took about 5 minutes to get his box disassembled and reassembled with new gears, making the rest of us look very bad until the Dr. 'gently' explained the error of his ways.

FABULOUS!
THANK YOU CRANDALL'S!
THANK YOU DR. EVIL!
I showed up with three POS transaxles and finished buttoning up two good gearboxes by about 1:30 am on Sunday morning. After a quick nap on the couch in the 6Freak mancave, I left a bit after sunup and was home in time to help the kids make Mother's Day breakfast.
Thanks to all!
Cheers,
Eddie

I had some family stuff to take care of so I missed the clinic.
One thing I did learn from this thread is that I need to find a better looking crowd to hang with,
I remember back in the day (even Troy looked like a stud) when the drivers looked good and the cars were a little rough. Now it's the opposite.
You tranny guy's are not a very photogenic group.

If there weren't enough good things coming from this event, thanks to PeeGreen914, it looks as there will be a couple new products for 914s showing up on the market.
The guy's got an amazing, and completely random mind. If this works, we'll all be in a better place in a few months...

tools aquired.....very nice #3 craftsman driver ( teal strip on handle)
black handled 1" wood chisel
6" drift punch
Kelty360 is look`n for a 14mm deep snap-on
you all know what its like to loose one from a set .....its no longer a set
I will dig around more when i get home
Posted by: Root_Werks May 12 2011, 11:19 AM
I'll check my little tool bag, don't think I have any extra's though.
Post Tranny Clinic update:
Tuesday I got my 914 back on the ground for the initial drive. After a little shifter adjustment, everything was 100%.
New shifter bushings
New clutch
New X 4th and flipped H 5th
Tranny didn't need any parts, so it was a simple re-seal and swap out the gears.
Gotta say, I love the new X and H gears. Very well spaced for the 2.0 engine and I have no problem pulling 5th even from 55mph on slight grades (We're basically at sea level). I drove it around Tuesday for a while and again today to work. Loving the taller gears. I can really stretch the 914 legs now without sounding like I'm going to grenade the engine.
edit: the little glass pack I welded into the Bursch system made a big difference. No more anoying raspy sounds and the whole tail pipe note is much quieter now. That combined with the lower freeway rpm's and the whole driving on long trips should be much, much more enjoyable.

I am afraid that at the end of the trip, it was not my flatus, but my emesis that will be remembered by the poor folks riding with me to the airport.....and those on the freeway near by.
I got sick on something, could have been the booze and 60+ raw oysters the night before, and on the way to the airport I proceeded to paint the side of Mark's dads truck Beef and asparagus all down the side I still feel like I have a bit of appendicitis.
The event was spectacular and could not have happened if not for the generosity of Mike (6freak) and the support of his wife Ronna who kept us all well taken care of. Nice place, nicer folks. I think poor Mike didnt know what he was in for
The vacation part was also an absolute win thanks to the aforementioned folks and Mark and Jen, Stu and Linda (let us use there smaller truck as our vehicle), Ann and Ray at the beach house, and Jakeodoule for the recommendation to stay at McMinemin's Edgefield in Portland.
Noel and I are very serious about planning on relocating to the PNW when we are able in a few years. We fell in love with the place (and the weather was deceptively nice)
There was some real talent at the clinic, too. Many picked up the lessons and went on to need only my QA with no adjustments at the end. I am very proud of that
I am still recovering from this event...I hope to be better by the next one

HELP! I was at the clinic working on the 912 tail-shift boxes, and ended up leaving my original case there for someone to take to (I think and hope) scrap. It was the almost freakishly clean one. Well, when installing the throwout bearing on my rebuilt case, the pivot ball tore completely out. I'm not thrilled about it, but it looks like I'll need to transfer all of the guts out of this case into another, and figure out somehow how to get the right intermediate gasket thickness.
Is there any chance that the someone on this thread will remember me and what happened to that case?
Thanks,

Ummm, I spent 4 years at Wa. State University from 1986-1990; we were known for parties. In fact Playboy in the fall of '86 ranked WAZZU as to be in a class all by itself when it came to partying! We were ranked, but set aside in a class all by ourselves.
During those 4 years I lived with up to 50 guys at a time in my fraternity. I've watched many a man fall to the booze and pray to god to be a minister if he let them out alive.
Then there is Dr. Evil. You guys talk about the gas...., but what comes out the other end
Put him in a class all by himself. I would have shut down and been a huddled mass. Some 60+ oysters eaten and a 750ml of whiskey later. He is a ROCK STAR. I just can't figure out the spell he has over Noel.
But they are good together and a kick to be around. She makes him a better man. Come back soon Doc. We're growing more oysters and we'll be ready.
