The calendar shows Easter is the last weekend Sunday the 30th, might not be good.

I'm open all other days. Let's see who can host and fit thier schedule. Kelty 360 was offering his Renton Area location..

Dr. Where do we order this seal kit? Is this also the gasket kit?

PNW people lets chime in here and get this planned.

Posted by: pete-stevers Jan 18 2014, 11:47 AM

count me in as a spectator

Posted by: KELTY360 Jan 18 2014, 11:52 AM

My last conversation with Mark (Mr.242) had Dave down at Triad hosting in his shop. Mark was kind of driving the tranny clinic bus at that point so lets wait to hear from him.

Hey Steve did you ever get your fire damage sorted out?

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 18 2014, 12:28 PM

pattison lake (triad location) is a long way from everywhere. takes me 45 minutes to get there from my house.

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Jan 18 2014, 12:34 PM

I'd be in as a spectator fo'sho'. I'm really good a poking fun, getting in the way and being a general menace.

I'll bring my set of trans tools along and I'll help in any way I can. That includes beer drinking, grilling and whatever is needed. . .

I sure hope it's not the weekend of March 1st/2nd as I'll be in Hawaii. . . The rest of the month is clear for me.

Posted by: Daiberl Jan 18 2014, 12:39 PM

So far March looks very good besides the first weekend, will be on a business trip until 3/1. I might bring a transmission I have for the LE and the one from my -6 also so if someone wants to participate but needs a transmission to work on let me know

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 18 2014, 12:47 PM

Probably not going to be early March as I have Hershey at end of April. Not good to schedule things too close = burn out.

Posted by: John1180 Jan 18 2014, 02:08 PM

Interested pending final date and location.( Renton would be perfect!)

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 18 2014, 03:18 PM

Ah, Renton. I fell in love with twins (girls) from Renton, once. Bitter sweet memories.

Posted by: audio_file Jan 18 2014, 05:45 PM

Count me in as a builder. I gots a 1st gear that likes to pop out at takeoff, and a 2nd gear that likes to grind when downshifting from any speed but near-zero. A good candidate?

Posted by: AfricanHijinx Jan 18 2014, 07:56 PM

I will be out of town the first week in March. I am definitely, I have a side shift that was given to me and I don't know the state of it so this would be a great time to figure it out.

Posted by: NORD Jan 18 2014, 10:34 PM

not June. My motor is coming out soon for new heads so that would be perfect in March.

Did you guys know that Nate has a casino across from his place and a tax free chevron gas station! smokes and booze. Anacortes is a lot closer to me also.

Posted by: jsaum Jan 19 2014, 02:13 PM

I'm in I need to crack open the last one I did at the clinic and figure out why it won't stay in fourth gear.

Posted by: aircooledtechguy Jan 19 2014, 02:45 PM

It sounds like Mark (Mr.242) and Dave at Triad were planning this, so I don't want to step on any toes with an offer to host at this point. Lets hear from them first.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 19 2014, 02:46 PM

If there is ever a prob with one of the rebuilds, contact me. I havent been in the PNW for a while, this been a problem for that long? You are welcome to show up and I will tear into it for you, no charge of course. Also, you can always ship it to me, same deal.

Posted by: cary Jan 19 2014, 11:14 PM

Mr.242 contacted me last fall about doing a clinic at my place in Forest Grove. Never heard back from him ...............

I can open up 1000 to 1500 sq. ft. if need be.
Not real handy for the folks in Seattle.
But just a thought.

Could do dinner at the Grand Lodge ..........

I am looking at the last weekend in March. Does this work for everyone? If so, I will submit request tomorrow.

Just RSVPing here. Dates should be fine. Western WA preferred if possible. My son Miles will also attend barring school soccer commitments.

Posted by: Mr.242 Jan 20 2014, 09:57 PM

I've been away... sorry fellas. I was sniffing around for a place in the PNW for another Tranny Build and was trying to find a place that would host the numbers.

I'm not against Nate, Kelty, or Triad Dave places. It all depends on who and how many appear.

I'm out for March 3-21 for a major training project. The 22nd is a possibility; however, I'm sure I will be worthless. (more than normal)

I thought the 29th weekend, till I read the posts and see that it's Easter Weekend. That will get many of us in trouble.

I'm happy with my Tranny build at the moment; but do have an extra side shift I scored that could use a build. So I would possibly drain $300 too.

Dr. Evil is welcome to crash at my house and would love to catch up. Just need to set up a date! How many in the Evil Clan are making the trip?

the location is dependent on the number of attendees. if the turnout is anything like the one at mike's SPACE will be needed. there were 6 or 7 big tables? more?, and it was packed.

looking at a calendar the weekend of 4/20 is easter, so that prob wouldn't work. 4/12 might work as it's a free pass not to attend palm sunday services (for those who usually HAVE to). one of the first 3 weekends in may? after that we're into memorial day, graduations, vacations, weddings and the rest of the summer festivities. i think 500 sq ft (CLEAR, OPEN space), at a minimum, is required.

mike, are you solo for this clinic or will noel and the baby be coming along?

Why do people keep posting about April? This is MARCH we are shooting for.

Posted by: bulitt Jan 21 2014, 09:14 AM

I guess April is out then

Posted by: NORD Jan 21 2014, 10:27 AM

I could host at my house. I've got 1,200 sq ft that can be worked into 7-9 work stations and more could be added but it would get crowded then. I have a press but parts washer would have to be in a pan. There is plenty of parking. Any one staying the night, bring a sleeping bag and pillow.

The bad for some; I live 6 miles North of Bellingham nine miles South of the boarder. Airport, Bellingham International is 20 minutes away. Mike see if you can get direct flight. Or somebody can bring you up from Seattle.

Any weekend is OK.

Yes, April is out. Hershey is that month and I already have that weekend booked away from family. I dont like to spend too much time away from wife and 1yo, I only see him 15min in the morning on days I work....and I work a lot.

If March falls through, then June is the next possible. I am trying to get to Australia in May, so that is out for now.

For space, each person needs a 2'x2' space, best with room under it. You do not need to spread your parts over a vast expanse.

Transmissions are brought by the participants. If you are planning on flying up, you would have to ship it. At that cost, unless you are very interested in the clinic experience, you would be dollars ahead shipping it to me and having me rebuild it.

Posted by: KELTY360 Jan 21 2014, 01:02 PM

I hesitate to commit right now because of a work situation that should be resolved in the next couple of days. I have approximately 2+ bays in my shop so I don't think space would be a problem. I also have room for people to camp if they want. My weekends in March are pretty open so I'm flexible there. The only thing holding me back is the work thing, so if you can wait for that to be cleared up I can let you know. Otherwise, I'm out.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 21 2014, 01:08 PM

Lets tentative at Marc's, with expectation that this can change. The last weekend in March is what I am going to request off. I will submit that request now and we can suss out the location in the coming days.

Posted by: audio_file Jan 21 2014, 02:10 PM

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 24 2014, 08:53 AM

Submission is in for last weekend, 29-30, of March. This is the date we will plan for.

Now, are there locations that will not work for some people? Can we get a tentative list so that I can see if I can afford to come out??

Posted by: NORD Jan 24 2014, 10:16 AM

I'm in for box rebuild and the full show. Let me know where?

The 30th is Easter. Hope that doesn't mess up people's weekend schedule.

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 24 2014, 11:45 AM

in. i plan on doing 2 boxes and bringing a legacy wagon full of cores. if marc has enough room he's located centrally so most folks will be within an hour's drive. if the clinic should be held north of seattle i'll just get a room for the night.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 24 2014, 11:55 AM

Since when is Easter in March???

Posted by: NORD Jan 24 2014, 12:31 PM

I have a gear head calendar so it could be wrong? It has something to do with moon cycles and Good Friday. Seattle will be OK.

Posted by: KELTY360 Jan 24 2014, 12:36 PM

My 2014 calendar shows Easter as April 20.

Hey Nord, you do realize you need to get a new calendar every year, right?

Posted by: Daiberl Jan 24 2014, 02:42 PM

I'm in with one transmission.

Posted by: bradtho Jan 24 2014, 03:06 PM

If Juergen or Kevin (or anyone else) have a second box, I'd be happy to take that on and pitch in some money. I don't think I want to tempt fate opening mine up when I really don't have any complaints!

Posted by: NORD Jan 24 2014, 05:07 PM

Again I was wrong about Easter. Sorry to everyone that changed thier plans.

I do have a BMW PRO 3 calendar in the kitchen and it says that the BMW group will be seeing Easter on the 30th of March. Do I need to post a picture? Again Sorry.

Back to the Tranny Clinic. All chime in if your box needs fleshend up.

Posted by: PanelBilly Jan 24 2014, 05:53 PM

I'm in at either location. I'd prefer Marc's house because it's so much closer to home.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Jan 24 2014, 06:17 PM

Brad if you want to pay & play I have a few box's that I can provide.
I no longer need the learn'in but definitely want to hang, drink & pass gas.

Not sure how many attendees the good doctor needs to make the trip, but I'm in with either a box from Kevin or Juergen.

Let's make this happen!

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer Jan 27 2014, 08:13 PM

Count me in as well. I have one on the floor that should be fixable, one F'd core that I'm ok with letting parts out of, and one in the car that needs freshening up when I do my engine work.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 27 2014, 10:06 PM

I'll put you on the tentative list. I wont take any $$ until I have the a-ok from work on the dates.

I'm in. For certain.

Posted by: Mr.242 Jan 29 2014, 10:57 PM

Glad the Easter thing got moved.

I can get days off work once we know that Dr.Evil is coming. I'll be his driver. I've got a junky extra tranny I can open up and check for decent parts.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 29 2014, 11:12 PM

The dates are posted, I need a location now

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2014, 08:45 AM

I need to list all the possibilities and we can vote/see about availability:
- Triad shop
- KELTY
- NORD

There were more. What do y'all think?

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 30 2014, 08:56 AM

your party, pick the spot. i think a more central puget sound location might help with attendance. again, your call. figure it out.

Posted by: NORD Jan 30 2014, 11:02 AM

I agree with Kevin that Puget Sound area would be best for most but I will host if need be. I'm 100 miles North of Seattle. I have alot of room.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jan 30 2014, 01:34 PM

Man, I dont know the terrain up there. Y'all say Puget Sound area. OK, who is there???

Posted by: rhodyguy Jan 30 2014, 01:54 PM

the 'sound' covers the triad shop to nord's. prob 170 miles. if marc is game it's about mid point. which is about perfect. except for nord and nate. nord's place is just aboot as close to canada as it gets.

start an "OFFICIAL" sign up thread? should save a ton of time and scrolling.

Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 1 2014, 01:26 PM

I think we have enough. I am actually not starting a sign up thread because it will take twice as much work for me to do that and then take money. When I am ready for taking tuition, I will start that thread. I need to have confirmed time off, and make sure I have enough spare parts to cover everyone after this coming clinic in VA.

Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 13 2014, 11:08 PM

Alright folks, it has come to my attention that this clinic will have to be postponed. Way too much shit at home going on, my stock of parts are too far depleted for me to feel comfortable having all of your boxes open and needing parts, and I am running myself ragged with my day job-biz-side projects. This will happen, I promise, but I need to move it back. May is supposed to be my Australia clinic, but that has been silent for too long and I need more lead up and planning. So, perhaps May will be the next possibility. I think every other month is the soonest I can do clinics. Otherwise I am getting burnt out and I am still doing builds and stuff in between that need attention and parts.

I am always looking for cores and love to trade work for them, or cash.

I will update the first post.

Posted by: Mr.242 Feb 14 2014, 09:35 AM

No worries. This is what happens when you get all responsible with a job, family, and responsibilities.

I'm not going to be able to commit to coming in August. If I can make it, I woun't know until the day before. I'm planning a trip with my shop-car to a race the 2nd week in Sept and my weekends are going to be full as the last-minute mad-scramble sets in. I'll be there in spirit for sure though.

Posted by: stimpyvan May 27 2014, 09:52 AM

I would be interested in rebuilding a box. The final (5th) weekend of August would work for me. It is probably worth pointing out that that is also Labor Day weekend.

Juergen, you still looking to do 2 boxes? I should be available still and would be happy to kick in some money to help cover one.

Posted by: sportlicherFahrer May 27 2014, 11:45 AM

At this point it looks like I will be in. I have 2 cores and one good one. Will more than likely be upgrading my intermediate and diff.... Once we are done, I dont want to have two cores left. Just one good one to drive with. So if anybody else is looking for one to play with or hold on to.....

Posted by: Dr Evil May 27 2014, 11:59 AM

I will buy your core. It is how I am able to pay for this clinic, buying and selling parts.

If anyone has spare cores, let me know, please. I am coming out specifically for the clinic and to get cores to harvest and ship back.

Posted by: audio_file May 27 2014, 01:15 PM

I'm still up for this as a paying customer... glad to see this back on the table.

Does Labor Day weekend matter to anyone? I would want to be at a clinic if I was not the one doing it

I would like to solidify a date soon. I will put my request in and have that squared. I also need to solidify a location but have not had a response to my emails to Dave at Triad for a few days. It has been a holiday weekend, though, so I will wait until the end of the week to make a decision. So far we have a great location at Mark's (mr242) beach house (been there, this would work), a big shop with all the amenities 100mi north of Seattle, Dave at Tirad's shop. Did I miss any???

Posted by: bradtho May 27 2014, 04:27 PM

Alright well looks like you can put Juergen down for 2 this should work for me too.

Posted by: ben*james May 28 2014, 08:46 AM

the shelton location is prob 1 hour 15 minutes, maybe 2 from seattle proper. depending where the lake is located. on the olympia side or north of? i'm still in for the clinic. looks like there are a lot of cores around here. you might be shocked.

Posted by: NORD May 28 2014, 09:52 AM

I told Mike that we could have it in my garage also, that is the place 100 miles North of Seattle. 1600 sq ft, could put in 9 - 11 work spaces. Maybe the Canadians would come down for it here. Big 2 acre yard, 3 bathes and a place everyone could crash for the night. Have a press and 2 pans for parts washing.

So, I am liking the last weekend (Labor Day). I will firm that up now. However, the location is looking like between Mark's house on the sound (been there, loved it), and NORDs automotive Garage Majal. Would everyone be willing to drive up to NORDS? I know Marks and it offers some nice amenities and privacy close to the city

Alright, I did update the title to say Canada....lets see if we can lure them across the boarder

Is there anyone where for which NORDS place is too far and you would not go? I need to know if I should forget this as a possibility.

Consequently, I am still planning on snatching a hoard of boxes from Dave at Triad (whenever I hear back from him) and taking them to the location where the clinic will be the day before so I can part them before the clinic. Then, I will take the day after the clinic and return the rental van and drop off the carcasses at the scrap yard.

Things that can help me out greatly, if you can; a van (and maybe a driver) to transport the transmissions (some compensation offered as this saves me $$ for the rental), and someone to offer to take the core parts not used to the scrapper (you can keep them, or you can scrap them and keep the $$). This saves me time on the ground. If I can avoid being out there more than 4 days total this will make my day job suck less (they will lump my 12hr shifts together to make time for me to be off and it sucks), and will allow for less time away from my family (makes wife and boy happy).

Let me know if you can help a brother out.

Please also see note on getting intermediate plate bearings. If you can, do so. It will be the best thing in the long run. Contact me if you want some and I will try to locate some at a discount. More people = less $$ per person.

With Mark being near and plugged in, this helps out, too. I'll let you all know as time approaches. All the students need to know is to pay and show up I always enjoy the PNW clinics.

the proposed location is near shelton wa. about 2 hours from p-land with good traffic. better than a 5 hour hour run to near the b.c. border. that 5 hours is timing the commute perfectly too. after 3pm and it's a traffic nightmare from olympia to well past everett.

Start an "official attendee" thread. Tickets aren't going to be any cheaper at the end of July. If available they'll be at a premium. Lots-o-shite starts in august. By the way, I'm in.....

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 21 2014, 01:13 PM

I update the first post of this thread with every iteration. It seems superfluous and cluttering to have another thread for just attendance.....but I will try it. WTF

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 25 2014, 08:51 AM

Well, starting a separate thread has generated exactly 0 responses so I am posting here as it will auto reply to the folks subscribed (if they have the feature set up).

For those of you paying attention, here is an amazing offer that I highly suggest you take advantage of. I have the following kit:

999-110-012-01 Pinion shaft bearing, diff side, retail = $551.75
999-052-016-0A Pinion shaft intermediate plate bearing, retail = $220.25
999-053-025-00 Input shaft bearing, intermediate plate, retail = $249.25
999-110-008-00 Main shaft bearing, diff side, retail = $161.25

Total retail = $1182.50

My price for all 4 is $375!!!!

I am ordering the first 4 kits - 1 for me, 1 for a customers build in Norway, and 2 are available for sale with preference to the clinic attendees. I may be able to get more, but I can not afford to order them before they are sold.

As for the clinic, I am not buying my ticket until I have funds in had to do so. So far, no money has arrived (to my knowledge). I am out of town so if mailed in then I will not know until my wife tells me. I will update this info in the first post as well. All new and relevant info can be found there always, with date of update.

Posted by: audio_file Jun 25 2014, 10:23 AM

Well, i WAS about to mail you a check for the attendance fee, but now I'll just have it made out for 675, lol.

I'll take one of the two pkgs you have available.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but, Doc, are you still planning on a trip downunder anytime soon?

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 6 2014, 06:57 AM

Soon, no. Life has taken a turn here with me moving 4 hours away and taking a new job in the next couple of months. The main reason I can not give a more explicit date is because I am waiting for all of the back ground checking for my new job to be done, then I get the actual contract, then I give my 3mo notice at my current, blood sucking company. Right now I am projected to start Oct 13 and I need to talk to my new office manager about getting time off to go to Oz. Oz will happen. I have been preparing and stocking up for it for months. Either it didnt work for me one month, or for the other people another. Another consideration is that in my current employ I am just paying my bills so I can not take on any risk of debt for an Oz trip. The new job will pay much more and remove this factor.

Alright, I am still trying to un-fuck my data sheet that was lost when my computer rebooted (never happened before to excell). So, I also have confusion as screen names dont match real names and I have duplicates on my list, probably.

First, who is still owed a bearing set that paid for it?
- Jet you have two less the big bearings, that one I know.
- Blair, 912 from CA has a set

That should be it.

Second, who the hell is coming? Here is my list:

Rhodyguy - got bearings
NORD (RIP, ) - If I can get a hold of family to refund, I will and should have his bearing set for nine9three.
Jurgen - paid last time and couldnt go, covered this time
Bradtho - Jurgen's beyotch
Hank914 - paid, got bearings
Mark - Covered, host
Jet - Darren and Wife
Blair - not on this site
??? - gonna have to look up this one, no name recorded but paid
Marcus - I know who you are
Tom(nine9three) - Have you paid for the clinic? Date so I can enter it into my sheet?
J. Young - check arrived today, who are you???

Third, may of you have extra cores. Figure that one extra core should be sufficient to supply your rebuild transmission with parts. If you have other spare cores, I am interested. PM me to let me know what you have. With all the spare cores, looks like I may lose my ass on this as far as parts sales....such is life. I need to do more East clinics where the cores tend to be scarce

Also, things that can help you out:

- Table. Does not need to be huge. A 2'x2' space is sufficient for the whole build. Bring to share is nice.

- Cordless impact driver. This will expedite diassembly and reassembly. I will bring mine, but more is better.

- Hammers and punches.

- You will only need the following sockets; 10, 13, 14, 19. You can bring, but I will have, deep 30mm.

- Large snap ring pliers are nice. If you cant find, I will supply one or two sets. Not much of an issue, but it is a rate limiting step.

- Gloves, white rags (painters rags) not the red ones that leave red crap in and on everything.

- Brake cleaner. One can can do a whole transmission if you do not get crazy.

- Drain it before the clinic. If not, I will have to throw you in the sound!

I think that is it. Ask questions so I can clarify anything

Lodging: I know this location might be a tad out of the way, but it's a place.
There is the Little Creek Casino that isn't too far away and cheaper rates inside Shelton (Motel 6 and such).

There is some limited tent space on the property, yet it's not to level. We've got a shower in the house and those who need to clean up should bring bring their own shower supplies.

LUNCH: I'll have access to a grill and we can do up some simple burgers, dogs, or brats. I'm going to be building a tranny so I'm not going to be able to BBQ up things. If enough interest, I'll accept $$ donations. Otherwise bring your own lunch. I'll also try to fill a cooler with ice so one can deposit their beverage of choice to chill.

Any other inquiries: shoot me a text or call (509)553-9246 on my personal cell or PM me here.

Is it getting too late to do the trans clinic?

I am seriously thinking about pulling the tranny on the 914 and heading up for the clinic, the only problem on the tranny is the 1st and 2nd gear syncro's are worn. I also have a 1968 912 that also has the same problem and would like to learn from the 914 trans.

If too late I would like to be a spectator and help out also interested in purchasing a DVD.

Not too late. PM me and we can work out the details.

Posted by: helios Aug 20 2014, 09:15 AM

I've got a prior engagement I've committed to in the evening in Marysville...

But I may pop by and harass some old faces earlier in the day. Been a while since I've been on the ferry, so it may be a good excuse to cruise down Whidbey Island, pop across the water to Port Townsend, then back across to Edmonds.

It's either that or all the way down I-5 around Tacoma and back up. Might as well make it scenic.

And I just realized I meant Edmonds on the return trip, not Mulkiteo. I always get those 2 screwed up.

screw I-5 thru seattle. I-5, 405, 167, 512, then I-5 south.

off watch (real name?). i'll bring the set with me. bringing them all actually.
i also have an extra throw out arm pivot clip, throw out arm ball cup bushing, and the 2 plastic retaining pieces for the throw out bearing itself. all in a little over $50. we'll settle up at the clinic.

I drained my tail shifter completely and scrubbed it clean as a whistle. And I also pulled off the tail cone and took out the gears. Bringing everything with me. I got a can of break cleaner also.

I'll be there Saturday am, what time does it start?

Also, when should we expect it to wrap up?

Did any previous clinics finish in one very long day, or do they all go two days?

And I was not able to come up with a table. Should I look for a folding one from a local Costco?

Thanks!

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 24 2014, 10:06 PM

Oh ya, start around 9am and I go until we stop. This is often midnight to 2am. Some get stuff done in one day. If you want stuff done in one day it would be best if you let me do most of the work. I can assemble a box from cleaned parts in about 3min. The cleaning is the part that takes the time.

Mark, do we have a vice handy? That would help immensely, but if not we will make do.

Posted by: rjames Aug 24 2014, 11:39 PM

Just to let everyone know, I'll be crashing the party on Sunday as the Good Doctor was kind enough to offer his services to perform some warranty work on a transmission he rebuilt for me last year. I made sure it was ok with him and that I wouldn't be interrupting the instruction.

Looking forward to saying hi to everyone.

I'm listed in the first post of the thread. My ability to participate was sketchy (had just lost a pet when money was due). I am bringing 1 or 2 spare transmissions (for a total of 2 or 3) and a gasket kit.

Speaking of gaskets, because the transmissions I usually rebuild go into a race car, I use Ultra Black sealant instead of gaskets. Is that a viable option on these transaxles?

Crash on the floor?

Hi, I'm new here and was wondering if I could crash the clinic as an observer/helper. I live in Port Orchard and could bring 2 more 3/8 impacts with extra batteries, big snap ring pliers and some kind of bench with a vice if necessary. Plus torque wrenches and a small hydraulic press. Please! Save me from the Blackberry Festival!
I have been a mechanic for over 30 years, so hopefully more help than hindrance. Looking forward to taking some notes and learning the tricks.
