The important stuff ( clarified 7/17):

The gist:
- This is happening on the days of Sept 12 and 13. All day. BYOB and food. Clean up after yourself.
- This is happening at Jake Odule's in Battlefield, OR


*If you bring one or more gear boxes for rebuild then the cost is $300
*Spectating is free and you can ask questions (but will have to wear a thong on the out side of your pants so we know you are freeloading )
*The cost includes: gloves, rags, cleaners, parts trays, aluminum baking sheets for parts cleaning spots, sarcasm, foul language (when no kids around), etc.
*New parts area available through me ( I will beat any suppliers prices, let me know). Seal kits area available before hand for $40
*People are encouraged to bring cores to part out as people will potentially need more parts than I will have. Also, you all will likely deplete my stash and I will need more parts for the next 2 clinics
*The clinic is 2 full days and I will work as long as you do. I usually start at 0930 and go until after 2200 if necessary.
*PM me if you are going to be a paying guest and make sure to tell me which clinic you are going to attend.
*DRAIN your gear box before the event!
*CLEAN the out side of it a little. Not spotless, but enough to keep if from crapping up the place
*Bring cardboard to protect the facilities

This should be fun!

I'm out 19-25 July - otherwise the summer is pretty open.

Due to work commitments would prefer a Saturday or Sunday.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 16 2009, 11:22 AM

I am only busy for the 4th of July so far. The clinic does not have to be right away. It needs to be when it is best for everyone. I am likely to be interviewing starting Nov through the end of Jan so times will be more up in the air then. Fri-Sun definitely is best as most work 5 days a week, but I can do week days as well.

Posted by: my928s4 Jun 16 2009, 11:26 AM

I am gone 15-24th July, open all of August.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 16 2009, 11:37 AM

It looks like Aug will be the best bet so far.

Posted by: Todd Enlund Jun 16 2009, 11:42 AM

I'll probably be there for BS and beer, but unless there is a miracle, I won't be able to afford to rebuild the tranny.

And, unless I manage to sell the house before then, I have plenty of room if anyone needs a place to stay.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 16 2009, 11:47 AM

Um, Todd, you owe me nothing. Havent you forgotten the work that you have done and continue to do for me? Bring a box and we will handle it

Posted by: Jakeodoule Jun 16 2009, 12:17 PM

I am interested...I live in the portland area and could host as well.
guest house, Big shop with lots of room.
Only weekend I cannot do would be Aug 14th,15th and 16th.

Posted by: Shade Tree Jun 16 2009, 12:24 PM

^^^ Hey I just replaced all of the phones at the City of Battleground!

If you guys choose to come to my place, here is my contact info.
Rich Wright. 541-914-8115. My house is about 12 miles East of I-5 on hwy 126 in Walterville. There is a store and restaurant/bar next door. Plenty of room for campers and room for a few in the house. If folks want to come and don't have a tranny to work with, let me know. I need to make a call to verify but I think I could get as many 901 sideshifters as we could possibly need.

Posted by: mstein95 Jun 16 2009, 01:25 PM

August works for me - I'll be in attendance.

Posted by: jmmotorsports Jun 16 2009, 02:19 PM

First part of August or anytime in Sept. would work for me.

If you spectate you dont bring a tranny and you dont pay. If you bring a tranny you pay and it is rebuilt. Other than that, if you were determined to lay your hands on the guts of a gear box I am sure one of the many that would be there would be willing to oblige

Posted by: Todd Enlund Jun 16 2009, 07:13 PM

Mike, you need a place to stay, ride from the airport... whatever... I'm not working... no family... house to myself. Let me know.

Hey Todd, I can always come out a few days early and hang out

Posted by: KELTY360 Jun 16 2009, 11:28 PM

AS long as it isn't the weekend of the shootout at Packwood I'm in! That actually works better. I can't swing sending my tranny out this month Evil . Daughters had 2 different BBall camps this month. Kind of screwed my car budget. Plus I bought another parts car. Which will help as it gives me the extra tranny I need. I'll plan on bringing 2 up. Looking forward to it

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 17 2009, 12:42 AM

I cant take any more trannies here at the moment. My garage is full and I am back logged for the first time ever Sept is looking like the most responsible month to do it. Maybe my bus will be done and I can drive it across the country......and maybe monkeys will fly out of my ass

Both Mikes can stay here And anyone else that needs a spot is welcome. I've got lots of room. Three empty bedrooms and a living room. Unless the house sells before the clinic...

I don't think that anyone has thrown the dates out, but the Packwood Shootout is 8-9 August.

How about Labor Day weekend? 5-6 September?

Posted by: Larouex Jun 17 2009, 11:53 AM

I am out of town in Aug on 8.14 - 8.17. I can make any other dates, including Sept.

Posted by: Todd Enlund Jun 17 2009, 11:57 AM

Oh, hey... the other thread mentioned a keg. I can brew a batch of beer, and bring a 5 gallon keg. What style does everyone like? IPA, Pale Ale, Mild, Amber, Brown, Stout, Porter, Witbier, Kolsch, Barleywine...

Posted by: Shade Tree Jun 17 2009, 12:14 PM

OOOHHH. I like brown and porter . The 5th of Sept is my wedding anniversary. So if this ends up happening on that date, well, that's how my luck goes.

Posted by: Jakeodoule Jun 17 2009, 12:24 PM

Just wondering, if we've got 6-10 trani's to rebuild, will there be enough room for everyone to work? Do you do them one at a time? Will there be enough time to do them all. Or will we end up with a cluster @#$@ of mixed up parts everywhere?
Have you done this clinic before with half a dozen/more boxes all over the place?
Do you have a rough outline of the class? Not doubting your skills,just wondering about the logistics.
Thanks
Also should we order parts/seals in advance or will you bring them?

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT Jun 17 2009, 12:29 PM

Cool Mike. It will be fun to have you out in the area. I'll be sure to be there at least to visit. I have a ton of gears if anyone needs any. I even have a perfect X gear if anyone is interested.

The 12th is semi far out, but I have some very important stuff to do before hand. If things change, they change, but I can plan for the 12th and give everyone a good head start. I need to do killer on the 3rd step of my license exam before I submit my applications in Sept.

So, lets focus on the 12th from now on so I can let the other clinics know what dates are taken

How far is Shade Tree from an airport? How far from everyone else? We have a date lets solidify a venue

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 17 2009, 04:16 PM

I agree. Is there anyone else that has read this thread and feels that they can handle this crowd for a weekend?

Posted by: my928s4 Jun 17 2009, 04:45 PM

I am 5 hours north/east of Portland, further South is less preferable but I will bow to the masses.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 17 2009, 04:47 PM

We need a host, otherwise it will be at the Shad Tree garage

Posted by: Shade Tree Jun 17 2009, 05:12 PM

A rough count: 3 folks fairly close to me, 1 from down south and 11 from Portland and north of Portland.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 17 2009, 05:15 PM

Anyone heard from Craig Laughlin lately? He has room and is in Lake Oswego. How far is that?

Posted by: Todd Enlund Jun 17 2009, 06:25 PM

No offense to Rich, and thanks for offering, but if Jakeoudoule can host, he's much closer to the center of mass. Walterville is 2+ hours each way from Portland (135 miles). Battleground is <30 minutes (19 miles). Lake O is about the same from the airport, a bit closer for those living in Portland proper.

Posted by: J P Stein Jun 17 2009, 06:40 PM

Another option.
I am about 20 minutes from Portland airport & easy to find.
There is plenty of bench space in the shop but I have no overnight accommodations. I don't need a trans rebuild but have some parts & assemblies under the bench.....plus tools. Bout a case of beer in the fridge that needs to get drank(drunk?)....I don't do the stuff much.

Posted by: JRust Jun 17 2009, 07:32 PM

I'm open to wherever. I'd offer my place but I realy don't have much for benches to work on. Nor is my stock of tools probably up for multiple tranny's. I am north of Shadetrees & south of Portland. I have been to Jp's & he has nice garage setup for sure.

Having said all that I'd be happy to host & have plenty of parking. We can rig extra benches but would need people to bring extra tools. I also have some room for overnighters. Camping would be no problem. I have a 3 car garage with the single bay being my porsche area. It's pretty large I can fit 3 914's sideway in it. I love it but the downside is I'm in the flood plain. So I don't have much for plugs in the garage.

Okay so there is another possibility. I'll go wherever it is

Posted by: championgt1 Jun 17 2009, 08:02 PM

I don't need to rebuild my tranny(knock on wood). I would be down to come and watch and drink some of Todds home brew!

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 17 2009, 09:06 PM

I can always crash as Todd's if the venue has no over night accommodations.

So, we should assemble a list of all of the host candidates and take a vote. As for tools, all anyone needs to bring is a 14mm socket, 13mm socket, 10mm socket (only need one), 5mm allen (only need one) and that is about it. I will get some more sets of the special tools for everyone to use depending on the number of people showing. Getting more tools just makes sense given the scope of this tour.

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Jun 17 2009, 11:30 PM

I would be interested to attend and possibly participate. My stock 73 tranny is grinding going from 1st to 2nd (only when at high rpm) and going from 3rd to 2nd (again at high rpm). That being said, I'm open to any time I've got vacation time to burn. Two questions though, What's the cost and do I have to bring anything besides the tranny and tools?

Posted by: TC 914-8 Jun 17 2009, 11:44 PM

Wait, maybe people have a problem riding in a Dodge, or is it a Fiat???? I can't keep the bailout/bankruptcy money straight. Anyway, I could drive the F-350 crew cab if people are against that Dodge/Fiat product you drive.
Got room for a couple in my beast if Mike and I both have to drive.

Sorry guys, I haven't really checked the threads in a while except to double post (Eeeek) yesterday on a cool car.

If we really have 21, I don't have enough garage space to set up 21 tables and keep us under cover and dry. Todd has been to my shop/garage so he knows. September is usually good weather here so I would be happy to host a BBQ for those attending.

Another thought - I have friends who own a couple of vacant warehouse spaces in portland that just might work (for no charge - if we keep them clean and clean up after ourselves) but I would need to check if there is interest.

Dr. E - PM me if you want to talk about more details and I will give you my numbers.

I am in - at a minimum - for a tranny class! (Bras and panties optional )

but if you want them washed, that is gonna be extra

Do we have a consensus on where it's gonna be yet? Was it said to be at J P Steins or Shade Tree? Portland is a 5 Hour drive for me. My leash isn't that long so can we keep it no further than Portland (wife's request)? PLEASE!! if it is than I probably will attend anyways but the tranny in the back seat of my jeep will be unhappy and asking all the way "are we there yet"?

21+ people is alot! Do we get a "i survived the PNW tranny clinic" shirt?

This can be worked around if any responsible person shows up.

Posted by: Jakeodoule Jun 18 2009, 05:56 PM

I could host, have a nice motorhome for a guest house. sleeps 3 if you don't want to cuddle. Also have plenty of parking if someone wants to camp in a trailer or tent. I'm lucky to have nicely finished shop. 1 section is 25x30 and the other is about 24x24. both sections pumbed with air, a nice part washer, two motorcycle lifts that make good tables and some other roll around tables. But 21 is alot of people. How many watchers and how many trani's?
I am 22 miles NE of portland airport

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 18 2009, 06:28 PM

I updated the 1st post to reflect who is paying and who is watching. Let me know if you are not on the list you should be on (I still need to tally spectators).

When we did this last time it was in a small 2 car garage with a 914 in the one bay and 14 or so people in the other. You will be amazed at how little room you need per person Seats are nice and a table is as well, but the table is not necessary.

Jake, your shop sounds perfect and available. I am amazed at how many people stepped up to offer lodging. This is a great group and the event will be worth it.

I will make certificates and if you want we can do shirts. I am sure Todd has an idea and oldschool can make them up.

If I can get the time off this would be awesome! Would love to learn the black magic. I will have to freeload as I can't afford to put the tranny together. Should be awesome I'm monday wednesday off so that would be sweet .

I updated the 1st post to reflect who is paying and who is watching. Let me know if you are not on the list you should be on (I still need to tally spectators).

When we did this last time it was in a small 2 car garage with a 914 in the one bay and 14 or so people in the other. You will be amazed at how little room you need per person Seats are nice and a table is as well, but the table is not necessary.

Jake, your shop sounds perfect and available. I am amazed at how many people stepped up to offer lodging. This is a great group and the event will be worth it.

I will make certificates and if you want we can do shirts. I am sure Todd has an idea and oldschool can make them up.

Hey Mike you have me and my Brother (MR242)on the wrong list ..I have a1974 side shift i need done and have no idea what the condition is and hes is a 1970 tail shift from hes six gone through ....so there ya go ...Thanks

I go by Jake and John..
Its cool we have it here. I would ask that people clean the outside of your box before coming. That can be messy job.

Dr Evil,
(if thats his real name )
I will be rebuilding my 76. I need a seal kit. please.
Both my speedo and shift shaft are leaking. I am assuming the seals are in the kit.
Also my 4th gear whines pretty good. pretty much only when on neutral throttle.
On or off the gas the load on the gears stops it.
Is that a bearing? can you bring a new one? Other than that noise, my trani shifts and works good.

At the risk of bragging...here's a couple of pictures of my dream shop I have been building for the last 5 years.

There is a Conference race at PIR that week end, but if I am still out of a job, I won't be racing.

So I guess I am in the tentative group for either option. Like that should be a surprise for anybody!

This will be a great event, not only do I get to rebuild a gearbox (something I have always wanted to tackle) but I get to meet like minded enthusiasts which for the 914 is new for me as it is a lonesome existence up here in that respect.

Jake/John thanks for hosting, much appreciated.

Google maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=battle+ground+wa.

Posted by: Jakeodoule Jun 19 2009, 12:48 PM

Battle Ground is about 10 miles east of I-5 and 20 miles north of portland airport.
I had a couple of emails about facilities.
My shop does have a bathroom and shower. I live in the woods so camping is pretty nice. Nice flat grass. Or I do have room for camping trailers if you want to bring something like that. As long as its not a 40 footer, My diverway is a little tight for that. Motels are at least 10 miles away.
We can sort out all the details as we get near.
Are we firm on that date then? Sep 12th & 13th...

I sorted the picture thing. I was trying to insert image instead of attatching it.

If anyone needs gears with syncros & dog teeth, lemme no and I'll bring some along. If the good doctor is bringing parts I won't infringe on his sales, tho. I gotta tear down another one as the GA mainshaft is gettin' sold. Typically, first gears/sliders are in short supply and those I have are shakey. The rest is gud stuff.

HAY....what's this?....I was reading the rules

Spectators (free loaders ) (x8)

OK for you. I'll just wander around looking over guys shoulders & snickering.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 19 2009, 09:04 PM

JP, bring what you can. I we will have much need I feel. No infringement here.

Dave, I'll put you on the list.


Everyone, I wont take parts requests until I solidify things with "Jake and John" and start collecting fees I'll post here, dont you worry.

Posted by: JRust Jun 19 2009, 09:11 PM

I am in & paying. I will bring 2 boxes & a spare allready apart for parts. I think for the most part it is there. I will want 2 gasket/seal kits. I will be bringing my "h" gear for my v8 tranny. We've talked about that so you know the deal there. Probably doing the block off on 1st gear too. The other will be a stock job.

If we are doing a prepay deal just let me know what & where to send it

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 19 2009, 11:33 PM

I'll add you. I'll be collecting money and taking part orders starting sometime next week

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 19 2009, 11:41 PM

I have an idea of trying to get a group buy for 1st sliders since currently the cheapest ones are at Pelican for $435 and most of you will need them I bet.

Maybe AA can hook us up?

Posted by: rhodyguy Jun 20 2009, 08:26 AM

perhaps the 'np guys', hate to use the word 'freeloaders', should be required to clean the exterior of 1 filthy trans to get in the door.

gary emory @parts obsolete had bins of trans parts. could be a source. i know dave hunt has been down there and scrounged a few times.

Posted by: DNHunt Jun 20 2009, 08:54 AM

Yep Gary has a ton of stuff. He may have some core boxes and he has bins of transmission parts. If I remember right, the tranny parts are not all sorted. I know I came home once with a 915 1st gear when I wanted a 901 1st. He's not always cheap but, in a bind he may be able to help. He has a barn full of parts for all kinds of Porsche stuff and usually has some cool cars he's working on. I'll see what I can find out. As the time gets closer we may be able to get a shopping list together and have a look see.

The venue that Jake is offering sounds incredible!

Posted by: Jakeodoule Jun 29 2009, 03:50 PM

Info on Lodging.
Here's the deal, Our place is kinda in the woods and I have plenty of space for anyone to camp. Tent, trailer or whatever.
I have beds for 3 in our Motorhome.
I also have two tents and 2 sleeping bags up for grabs.
There's a leather couch in the shop that somebody can sleep on as well.
I do have a full bath and shower in the shop. Those that care can clean up.
I have a large fire pit and endless wood for saturday night. so camping may be the best option if your able. Anytime you get a campfire/beer going, I'm sure some lies will be told...

All beds and or tents are on a first come first emailed offer. I am however reserving one bed for Dr. Evil if he wants it.

I do have a full bath and shower in the shop. Those that care can clean up.

The closest Motel is 9 miles away in downtown Battle Ground.
www.bestwesternbattleground.com
I spoke with the gal "Bindiya" She said double rooms are normal 119.00 for Sat night but she would give a teener deal of $100.00 with 2 queen beds. Just tell her your with John Clemens and PGS. That is my company and I told her we we're having a business meeting...
Kinda pricey but spit by two is not too bad.

As far as food, I really don't have any delivery to my house. I figure with as many watchers as we'll have, we can send someone out for pizza/beer as needed.

All I would ask is everyone bring they're own hand tools and drain the gearbox before coming over.
I have air tools should anyone need them. I will email directions as we get closer to the date.
Should be fun.
Thanks,
Jake/John

Posted by: Dr Evil Jun 29 2009, 04:03 PM

Awesome!

I second the draining and bringing of own hand tools. I posted such in the 1st post as well.

So, who is bringing food? BBQ? I loves me some BBQ.

I will take you up on the bed, thanks Jake.

This is going to be a hell of a time, well worth it

So, time to start collecting the funds $$$ I would prefer checks. I will contact those that said they are paying and give them my details.

Posted by: Todd Enlund Jun 29 2009, 04:26 PM

Very cool. I have room as well if anyone needs it, if not, I might just bring a tent.

I'll bring 5 gallons of "Odoule's Evilbrau". Tentative recipe:

13 lbs Pale Malt
2 lbs Belgian Biscuit Malt
1 lb British Chocolate Malt
1 lb Cara-Pils
.5 lb Crystal 105L
.13 lb Roasted Barley

1 oz Centennial 60 min
2 oz Northern Brewer 15 min
1 oz Centennial 2 min
1 oz Amarillo dry

1.073 OG
40 SRM
53 IBU
7.5% abv

If the numbers mean nothing to you... 40 SRM is dark, nearly black. 53 IBU is well within the IPA range for bitterness. 7.5% abv is about 1.5x most American lagers. The chocolate malt give a dark color and a flavor similar to chocolate. Biscuit give a bready flavor. Crystal gives a caramel sweetness. Roast Barley gives a coffee bite, and Cara-Pils will add some body. The hops will add an orange-lemon citrus aroma and flavor, with a bitter kick.

I'm open to hearing opinions and suggestions... feel free to state them, and I'll decide whether to ignore them or not

This is based on previous requests for "dark" "brown" "porter" "IPA" and "hoppy"

I'll see if I can think of a good snack to bring as well.

I don't think I'll have the $$$ to fix my gearbox, but I will at least try to make it down there for an edumacation.

Evil, do you have a approximation on parts cost to cure the 2nd gear grind (based on typical failures/wear of course), I'm guessing the friction rings. Mine shifts fine if I give it a pause in between gears.

So far I'm figuring $300 + $40 +????

I've had my Mk2 transaxle apart, so I'm not too frightened by the prospect.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 20 2009, 08:17 PM

If you buy new parts you could be in for:
- $285 slider
- $150 Dog teeth
- $75 synchro

Total = $510

Used:
- Slider $75
- Dog teeth $50
- Synchro $30

Total = $155 (big difference, no?)

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 20 2009, 08:38 PM

I would reserve the parts for you if you want. I have never had anyone need to buy a new slider as I tend to have about 10 or so Sycnhro bands on the other hand are becoming in short supply. I think I need to take inventory tomorrow or tonight and see what is going on.

Posted by: J P Stein Jul 21 2009, 09:56 PM

Lemmeno what you're short of, Doc. I have some good stuff and may be able to get more. Dog teeth are interchangable, are they not....the trick seems to be getting them off without damaging them. 2/3 & 4/5 sliders are also interchangable& the same with brake bands. I *could* go check this out, but it's easier to ask you.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 21 2009, 09:59 PM

You can use dog teeth in all spots, but if use on 1st it needs all of the guts on the inside (I can use this). Sliders are interchangeable and the 4/5 ones tend to be as good as new. Let me see what I am short on, I wont sell anything that looks used. Whats the point? I will let you know.

Where are the campers camping? I'll be looking for a place to set up a tent, right now I'm leaning toward the Battle Ground State Park, unless a bunch of you guys are camping elsewhere.

I will probably bring some thirst quenchers so I'm not a complete moocher, but since I'm currently contemplating going to Monterey for a day or two of the Historics, I definitely won't have $$$ for rebuilding the trans. Guess I'll just have to drive it down there!

Everyone is welcome to camp here at the house. I live in the woods and have plenty of flat grass for tents. Also room for a camping trailer or two. Nice firepit, a full bathroom in the shop, so your all welcome. Depending on the final numbers I have a second BQ on stand by. I've got plenty of space (10 acres)and very private. There's no reason to pay for a spot at battleground lake.
Arrive Friday night or Sat. morning. Doesn't matter. I will be here Friday night rearranging my shop anyway.
Not sure if I'm picking up the Dr. or not. So I may be gone around 7 to 8 if so.
Other than that I will be here.
All beds I have are now spoken for.
I do have two tents with sleeping pads and bags if anyone needs one.
As we get closer I will email directions to everyone.

Posted by: Mikey914 Jul 31 2009, 01:18 PM

I would like to stop by Sunday morning, I've got some conflicting plans on Sat, but would like to spectate and bask in the smell of transmission fluids and sweat. I'll bring a few cold ones.

Jake, I'll be in my VW Camper so I only need a spot to park. I'm planning to be there Friday evening as well.

I don't recall seeing directions or an address yet. . .

Posted by: Mr.242 Aug 4 2009, 12:47 PM

Well, I was one of the hold outs: Dr.Evil, PM sent. I have to decline.

My funds are tied up with an attorney and I will be DEAP into a custody issue with my kids.

I love my car and really want to have the tranny rebuilt; however, I love my kids more!
The funds have to remain in constant supply to feed my attorney! And I need the ruling to go in my favor, I AM GOING FOR FULL CUSTODY!

I will miss the group and the event. But someday, I will be challenging 6Freak with my SIX. He just gets a break for a bit longer! (You all should know he needs to be afraid of his little brother)

Thanks for allowing me to delay my answer. But, I am working on family right now. I hope to have an influence on my kids to catch the 914 bug! I have given them a ride in my dad's SIX and they were grinning ear to ear. I explained to them that's what I am working on.......they can't wait for me to pick them up from school in mine when it's done. That's the best motivation over winning an AutoX or COTM award! IMHO


Thanks Fellas: remember beer is always easier going down than back up!!!

That's what my 4 year college education taught me!

I would ask everyone who wants directions to please PM me.
I'm not to keen on posting them where guests to the forum can see. I may still be wanted by some pissed off women claiming to have my child...
I will be happy to send them to anyone that is registered on the forum.
Thanks.
I am about 8 miles from Battle Ground lake.

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 11 2009, 10:43 AM

For those of you that are able, ( tranz not in car, or car not needing it before the clinic) to figure out what parts you may need, I recommend you pull the stack beforehand. Instructions on doing that (for the side shifter) are in my rebuild link below. You can post pics here and I can Dx your parts needs.

Posted by: Jakeodoule Aug 11 2009, 05:16 PM

Anyone want to bring a dirt bike Friday afternoon? I have 75+ miles of trails right at my doorstep.... We could bust out a few hours before the gang rolls in.

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 11 2009, 08:04 PM

Is the Doctor in?

When I pulled the shift support off the o ring broke in half. Is that something you can bring or do I need to order it. I think its part no 999 701 359 40

Also this bearing was bad. It came out of the rear of the case when I first pulled it apart. I think its the axel needle bearing cage. Can you provide it? I did find the little rollers so I know they're not floating around in the case.


Third, Do I need to replace these seals in both sides since I pulled the final drive shafts off?

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 11 2009, 08:50 PM

Billy,
The seal kit has all the seals. I can give you that bearing, but I bet one of the donor boxes has one to give as well. Where was it located? Beneath the gear or on top of it?

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 11 2009, 09:02 PM

Part 999 202 001 00 and there's only one. This is the axel needle bearing not the pair of needle bearings that go inside the reverse gear

Posted by: Larouex Aug 11 2009, 09:30 PM

BTW, I have a tailshift donor tranny, should I bring it? I have no idea what is wrong with it if anything as the car was not running when I took it in.

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 11 2009, 09:34 PM

Sure bring it.

Gotta sell a few more bits
Jake is their room for yet another trailer? If not perhaps I can mooch a bunk off someone else ?

Posted by: Jakeodoule Aug 11 2009, 11:39 PM

Should be no problem, How long? You'll more than likely have to unhook after parking. Only have room for one or two that can reach power hookup. Otherwise have flat and level room for three or four others at least. But anything longer than about 25 or 30 will be tight if your not good at backing...

Posted by: J P Stein Aug 17 2009, 03:08 PM

Doc:
I have only one first gear slider & it's just decent. It would seem that this is the most abused/NLA bit. I hope you have a plan.

I just pulled apart a trans. The
slider was toast tho the dog teeth were good but the syncro band was flat.....go figure. The pinion shaft intermediate plate bearing was in multiple pieces.

Posted by: Dr Evil Aug 17 2009, 03:16 PM

JP,
1st is generally shot. I posted earlier on in this long thread that if people wanted to get 1st sliders for this clinic I had a source for $350. Dog teeth from 2-5 can be made to work in 1st so I have that handled with plenty of spares. I also have some pretty decent 1st sliders for $100 ea. These save some money and will work great for a long time after a rebuild and class.

For bands, you can buy new from me if you like for $75, or used ones that are in great shape for $35.

No see'em the dogteeth/silder teeth on 1st gear. THE high wear area.

4th gear looks good.....but most are.

To your question: I hab no idea.

Looks like I am rebuilding my gear box just in time.
When I drained the oil a sweet pretty new House of Colors paint color came out....
"Por$che bronze Gold Metalic With 100 dollar flakes." Part #$$$-$$$


What do you think Dr.??
(Disregard the Moth, he flew into the oil after it was drained) He couldn't resist the pretty gold color. Th stuff on the rag is like a paste almost.
The little chunks came out with the oil....
Is that just a bushing or something cheap??
It was shifting nice with the only problems were a whine in 4th and a few leaks.....

First of all that wild cherry crack was some funny $hit

As far as the rush hour stuff what they said. I would hold off going thru Portland till 6:30 or 7. & to be on the safe side. You come up earlier you are welcome to stop by my place to relax for a bit. I live just east of Corvallis on hwy 34. I am 8 miles from I5. I am up for leaving my place sometime after 6:15. That would put us thru Portland at a decent time. Still get us there early enough to see what we are doing setting up camp or whatever.

Morgan we will definately touch base the week leading up to it

Posted by: Jakeodoule Sep 1 2009, 10:55 PM

Traffic is like any city. Some days you fly up 205 at 5pm others you don't
I would take 205 and not I-5 Coming from the south. I live about 1 hour from the 205/I-5 interchange thats in moderate traffic. I drive it at least once a week at rush hour. Rarely does it take more than an hour and an half. Its really not all that bad unless shit major crap goes down.

Posted by: J P Stein Sep 1 2009, 11:28 PM

I can think of only 2 places that have that much brass. The speedo drive screw gear (not likely) and one type of mainshaft intermediate plate bearing cage (bloody likely). The finely ground texture does not bode well for the rest of the works.

Posted by: Jakeodoule Sep 1 2009, 11:47 PM

The speedo drive is stripped... Leaks bad and is broken....
I guess I'll know next week... I may have to drink to numb the pain...

John,
I would bet your input bearing is toast as that is the cage you are seeing in that pic. The speedo drive is made of the same color material. I have a drive if you want it. Let me know, I'll hook you up.

Posted by: Jakeodoule Sep 2 2009, 09:45 AM

I would say everyone just bring what you want to drink/eat. If we want to go together on a big meal thats cool too. It would be easier to cook and serve than 10 or 15 sep meals. Somebody mention RIBS? I just don't have time to organize it and shop for all the stuff. I am tight with time next week as I will be out of town till wed night. As I mentioned before I have no delivery of any food here at the house. There will be a gas grill/micro/oven for use anytime your hungry. I have plenty of fridge/freezer space for food and we'll just keep the beer/pop in coolers on ice. If you have a good sized cooler maybe bring it with a bag of ice. My wife and I are tea drinkers, So we only have a small coffee maker in the MH. anyone is welcome to use it but it only makes about 4 cups... If your a Coffee addict/snob (I know a few of you are coming from Seattle) you may want to bring your setup. There is a little store 2 miles away and box stores about 8 miles. So if we need reinforcements it won't be too much trouble. Well just send one of the lackeys thats just watching.

Is the count on the 1st page of this thread accurate Dr.?

Oh yea, I have a cool little HO slot car setup. If you have any cars, bring em.

Posted by: Dr Evil Sep 2 2009, 09:56 AM

Yup, the count is accurate so far as I know

I dont drink coffee either. I cant bring food so someone needs to feed me

Posted by: my928s4 Sep 2 2009, 10:21 AM

I will be coming down Fri eve, hopefully start heading out about 3.

If someone wanted to go organize some food for the group and we split the cost I think that would be a neat idea rather than us all bringing in packed coolers or taking trips down the road all the time. Just a thought ... I would do it if I was local.

Really looking forward to this event if my box needs more attention than I thought

Posted by: Jakeodoule Sep 2 2009, 11:11 AM

Nope, Jake is picking me up. If it is easier for everyone for you to do it that would be cool. LMK jake/Todd

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Sep 3 2009, 09:49 PM

PanelBilly - I had to ask the guys at work if they heard about that recipe, One guy said anything marinated in rootbeer is good! Your more than welcome to a few beers.

Question to whomever? What is a good product to clean-up a tranny? I was thinking Simple Green or some good Ol' foamy bright.

Posted by: Jakeodoule Sep 3 2009, 10:35 PM

Hey Dr. It would be alot easier for Todd to pick you up. I will prolly have guys showing up around 7 or so. I thought you were coming in in the afternoon...
If Todd can get you that would be great.
If you get me a list of the stuff you want I can get it next week.

The slider is the thing that slides up and down and selects 1st or reverse. There is a fork attached to the shift rod that retains it. Take the 13mm bolt out of the fork and slide the slider and fork off together and take a pic of the underside where the pointy teeth interface with the pointy teeth on the gear.

Todd, which ever is closest, your place or Battleground, is probably best. I have no preference.

I'll get in touch about the shopping list.

RE: my928s4 gear stack

The parts need to be cleaned off to be 100% sure.

3rd slider side – go
3rd Teeth – go
3rd Synchro – go

2nd teeth – no go
2nd slider teeth – cant tell
2nd synchro band – no go

4th teeth – hard to tell, might be OK
4th slider teeth – cant tell
4th synchro band – needs to be cleaned off to tell

5th – completely obscured

1st – teeth are worn and can be replaced, the rest is obscured

1st and 2nd synchro bands are toast, 1st slider is barely passable in the pic, I have better used ones. 2nd teeth look bad. 1st teeth can be replaced. By the looks of the 2nd band and teeth I would estimate that your slider ont he 2nd side is poo as well.
-2x synchro bands
-1x 1st slider
-1x 2- slider

When you pull the input and out put shafts apart, how much play do you get??? Can you take a pic of the bearing in the intermediate plate?

More than about 1/16" play is too much. You can pnly get a pic of the input bearing under 1st gear (the small one). The rest will require disassembly so dont bother. You most likely need an input shaft bearing. Its good others are bringing core boxes to part as I think I may run out of parts The whole PNW will be shifting like a dream after this!

I would say the area by my house is not really for younger riders. Most of the trails round here are close to expert. I ride my beta trials bike on a lot of them. They just lead off into the woods. for miles. I don't have any trails on my property.
Unless someone went with him to show him which trails to take, he could easily find himself at the bottom of a mean rocky hill....

Trailers not a problem.

That shot actually tells us a lot! You have the aftermarket steel caged version of that bearing. This is a great thing as they are much stronger. There has been a large increase in the incidence of broken output shaft bearings, but you need to be able to pull some parts that I will help you with to see it. No worries.

Good news is the case is finally looking somewhat respectable ....

The roughness in the center of the gear is normal, it is the factory way they are. The roughness of the Reverse (flat) teeth however is due to habitually grinding R

Another question: is there a benefit to using the 911.xxx.xxx 901 case w/the extra boss at the bottom (ala tail shift) vs the 914. case ?

Posted by: Dr Evil Sep 7 2009, 05:47 PM

No, none at all. It may actually be a detriment as the vent is in the wrong spot and might interfere with placement in a 914.

Are we still looking to start at 0930 Saturday? I think I'll head down from Tacoma Saturday a.m. (Friday night commitment).

Do ya think we have enough cores? The carnage from the teardowns makes me a teeny bit concerned. I really want a rebuilt box when I'm done. Hope it's just a syncro, but the pictures of other peoples boxes makes me think that's optimistic.

I'll be coming down in the Passat, not a 914, but will haul a table and tools and the tranny .

Oh, and somewhere I saw a post of what tools to bring, but don't see it now. Guessing a socket set, regular and deep. Beyond that, not so sure...

Scotty, you will finish. We will make it a priority.

Tools needed:
-13mm socket
-14mm socket
-wrachet
-vice grips (large is good)

Tools that are nice to have:
- Set of drifts
- Large crescent wrench
- Hammer
- Larger pin pliers

Things I will be supplying:
- Aluminum work surfaces (disposable flat cookie sheets)
- Aluminum parts wash basins (disposable roast pans)
- Brake cleaner
- Carb cleaner
- Rags
- Foul language, dirty jokes, methane, beer recycling, etc.

I was going to supply gloves, but I forgot to get them today and I am going to be out of town Wed to Thurs. If I get into town before Harbor Freight closes I will get gloves, if not I need either John to grab some or people to bring their own.

I'm not sure if I sould have it welded before this weekend or wait till I get it all apart.

Our community leaders here have nothing better to do so they renamed a street on the way to my house (just last week.) so I will be resending the directions. Those coming from the north need to heed the new directions.

While I should have enough parking for all the cars. I don't have a lot of level parking. So I need to have an idea ahead of time. I would request anyone with an RV to stop at the bottom of the driveway, and walk up to see where we are going to put you. Its not a problem to get RV's up the drive. It just that you should look at it and plan out where your parking and turning around...... Those with cars go to the top of the driveway and we'll unload your stuff and show you where to park.

Drifts are metal rods that come in various sizes to punch out pins and such. Harbor Freight sells sets for cheap that you can abuse and toss

Posted by: DNHunt Sep 9 2009, 07:15 AM

Oh, and a little work on the Transmission!

Posted by: Jakeodoule Sep 10 2009, 09:39 PM

Those with Motorhome's or trailers PLEASE don't forget to stop at the bottom of driveway... Right after you pull onto the gravel. Just park and walk up. Its only like 100yards. But the parking may need planning. Those in cars just cruise up to the top. the shop is behind the house. My driveway is gravel and a little steep in one spot (very short). If you stop on that spot you will have a tough time of getting going again. So just cruise right up all the way to the top. There's lots of room. Then you'll turn around. I only tell you this because a delivery dude stopped on the little hill, couldn't get going again, then tried to back down and ended up in my pond. Took a crane to get him out. It was awesome! I have enough parking, but just! and it'll be tricky to make sure the campers can get in after about 6 or 8 cars are here.
The sooner you get here with your RV the easier you'll have it. But we'll work it.
No worries!
I'm really Lucky to have a great place in the woods to throw a party like this and I can't wait to share it with everyone.
I have only one thing to ask. Please do not throw cig butts on the ground. I can't stand the fact that the world is an ashtray. Thanks.

Had you made the transfer with a few minutes to spare your baggage wouldn't have made the trip(SWAG).....now you have a chance with the 2 hour delay.

Have a great evening.

I hope ya'll had better luck than I with getting there. The directions I got were garbage. It was a nice morning for a drive in the semi-country. There is NO 199st off SW10th.....the mileage was off to boot. Answering machines on both phones was a nice touch

If ya need parts or tools call me. 360 693 8404. I gots other things to do.

Posted by: scotty Sep 13 2009, 03:10 PM

Yeah, JP...even Google Maps had issues with the mileage.

I learned 3 important things:

1. The first person to open their transmission finds bad news.
2. Those little stop blocks inside your transmission aren't supposed to be in two pieces
3. NEVER! Never stand downwind of people who've had a lot of barbecued oysters...NEVER!

So, someone must not have installed their tail cone to intermediate plate seal as I found a spare one where Scotty was working

Got back around Midday, what a weekend, talk about sleep deprived.

Yesterday was a looong day but a bunch of us ended up completing the boxes, great experience and thanks to Rich and Jamie for the parts I needed.

John (Jake) you have an amazing place and thanks for putting up with all the banging, mess, beer etc ..

Mike, thanks for the help, verbal abuse and plethora of stories.

To everyone else great to put some names to faces at my first 914 event.

Now watching the F1 race in a nice comfy chair.

Posted by: Dr Evil Sep 13 2009, 04:04 PM

Check your junction between the tail cone and int plate on the top by where the ground strap goes. You should see the paper gasket there. If not, I am guessing that this one is yours and I can send it to you

Dr. - I believe that extra was mine. Had two in my kit (four total gaskets). You handed me gaskets to use as well.

As a precaution - JAMIE - please double check the tranny I rebuilt for you.

Hey Morgan,
It wasnt Jaimie's box as we checked it You had 2 tail cone gaskets??? That is like a 4 leaf clover.

Chris (helios) and I just returned to my shop in Anacortes. What a weekend!!!

First and foremost: THANK YOU John for being such an gracious, accommodating host and allowing a bunch of ruffians into your way-cool shop for the weekend. Personally, thanks for allowing me use of your welder and other tools needed to get my shift coupler modified so I could get home. Any time you find yourself up in my neck-o-the-woods, Mi shop, su shop!! Please let your wife know that I said thanks for letting us play at your house this weekend and for putting up with all the noise.

THANK YOU Dr Evil, for everything!! Knowledge, stories, cigars, and a healthy round of BS for all I really enjoyed hanging out and learning the 901. Thanks!

Thanks to all the rest that I met, the names are many and most have escaped my brain, but I never forget a face. I hope to see you all again at another gathering.

Just got home myself. Aboslutely awesome weekend . I had a blast & learned alot.

Big thanks to Dr. Evil for making the trip out & helping me so much with my box! Despite my screwing everything up & mixing gears from 2 transmissions together (one of my spare's I pulled apart knowing we needed parts).

Huge thanks to John for putting up with all of us

Morgan is just cool as hell for building my second box for me. Was planning to do it today but he was up to learn. The box he ended up bringing wasn't the right one so he built mine instead. Saved me alot of time. Thanks dude

It was great meeting everyone & working all weekend with fellow 914 owners. Can't wait for the "Falling leaf tour" now

Hey Cory we'll have to figure out a time for you to come down. I've got the transmission for you. Come weld my suspension ear & well both be happy

Posted by: Todd Enlund Sep 13 2009, 08:02 PM

Man, that was a hella lot of fun. We're doing Type 4s next summer

Nate, thanks a bunch for the part to get me back together. Everything is good, just need to open the case back up and put in some seals. Right now, I have a rebuilt 901 that is guaranteed to leak!

It was great to see guys that I knew again, and to meet guy that I hadn't.

Now, I gotta figure out how to deal with Dr. Evil until Wednesday...

Mike - appreciate the expertise and patience.

Jamie - thanks for tearing down your core; the dog teeth and synchro were mucho appreciated!

Well..shoot. There were 4 gaskets in the kit, I used the two you handed me for the plate to box seals and one "extras" from the kit for the tail cone, leaving one seal for others.

Is there a difference? If so, I cry "Mine!" (and "Damn!")

Nice pictures!

Thanks to the Dr. for a great time and some great knowledge. Thanks for the music around the fire. You play a mean coum-by-aah! Also thanks for crashing and breaking my Zagi plane....I hope your a better Doctor then a pilot.

Big thanks to Rich for the buddy deal on the Trani. THANKS!

I had a great time hanging out with everyone, talking shit, telling lies and drinking around the fire.
It really was a great time and amazing we rebuilt that many boxes at once.

Sorry to JP for directions snafuu! Looks like like I'm getting a parts car this week. If there is anything you need PM me and I'll hook you up.


There were a few things left behind...
A Snap-on 3/8 drift punch.
2 good size cresent wrenches.
a red chair
If you want any of these PM me and we'll figure out how to get them to you.

Anytime any of you want to use my shop/lift, your more than welcome!

It was great to see you guys, and i hope to see a bunch of you before the snow flies!

after 340 miles in 5 and a half hours I got home at 8:30 pm. Thanks to: John (Jake) and his wife for the kick ass shop and the waffles. Mike (Dr.) for the instructions and Pink floyd by the fire, I was impressed! Remember, your not gay unless you push back! Chris (helios) for all the help. Nate (aircooledtechguy) for letting me use half of your table and some tools. Rich thanks for the killer deal on the part. Steve (Pete-Stevers) for making me laugh and for being canadian. Ryan (thompson-Mfr) for the help and the shift ball. Morgan (Mstein) for taking pictures with me in them so the wife really knows I was there. Todd for the atomic turds evil dropped in his pants and caused a mass eviction of the shop! Billy for the mass quantities of pork flesh, they were good! Jamie (Jrust) for allowing me to hang out with you for awhile at your place! The crandel brothers you are some funny sum bitches, thanks Mark (Mr.242) for the Pit Maneuver instructons and the oysters! I am missing several others but thanks for the fun and a great weekend! we have to do something like that again, your a bunch of good guys and it was a blast. BTW, It was my first 914 event so you guys made it a really cool start!

Its already been said, but thanks to all. John for being a great host and Dr for the teaching style (that I found to be the best part of the event).When my kids were young, I was a 4H leader and we used the learn by teaching program. The older kids taught the younger ones and they re-learned the subject over and over. It appears the style works for adults too.

Sorry I ran out Saturday night. It took me about three hours to get home to my own bed. The time past quickly as I listened to Art Bell on the radio most of the way (but on different channels).

I had so much fun that i want to think of another clinic (see Teener Tuesday)

Posted by: moordi Sep 14 2009, 06:32 PM

Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of thanks!

John, that's one hell of a place you have there and I'm not sure you ever want to give anyone really good directions. With all of your hospitality, you'd likely end up with a really large extended family camping out there.

And, to the Dr., yeah you *were* laughing at me. But it was awfully nice of you to stop laughing long enough to say you weren't. Now that's proper bedside manner!

Nate, thanks for the helping hand and the great parts deal - check's on its way.

Everyone else, thanks for the camaraderie and help (too many of you to list, since I didn't even get everyone's name). You made the whole experience worthwhile.

Dave

Steve taking a big slurpsh of draft beer
putting it down, he grabbed a wrench, most likely a thirteen
Steve interupted, by Rich "hey steve can you help me put these gears together"
Steve..."uh sure" putting down his thirteen, knocking over the docs warm beer, spilling all over tranny innards.
Steve helps Rich with gear set assembly
Steve takes another drink
Rich helps steve with gear set assembly

Mike thanks for lifting the veil and showing the rest of us the black art of fixing the 901 I actually think I can do another one myself now. The steady stream of profane language and insults made me feel right at home
The mass quantites of animal flesh and alchohloic brew has got me a little plugged up though

Great to to see all the PNW faces some familiar & some new.

Im glad I brought a few spares...It seems that EVERYONE needs syncro's, dog teeth and especially the first gear slider. Someone with access should step up and arrange a group buy

TOP TEN thing I learned at PNW tranny rebuild clinic: No particular order

1. John (Jake) garage has made my garage insecure.
2. Don’t bring A Slim Fast to a Teener event unless you want ridicule (in my fridge thought it would be quick food WRONG!)
3. Dr. Evil knows way too much about Tranny’s (double meaning implied)
4. My car reeealy needs a paint job after sitting next to Morgan’s (mstein95)
5. If you’re Canadian bring your thick skin to the event…ehy!
6. If your car needs a paint job and body work, Dr. Evil is the ultimate Motivator!
7. Sleep is optional. Can’t even imagine if I rebuilt a tranny.
8. Dr. Evil doubles as Roger Waters. Nice guitar playing man!
9. There is no limit to the amount of meat that can be cooked on a bbq.
10. Gear selection when driving a Split Window Bus is optional.


Thanks Dr. for all your knowledge, I learned a lot!
Thanks John for sharing your amazing garage/home with us!

OK, I think I am finally recovered from this last week enough to post my deep thoughts on my experience in the PNW. I had a BLAST! I tried to write a little something for each one of you, but I quickly abandoned that idea as I would have too much to say and it would still be lacking. However, I do need to mention a few people particularly.
John, I am glad you are part of our community. You are a very cool individual, generous, and you have done some amazing things that you could be arrogant about if you wanted to, but that seems against your nature. You have a kick ass set up and you took great care of me for which I am eternally grateful.

Todd, thanks for opening your house up to me so I had a place to crash for my extended visit. I had a great time hanging out with you and drinking and eating and drinking and drinking and eating. Good luck in school, I know you are already enjoying it. Remember, the longest journey begins with the first step, no matter what. Your walking man.

The rest of you, I wish that I could hang with all of you often. There were so many great individuals and personalities there. If I didnt pic on you it was either that I didnt like you or that I thought you couldnt take it....and I didnt like you

I would definitely come up to visit again if the opportunity presented it self. Thank you all for making this such a great event
