T (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) That was fun! On the rear shift linkage: I don't have a spare handy, but you're welcome to use the one from my '71 while the engine is out, parts have been back-ordered, so it may be a while till I need it. The closest one I have is in Angwin in a car that needs to be converted from tail shift. Another long-term project...

What a great event! Thanks to everyone for being so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Evil definately knows what he's doing and also likes to share his knowledge. I think as a group we got a total of at least seven (?) transmissions rebuilt in two days. Personally, I learned a ton. Also, special thanks to Trevor and his family for putting up with everyone and letting us take over their garage and for just being so hospitable in general. Kevin

What a great time. Dr. Evil certainly knows his stuff and is great to hang with. Thank you to him and everyone for making this a great event. Indeed seven transmissions were broken down and rebuilt.

Now that I am awake and no longer drunk here are a few more thoughts about the event. If you are going to do this in the future....
1. Have tons of rags and towels. This job is very messy and the gear oil gets everywhere. 2. Set up a decent area to drain the trannys 3. Space! It didn't help us that we had the worst weather (for California) in 30 years but a 1/2 of a garage for 10-12 guys and 7 transmissions is pretty tight. 4. Tools. I have an okay set of tools but Dr. Evil needs some specific stuff; 1/2 inch breaker bars, jigs, lots of rubber mallets, lots of 13 and 14 sockets, deep 30 socket, tourch, a couple of vices, etc. Dr. Evil can add to this I am sure but my 'tv repair man' set of tools didn't cut it. 5. 10-12 hours. Set aside parts of two days to get this done if done in a clinic format. 6. Clean, clean clean. One of the most painstaking thing was cleaning - I am an expert as Mike can attest (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Clean what you can before you come to the clinic and have good drip trays at each work station to clean parts. I am sure I'll think of more information to pass on after I am not so hung over. Thank you again to all the participants and observers. And especially Mike for coming out and putting this on.

7 transmissions!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Great. Thats the way Herr Doktor! Your gonna end up running a free clinic somewhere (real docterin') with this kinda attitude. I'll bet it was the most fun that could be had while rebuilding a transmission. Great for hosting Trevor, and taking and posting pics. Great seeing everyone (including the kids) involved! Of course, thanks for orchestrating it all, Mike. It looked like a good time from this side of the country. Yep, 914 people are just weird. |

I was surprised and pleased with the weekend - surprised and pleased at how often I got to use my hammer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
Our gears were in good hands with Dr. Evil in the house. Trevor and family deserve thanks again for hosting! I really enjoyed meeting all the new folks, talking race stories with Rob and Bill, getting and giving help, and of course, the beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) For those absent, here's what I remember as a typical conversation: Lost wrencher "Hey Dr. Evil, where does this thing go?" Dr. Evil "Why don't you bend over and I'll show you." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It'll be 2-3 more days until I get back to work on 914 stuff. My ride to Kirkwood is heading here now. We should have 8-10 FEET of powder to play in for the next 2 days. WHEEEEEEEEE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

What a trip! As far as my life goes, this was an epic undertaking that generated memories and friendships that I will cherish until my brain unit goes on the fritz. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
7 - trannies, at least 10 people in the garage at a time, 2 tail to side conversions, one box changed to a 4 speed with locked out 1st and F, N, flipped N, flipped H gearing to mimic a 930 for a 3.2, one box re-geared for shorter shifts by Chris. Also, the almost complete conversion of Trevor's car to side shift....it would have been a COMPLETE conversion if I would have shipped the right shift bar (duh). I got back into Baltimore at 11:15PM and was home asleep by 3am....and had to get up to be in class (where I am now) by 8am....I iwll post more comments at a later date...I need sleep. I do want to say that I feel very lucky to have been able to have done this and it would not have been possible if it were not for Trevor and his freakin awesome family. It was his idea, generosity and his family that enabled this to happen. I have made some new friends through this and that is priceless (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

What a great time I had in San Jose, All that I had expected and more. Lot of knowledge and bad gas in a small area. I would do this again in a heart beat, and get to test myself working of a couple of tranny's in my herd.
Great Job Dr. Evil and Trevor's wife for putting up with the heathens. Boa |
