Hey David,
"Easy" is a relative concept (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It is less invasive than some other issues you could have. First things first, click my tranny rebuild link below in my signature and go through the check list of possible external causes for your problem. It is rare for 5th to go out. In 99.9% of the trannies I have worked on (a lot) 5th is practically new. For the future, I am not sure if I will be making it out to TX. The nest clinic will likely be in VA or MD. |

Popping out of 5th sounds more like a shifter-rod/linkage issue ...

Evil,
I see a nationwide tour in the future. Maybe a poll to see whose interested in a specific part of the country? I'm pretty sure that if you planned it far enough out, a third coast clinic (Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio) in one of those locales would prolly sell out. Do it in the break between spring and summer terms... Just a thought |

Houston is a possibility as one of my best friends (the guy who taught me how to rebuild my 1st tranny) lives there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As for future breaks, who knows if I'll even got one. I am always open to the idea, though.

Would that be Red Beard? Seems like I read a tranny rebuild thread by him some time ago. I thought he was in H-town, and thought about trying to dig him up, and see if he would do a personal tutorial. I'd really prefer to rebuild my own box.... Great to see you doing something like this. Good Karma comin your way..... |

Yup, thats him. He is way busy these days so I am not sure if he would be available for a tutorial. He doesnt even have time to hang out here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I talked to him 2 days ago. He does a lot of traveling for business and thats why he is never around.

Hey, I just found this thread and would love to go. I have a spare side shift but lacking the funds so I'll just be an observer. Well, I don't even know what parts I would need. I'll click on the link and take the first steps as you said and I'll go from there. Maybe I'll come up with some cash by then. If someone needs a practice tranny, you could always rebuild mine..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I bet I could come up with the money for parts then... (beg, borrow.... ) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
Thanx, Dr., for coming out. Sounds like it will be a blast. |

Oh yea, and if I can make it I'll be sure to bring something for the hosts as a thank you gift. I just want to meet up with you guys and learn something. If I can't come up with the cash for the session and parts I'll just bring the spare I have in case there is anything in there someone might need.

I would like to bring down a trany that I have worked on. It gets stuck between 5th and rev. on down shifts. Is this something I can do or is this a watch and talk. I need starting time because I will be driving from Medford Or. and will be getting in from N.Y. some time on the 3rd.

Is this something I can do or is this a watch and talk. I need starting time because I will be driving from Medford Or. and will be getting in from N.Y. some time on the 3rd. Boa Getting stuck between R and 5 is a weird issue considering they are not connected in the box. I would check your shift linkage bushings and all related external hardware first. If you click my tranny rebuild link in my sig line below it will run you through what to check. If you bring the gear stack to have it diagnosed that is fine, but if you are going to rebuild it then you will need to register and pay the clinic fee. As for start, I plan on being ready for anyone who wants to show up starting about noonish on Fri. People do not need to be there both days, but I recommend it. If you can only make one then come on Sat and plan on a long day (8-10hrs) depending on what we have to work with. Feel free to PM me about your tranny issues and I will try to help you out (or start a new thread) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Kevin, thats a great idea. I can try to plan extra days when I interview and can interview at places where there are enough people for a clinic. That will help me recoup lots of my travel costs and such....maybe I'll even be able to afford to move back left. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Koozy, I'll PM you and see if we can work somethign out on the honor system or something. I dont want people who really want to learn to miss out because of the timing of the clinic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

Boa Hi Boa - I am sure you can bring down the transimission, just work out the detail with Dr. Evil (PM him). It is a bit of a drive from OR but I am sorry I cannot put you up. The extra room is taken by Dr. Evil. We'll be working Friday and Saturday; I'll assume we'll start around 8am. But we'll post more specific times as the event gets closer. Thanks T |

Mike,
I cannot be there to participate in your great knowledge and "free wheeling" transmission clinic. The next best thing is to see if I can purchase a complete rebuilt transmission directly from you. I need the transmission match the power bands of a 1987 3.2 Carrera engine. I would like the intermediate section to be new as well as the gears to match the foregoing needs. Hope this activity will help you and me int each of our 914 endeavors. Our Good "Doctor Evil" does a great job on these transaxles. Let me know if you can build me a transaxle along the general guide lines as outlined above. If you want to provide the basic core, and build from there, it is ok by me. Thanks, Steve Hurt |

Can do, Steve. I have cores available. What gearing where you thinking? Do you want it to mirror a certain tranny; 915, 930, etc? PM me and we can work out the details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mike,
I have not really given it total thought and will need your experience in setting the gears, etc. I think it should match the gearing of the 915 transaxles for proper performance (street, not racing). I would like the 5th gear to give good fuel economy. I would probably have an external pressure oil system therefore installation of oil jets, etc. Have only seen pictures of this convertion, need additional thoughts. I will spend some time this next week to try to determine additional thoughts and specifics. I am not in any hurry on this so the project is subject to your time frames. I will PM you in a week or so when I can gather my thoughts on this project. Thanks, Steve Hurt |

Right on, Steve. That sounds involved so it will be a while until I have a free moment to do it. We'll talk soon.
Anyone needing synchro bands or seal kits I now have prices for these items and can save you money on shipping by delivering them to the clinic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) PM me for details. |

In other tranny news: I was doing the math to see how close I could get the 901 gearing in 4 speed set up (locked out 1st) to the 930 box and I was amazed at how close I got it and how inexpensive it is. All that is required is, normal 2, 3, flipped stock 3rd, flipped H gear. This is a great setup for big /6 and V8s. |

I am sure that this can be found an a thousand different threads but it might also be a good addiation to this one.
What is the stock gear configuration for the 914/4? |
