June works for me. It will be hot. If you are staying at Jeff's I'm sure we'll be doing some time on the water anyhow. If for any reason the dates don't work out to stay with Jeff, you're welcome at my place as well. I'm right around the corner and on the water. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Sorry no airline miles though.

Someone had miles and the less it cost me to get there the less people I need to afford to make it happen (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It is Sun, which is a slow World day.

As for dates, I can rotate either or since now Noel is not going to be in classes this summer and can come out for vacation to the PNW either time. She may come out for Stockton as well to visit family in SJ.

I would be intersted in at least watching your clinic (not sure if mine needs rebuilt, haven't driven the car yet). Hopefully I'll have it running and find out before, so I'll vote for June, might need the extra time.

John, I can not guarantee that I will have any left by then. I have only a few now and I sell a few a week. At that rate, probably not. You can get one now for $40 shipped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I am shameless.

More info:

I will always advise a look-see inside the box. If anyone brings a box that doesnt need a rebuild (not happened yet that I remember), pay for a seal kit, reseal the box, and take back your $300 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) No need to pay if you dont need to build. Right?

Sounds good, lets discuss particulars behind the scenes. Are you the one that originally volunteered and posted that nice pic of your back deck???

That sounds more than fair, let me know where and when.
mines got 112k miles now, hopefully won't need too much. The peace of mind would be worth it, plus i'd love to tear apart a transmission with someone there to keep me from f#*#ing it up!

Generally speaking, people tend to need 2 bands, 2 sets of teeth, and seal kit (I can get for you) at the minimum. Often the lower intermediate plate bearing is needed. This is the typical. If you buy new vs used the prices vary a lot. If you buy used from me at/for the clinic I always cut you a price break (not looking to jack the price up once I have you in need). Feel free to contact me fro pricing and purchasing. You are welcome to buy now when you pay for your tuition. I have limited qty of used stuff and it will be getting less at time and clinics move on. I will try to replenish, but can not promise. Prices for new are changing constantly as well. I can get new for wholesale for ya, but on many parts I would recommend used as they are not inferior and are cheaper.

Either of those weekends sound okay for me. I will have a transmission to go through. Out of curiousity, what is the timing on the workshop? Is it a one-day thing either Saturday or Sunday? Friday night and Saturday? Two-days, both Saturday and Sunday?

I will be rebuilding a trans in the future, but $300 seems a little steep. I guess the question I have is will the clinic have more benefits than the CD I purchased?

Mike,

What is typical cost on parts that need replacing?

Im not sure if I want to fork the cost to rebuild my box... Im changing trani's sometime this year and dont think I would get it back...


I DO know that I will be attending the clinic! 45 mins from my house? Hell ya. I may even have my car done by then. (Why do events always have to be in hot weather? Arg..)
