Happy Friday gentleman. Gabe and I were talking and we both have transmissions that need some attention, and that got us thinking that we should get a group of people together and do a tech day as we open these things up and maybe even fix them...
What do you think? |

Anybody in the gang know a lot about transmissions ? I know how to take them apart but that is about my extent of knowledge. Kinda of need someone who knows their stuff. |

Why not summon the great Dr. Evil for a rebuild clinic? You rang? Timing may be close to perfect, actually. I am looking to quit this current job so may have lots of time coming up, need to generate some income, will need to visit mom out in San Diego that is fighting cancer, and she hasn't seen my 5yo in 3 years. Hmmm. So, as others commented, "Depends on date." Also, depends on if yall want me out there. I didn't see if someone else had decided to hold the clinic. |

Might as well put out some basics ahead of time:
- I recommend all new major bearing (2 input shaft, 2 pinion) and can get these at a deep group discount (retail around $1300). - Seal kits (I can get, or you can get). - Pre inspection of your ring and pinion is recommended. Last clinic in VA a guy bought a "ran when parked" transmission only to find the pinion head was very messed up. Luckily I had a core handy to sell him. Pre inspection is easy and I will talk you all through it. - I may be low on some used parts, so will try to secure discounted new where I can. I have sources. Mostly low on synchro bands last I checked. They are not too pricey, the bearings are the killer cost if you go retail. - This would be a planned 2 day event. See my links below in my signature for some of the clinics I have done. - Ask lots of questions, there are no dumb ones. No one was born knowing how to do this stuff, we all started with no idea. |

I think it would be useful to actually tackle two scenarios. One would be a tuneup or limited synchro replacement ( if that indeed is possible ) and the second would be a full soup to nuts rebuild.
I've got the patient box that needs a Synchro, so I consider that sourced. :-) |

I would be interested. I need to 'check' one trans that I believe is OK and another that needs rebuild for popping out of gear. Hopefully I can get one to use and another as a spare out of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
