This will happen at Leamon's Garage on Sept 19-20 (Sat/Sun). The details are below (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


The important stuff ( clarified 7/20):
*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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )
*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.
*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 outside of it a little. Not spotless, but enough to keep if from crapping up the place
*Bring cardboard to protect the facilities smile.gif

Mid cal = nor cal (even though it is in the middle). Check the master thread and you will see that only RobW spoke up. It is still possible, but I didnt see the numbers and I already did a tour there in SJ. I would love to come up again if you can find the people to attend/spend.

As some may recall, we did this in Jan08 at my place in San Jose. While the weather sucked, the event was great. Mike did a great job and there were dozens of folks crammed into my garage to avoid the rain.

This is well worth the time and effort. Great learning from an expert, meeting folks and getting some really good work done to the car.

If you spectate, there is no cost. If you bring one or more gear boxes to rebuild then the cost of admission is $300 with the end result being 1 or more gear boxes that you rebuild under my supervision. You also get access to my used parts stash and unlimited access to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Depending on the number of "takers" I could also host one.

Looks like I'll have to start putting money back into the Starving Students fund, because this sounds really cool

Count me in, I have a side shift that needs rebuilding, and a tail shift which can be used for parts.

Guys - don't hesitate!

The $300 is well worth it. I am telling you from experience, if you have never cracked a tranny case and rebuilt one on your own, do it!

I came away with the best shifting tranny - not to mention the tail to side conversion.

The only thing I regret was being to drunk to remember half the stuff Mike taught me.

Great! Glad we talked you into it!

I believe my only real issue is first gear, but this is a great opportunity to figure out what's going on in my gearbox. Should I plan on purchasing synchros before, or will you have those available along with the used parts you will be bringing?

I will be happy to host with my girls Judy supplying Costco food and drinks.

Have Pool, small garage, tools, and Compressor & No trans to work on. But we have parking.

Forgot its SOCAL I have a BBQ. His name is Joe.

Will I have to pay?
