I have, I believe a 914/901 side shifter. I am pretty sure that's what I was told.
Anyways, we pulled the gears and all out of the transmission, to figure out what was the problem was with why it wasn't going into third, and other problems I have been having. Basically, what I gathered, is this: I need new synchros on all the gears, I need the shifter, or slider, or whatever the dog teeth synchros are, and I believe I need one other one. The mechanic quoted me $650 out the door. He said it is about 500 for the parts, and 150 for labor. Does this sound fair? Thanks in advanced. - Brett |

Well, the thing is this. He works at Black Forest Racing, but has his own shop for the after hours. I know he knows what he is doing, he used to build race cars and what not.
I'm not sure if his name means anything or not, but his name is John Aitkens, and he is from Kentucky, and I think he was in one of the Carolina's for a while too. Because I used to work at Black Forest, John Forbes still gives me cost on all parts. So, we order from a company named WorldPac, and don't pay retail. He gave me a new quote today, because he ordered the parts today, and it was 558 for parts, and another 150 for labor to install everything. BTW, I already bought the basket set because I needed it since I was having him pull the transmission apart either way to check it. - Brett |
