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? |

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. |
