Tranny Clinic... Abbotsford BC, next spring, Gauging interest Options

[pete-stevers]

I have spoken with Dr Evil and would like to have a transmission clinic here at our barn in mid to late Spring next year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Wed have plenty of room for camping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Costs have not been discussed as of yet....
I would like to see who would like to participate.

There was talk of a Montreal clinic in July -- not sure if that went anywhere, but I can't attend just due to the timing.

I've been trying to get out to B.C. for years (decades?) but still haven't made it. This might be a great opportunity, but I'd likely have to source a local transmission to work on, then ship it home to Ontario after.

So... I have interest, but there'd be a lot of logistics to work through.

I tried to organize the clinic in Montreal and it didn't work out mainly for these reasons:

1. Some people were expecting a $ 500 clinic where you disassemble, inspect, replace whatever is worn with used parts, reassemble and go. Since replacing the bearings is a must these days, and just those are close to $ 1K, many bailed out.

2. It was a long haul for DrEvil and his family from Ohio to Montreal and given the low number or participants, it just wasn't worth it for him.

I wish you guys have better luck than me to get things going.

We took in a trans recently that needed the intermediate plate machined because the bearings were loose in their mounts. That’s $400. Add in the bearings, a couple gears, dog teeth, sliders, labor, etc and you quickly have a $3,500 rebuild.
