This is now on! Details below.
Here are our thoughts. Mike and I have talked off and on recently about my tail to side shift transmission conversion and I quickly realized that I lack the skills and tools required to complete this job successfully. While we were talking about shipping my transmission out to him, I floated the idea of having him come to the west coast; many reasons to do so but one being my transmission. If there is enough interest in Mike’s expertise (meaning people would pay to learn from him), Mike has offered to put on a clinic during his stay, price TBD, and teach, lead, and help the attendees with their fixes, rebuilds, and conversions. Here is what we know for sure. Place: 6890 Lenwood Way San Jose, CA 95120; Cell 408-499-0443 Date: January 4th and 5th Start Times: Noon on Friday and 9am on Saturday Provided: Beer (kegerator stocked with Kona’s Longboard Lager), driveway/garage space, compressor, limited (4) jack stands, some tools, etc. Who: Observers are free. If you cannot attend you may still drop your transmission off for work (contact Mike for cost/parts/etc). Participation is welcome (contact Mike for cost/parts/etc) Mike will also be bringing discount parts out with him. No 1st gear stuff however as he currently does not have any in stock. Additionally, Mike has a cash of core trannies that can be purchased directly from him. Shipping is approximately $80 via Greyhound. I am sure many can attest to Mike’s expert skills, this is a once is a ‘residency life time’ opportunity. Keep the questions coming. T |

I'm definitely in. Now it is just a matter of whether I will be there as an observer, or as a rebuilder?
I will have to determine the total cost to obtain a core and the necessary bits to convert to sideshift if all I can find is a tailshifter. I don't see a reason to stay tailshifter as everything I have read indicates the sideshifter is the way to go. I have a good tranny now, but know nothing about it (new car to me) and who knows how long it will last. Let me start checking around on a core transaxle (anyone have one they wanna sell cheap? or anyone wanna go in on one for the experience of rebuilding one? Hmmm?) I will let you know shortly. Oh, and January 4th is my birthday, Happy Birthday to me I get to hang out with crazy NARP owners, woohoo! Jim |
