Dr. Evil Does The West Coast (now with a review), Dr. Evil Tranny Clinic in San Jose, CA Options

[Trevorg7]

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.

Some answers:

- You can get it done in one day, but with me teaching and answering lots of questions it will be a loooong day so be prepared. I am willing to start in late morning on Fri if that is cool with Trevor. I also work late (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

- Cost thus far is $300 for the class if you bring a tranny and I help you rebuild it. If anyone wants to stop by and bring a gear stack just to be diagnosed then no charge. I always diagnose for free.

- Observers are encouraged and welcome for free.

- No 915 this time. I think about 3 people have asked me, though so maybe in the future.

TWO THINGS TO DO BEFORE I GET THERE:

1) Drain your tranny! Please. Do not bring full trannies to the clinic. IF, you can not get those dang plugs out to drain it dont fret, just bring the nasty beast to the clinic and I will get the plug out, but please bring a container with you for the oil so you can take it home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

2) Pull your gear stack out following the instructions in my "tranny rebuild" link in my signature. Do this so you can inspect the pinion shaft teeth. If they are galled you will need another core and I would hate to waste your time. If you can not do this, let me know so we can work something out ahead of time to prepare for the wost.

Rob, I PMed you about parts and such. Feel free to ask me questions so we can get you set up.
