I Just noticed that this event is going to be on "Graffiti weekend", which is the annual american graffiti tribute car show that I am prepping my car to attend(the official reveal).. ARG.

Damn! Now I might be able to drive up to watch for a couple of hours (I was previously planning on coming to watch for a day), but I need to attend this the car show...

Damn..

Long time lurker here. Bought a '74 1.8L in desperate need of some TLC recently. First, let me thank everyone who has posted and is active on 914world. I have learned so much about my 914. It's simply awesome that we are keeping these great cars alive.

Sent my check in a while ago. Picked up an old used 901 side-shifter cheap. I'm hoping that I can get some replacement parts out of it, at the very least. See everyone at the clinic.

Dr.Evil: will you have extra DVDs at the clinic? The one I have skips in certain parts, making it miss a sentence or two.

By the way, I'm in Santa Clara, CA.

Fernando, I will have DVDs at the clinic. I will give you another copy then, or mail one out now if you prefer. Sorry for the recording error.

June 11-12

Cost is $300 per person, unlimited transmissions. I have good used parts, and new parts will be at whole sale with 0% mark-up. If you are not building, it is free to watch. I supply special tools, instruction, parts, noxious fumes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Price includes stainless hardware, cleaner, rags, basins, gloves, transmission rebuild DVD for those who dont already have it.




I skimmed through the posts and did not see anywhere the hours for this clinic. I'm assuming its a 9am-5pm type of thing for each day. The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to attend, but I do have an appointment in Stockton at 7pm on Saturday, so I'd have to leave about 4-5pm to go get ready. Does that leave me enough time or is this thing a day and evening thing on Saturday and I'd miss all the action.

I did mine at the last clinic and left at 5:00 with a complete transmission!

Stockton is only 30 minutes away so even if you leave at 6:00 you still have an hour!

Yeah, but I have to get into a suit, and I don't imagine I'll be working in my suit at the clinic. I also have to pick up my gf, but thanks, at least it gives me hope that I won't be missing out on something if I sign up.

June 11 is coming quick! I don't see my name on the tuition paid list, but hopefully the good doctor will update it.

Other than what's already shown in the Haynes manual method or the pelican write-up, does anyone have some tips and tricks for dropping the transmission (+engine)? I'll have to plan this out in preparation for the class. I have all the typical garage tools: plenty of jack-stands, 2 jacks, a furniture dolly, creeper, etc.

Thanks!

PNW was a BLAST! This is looking to be just as kick ass!

Now that you mention it, I'm not sure where I'm going either... I do have my 2 gasket sets! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I'm out, due to a complicated series of events. I am sad since I had acquired a spare trans specifically for this purpose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Dr. Evil you want a "demo" trans to rebuild during the class!?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dem, PM me and I will see if I can help you out.

The location is to be sent to people by the host, I think. I can provide it for those needing it as I do have it but will not post it (its not mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ).

First post updated...
