If it works out, I can get Dem's tranny to the event if he can deliver it to me in San Carlos at work.

Thanks for the kind gesture. I've PM'd the good Doctor to see what we can do. I'll let you know!

This brings up a good point that I should have thought to include in other clinics. I can easily rebuild a few gear boxes whilst teaching others. As such, if people can not make it they can still send their boxes and parts ahead and I will take care of it. I will gladly do this for Dem. I can fit a few more in if there is a need.

Plus, it gives the spectators something to do as I enlist them to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I will want to do this one as a show-and-go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Then Dem has it rebuilt by the "all knowing master of all things transmission".....well, just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Dem will be dropping off his trans with me in the next few days. I will bring it to the clinic and return it to Dem. Sam Adams will do an assist with lifting it into my truck.

Dem, I am also willing to take your transmission and be a back-up if you run into any difficulties. I am planning to take my car's tranny (need to pull it out at home) and a spare tranny (possibly rebuildable; if not, for spare parts). Easy to fit a third in my SUV.

I'm in Santa Clara, close to El Camino and San Tomas.

Thanks Fernando - Mike is right on my way to work, so I think I'm ok. Gonna clean it up this weekend and drop it off next week.

Still sad I am going to miss the clinic. Transmissions are something I never felt up to tackling myself.

To all of those who will be attending this clinic, please send me a PM and I will reply with the location information, phone numbers and a mapquest link to my house!

As an overview,

I am located 30 minutes West of Highway 5 and Stockton on Highway 4!

From the West I am located 35 minutes East of Antioch near Brentwood. You take the Highway 4 to the Highway 4 Bypass and follow the signs to Discovery Bay/Stockton Left at Marsh Creek Rd, Turn Right at Highway 4 and keep Left twards Stockton!

Or if you are driving a Teener you might enjoy taking Marsh Creek Road East from Walnut Creek or Concord all the way!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Quite a twisty road around Mt. Diablo!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

If you are on 580 you would exit North on Vasco Road and turn Right on Marsh Creek Road until you hit Highway 4 and turn Right! Follow Highway 4 East (keep to the Left) a few miles to Discovery Bay! There is a slightly quicker way (about 4 minutes) but it is complicated and alot of people get lost!!

I drive to SF every Sunday and home every Monday so I know it takes about 1 3/4 hours or less with no traffic from down town SF to my front door!

Livermore is about 35 minutes

Walnut Creek is about 45-50 on Marsh Creek Rd

I am looking forward to making this a good experience for everyone involved! I am planning on Smoking some tri-tip so if anyone wants to bring side dishes and snack stuff that would be great!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

This just in! I am heading to GPR after this event to work with Jonathan on all things transmission (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think there will be a huge source of used parts in the near future. If I can pair him with Mark (Mikes914) for parts, I bet I can get the price of these things lowered for new!

I just shipped out the side shift bits to GoPack, and a parts package to Jeff. There is another parts package coming from the PNW, too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

T-7 and counting
