Early June shouldn't be too hot. Probably upper 80's. DB usually gets a nice delta breeze. July and august can cause your ear wax to melt...

I don't have a trans to rebuild but would like to sit in and watch and listen.

Would this be ok?

I will be rebuilding a trans in the future, but $300 seems a little steep. I guess the question I have is will the clinic have more benefits than the CD I purchased?


Well, it depends on your perspective. At the clinic you finish with a rebuilt transmission that you did. The parts you need are there for you. I am there to answer all questions and clarify anything that may not be clear. The DVD is great, but would you rather learn via DVD or hands on with your box being done at the end of the weekend? I have done several of these and have nothing but accolades from attendees.

Mike,

What is typical cost on parts that need replacing?

Im not sure if I want to fork the cost to rebuild my box... Im changing trani's sometime this year and dont think I would get it back...


I DO know that I will be attending the clinic! 45 mins from my house? Hell ya. I may even have my car done by then. (Why do events always have to be in hot weather? Arg..)


Typical parts are as listed previously. Typical cost is about $600-650 with the max no more than $1000 if you had to buy EVERYTHING used from me as I can cap the price and still provide the parts. Again, not looking to fleece anyone.

The big part is 1st gear slider. It lists for about $500 on its own. I have a few good used for much less. I can get new ones for whole sale, not sure what the price is currently, but I can call.

Yes, of course. See first post. All on lookers are welcome and free! People only need pay if they are rebuilding a box.

There is really a place called Disco Bay?

Do they have a big mirrored ball in the town square?

And no to the Disco ball (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Although at ski beach it's not uncommon to see one on a boat with topless women dancing. We pull anchor and leave by 3 so as not to expose the kids to it...

Cost is $300 per person, unlimited transmissions.

Dear Evil One,
how about 915 transmissions?
I have one that is in need of a limited slip. Is that something that would fit within the framework of you transmission clinic?

Sincerely,
a secret admirer of your handiwork.

Andy, for you only, bring it and we can monkey with it. I promise nothing, but bring dyechem. At worst, you will need to have to have it readjusted.

Andy, I'll PM you.

For the others, it is happening so it is time to get your funds in order. Parts are first come first served and the good used 1st gear sliders are the 1st to dry up. Already have one sold to the first participant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I do refund purchase prices on parts not needed. I will guide you and generally it is only one part that may need refunding.

Is this cost (600-650) the total including the 300 or is that the total of just parts.
i'm in, I need to know where when and how much to send you, I would be buying used parts from you.

Thanks, another Jeff

I recalculated the parts cost and $740 is the top normal if you need a bearing and score a good used first. If you buy a new 1st slider it will cost more, of course. The $740 price is for the following (all used except the seal kit):

2 dog teeth
2 bands
1 pinion bearing
1 1st slider
Seal kit
Tuition

If you do not need the bearing then it is $650. Not bad, eh? If you have to buy a new 1st slider I work with you to keep prices down on what I have control over. I have a few good sliders for sale, only sold one for this clinic about an hour ago.
