It was great meeting everyone. Thanks Stephen for the pork and rice, excellent. Also, thanks for the differential (901 Box). You have to love Dr. Evil, very entertaining and incredible knowledge on the transmission. I hope to do it again when I get the other trans out and will eagerly await his next local clinic. Anyway, great weekend and great bunch of people. Steve

Thanks to Mike (Dr. Evil) and Scotty for leading and hosting the event, Stephen for the really good pig, and bozo914 (I didn’t catch the name) for the great chili. And thanks to all who helped. It was a super learning event and it was amazing to watch Mike tear open a transmission and toss the parts out helter-skelter as we newbies were trying to remember how it came apart – no chance!

I Think Stephen Aki said it best, but I'd like to thank Mike, Steven, Blizzard and the rest of the guys!
What a great day and excellent to hang around with like minded (a.k.a. "Crazy") 914 owners. I truly appreciate the abuse I took from Mike and his willingness to give much to our community. Great Pig (thanks for the recipie) Lots of fun!, Thanks Dr. and all! ...hmmm one fleeting thought... Did one of us tighten the input shaft on my transmission??????... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! |

Hats off to Stephen for the pig. I had a great weekend and met some really great people. It is amazing how much I learned. Being able to watch the Dr. work and then have him explain how things worked was amazing.
I hope I was helpful to those that I tried to lend a hand to. I think I did it wrong a couple of times on my trans before trying to help others. But of course there was that first gear incident on Stephens trans but we are never going to speak about that again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I would do it again this weekend. Put the trans on the motor tonight.  |

There will always be things that happened in the life of a 40-year old car that will make you wonder how that happened. But I have just been scraping away some of the rough spots and polishing it a bit. Well a lot when it comes to the trans. But all the trans needed was some first gear dog teeth and a few scynros. Hope the Dr. gets your trans sorted. I consider myself an average shade tree mechanic but this guy is friggin awesome! Learned so much in a couple of days it was unreal. Even if you don't want to build a trans, doing this clinc just puts you in such a good position to understand the trans and prevent any big issues because you did not have the right information. If he comes to TX you should go! |

Got the motor in last Monday and everything all tweaked and dialed in today. Took the car for the first drive with the fresh transmission. What a difference 5th gear makes!! Very smooth through all gears. Thanks to everyone for all the help and knowledge they provided. This car has been off the road since 1991...Now on to the fun stuff!!!

Got my engine and trans back in the car. Have to put everything back on the topside but should be ready for a drive this week.
Going to have to teach my wife to drive the car now that the trans is in good shape. But I guess I know how to rebuild it so I have no more excuses. |

Drove the car for a short time this afternoon. No grinding into first! Shifts like a dream. Just a little catch on reverse going into second at times. Needs a little adjustment. Have not driven it at highway speed yet.
But I did notice my reverse lights are on all the time. I did not think there was an orientation to the wires. But I was wondering if I should swap them around or look for something else? |

The lights are defaulted to off. You need either a short between the two wires in the plug outside of the switch, or you probably installed the pin under the switch backwards and it is always pushing the switch to ON. There is not order to the wires.

There is not order to the wires. I bet it is the pin. If I helped you install your backup switch at the clinic you may want to check it because I think I did them the same way. |
