PNW and Western Canada Transmission Clinic, how about Aug? Options

[914werke]

Holy crap Kev. I member you had a lot of stuff packed in there!!

[rhodyguy]

i've shrunk the mass down quite a bit. if i can sell a few engines there will be enough room to insulate and finish it off for a rental "cottage". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) when the master's tournament comes to the tacoma area next year, i hope to have some motor homes parked in the driveway feeding the cash register.

Alright, I am still trying to un-fuck my data sheet that was lost when my computer rebooted (never happened before to excell). So, I also have confusion as screen names dont match real names and I have duplicates on my list, probably.

First, who is still owed a bearing set that paid for it?
- Jet you have two less the big bearings, that one I know.
- Blair, 912 from CA has a set

That should be it.

Second, who the hell is coming? Here is my list:

Rhodyguy - got bearings
NORD (RIP, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) - If I can get a hold of family to refund, I will and should have his bearing set for nine9three.
Jurgen - paid last time and couldnt go, covered this time
Bradtho - Jurgen's beyotch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
Hank914 - paid, got bearings
Mark - Covered, host
Jet - Darren and Wife
Blair - not on this site
??? - gonna have to look up this one, no name recorded but paid
Marcus - I know who you are
Tom(nine9three) - Have you paid for the clinic? Date so I can enter it into my sheet?
J. Young - check arrived today, who are you???


Anyone missing??? PM me so I can get my stuff straight.

Third, may of you have extra cores. Figure that one extra core should be sufficient to supply your rebuild transmission with parts. If you have other spare cores, I am interested. PM me to let me know what you have. With all the spare cores, looks like I may lose my ass on this as far as parts sales....such is life. I need to do more East clinics where the cores tend to be scarce (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Dr Evil]

Also, things that can help you out:

- Table. Does not need to be huge. A 2'x2' space is sufficient for the whole build. Bring to share is nice.

- Cordless impact driver. This will expedite diassembly and reassembly. I will bring mine, but more is better.

- Hammers and punches.

- You will only need the following sockets; 10, 13, 14, 19. You can bring, but I will have, deep 30mm.

- Large snap ring pliers are nice. If you cant find, I will supply one or two sets. Not much of an issue, but it is a rate limiting step.

- Gloves, white rags (painters rags) not the red ones that leave red crap in and on everything.

- Brake cleaner. One can can do a whole transmission if you do not get crazy.

- Drain it before the clinic. If not, I will have to throw you in the sound!

I think that is it. Ask questions so I can clarify anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Lodging: I know this location might be a tad out of the way, but it's a place.
There is the Little Creek Casino that isn't too far away and cheaper rates inside Shelton (Motel 6 and such).

There is some limited tent space on the property, yet it's not to level. We've got a shower in the house and those who need to clean up should bring bring their own shower supplies.

LUNCH: I'll have access to a grill and we can do up some simple burgers, dogs, or brats. I'm going to be building a tranny so I'm not going to be able to BBQ up things. If enough interest, I'll accept $$ donations. Otherwise bring your own lunch. I'll also try to fill a cooler with ice so one can deposit their beverage of choice to chill.

Any other inquiries: shoot me a text or call (509)553-9246 on my personal cell or PM me here.

Is it getting too late to do the trans clinic?

I am seriously thinking about pulling the tranny on the 914 and heading up for the clinic, the only problem on the tranny is the 1st and 2nd gear syncro's are worn. I also have a 1968 912 that also has the same problem and would like to learn from the 914 trans.

If too late I would like to be a spectator and help out also interested in purchasing a DVD.

[Dr Evil]

Not too late. PM me and we can work out the details.

[rhodyguy]

off watch, i have an extra new gasket set if you should decide to participate.

[helios]

I've got a prior engagement I've committed to in the evening in Marysville...

But I may pop by and harass some old faces earlier in the day. Been a while since I've been on the ferry, so it may be a good excuse to cruise down Whidbey Island, pop across the water to Port Townsend, then back across to Edmonds.

Great, put my name on it. Let me know how much.

[rhodyguy]

chris, thats the REAL long way to the clinic!

[helios]

It's either that or all the way down I-5 around Tacoma and back up. Might as well make it scenic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

And I just realized I meant Edmonds on the return trip, not Mulkiteo. I always get those 2 screwed up.

[rhodyguy]

screw I-5 thru seattle. I-5, 405, 167, 512, then I-5 south.

off watch (real name?). i'll bring the set with me. bringing them all actually.
i also have an extra throw out arm pivot clip, throw out arm ball cup bushing, and the 2 plastic retaining pieces for the throw out bearing itself. all in a little over $50. we'll settle up at the clinic.

[Daiberl]

So where are most people plan to stay, I haven't booked anything yet.

Mike,

Ill be there on Sunday as we discussed. What time will you and the guys begin work on Sunday? Also, please check your records but my check ($300) showed that it cleared the 28th of July. Looking forward to this!

[rhodyguy]

Mike, do you want me to pull the lever consoles to drain the rest of the lube? Did the drain plugs and tilted them on their sides.

Gotcha, Tom. I just had to reconcile the real with the screen name. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The more oil gotten out = less oil for Mark to deal with after I leave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I drained my tail shifter completely and scrubbed it clean as a whistle. And I also pulled off the tail cone and took out the gears. Bringing everything with me. I got a can of break cleaner also.

I'll be there Saturday am, what time does it start?

Also, when should we expect it to wrap up?

Did any previous clinics finish in one very long day, or do they all go two days?

And I was not able to come up with a table. Should I look for a folding one from a local Costco?

Thanks!
