6freak, ya I do understand....but I'm including shipping and covering the cost of tools if not returned, I do have over $300.00 invested.....so I'm getting $75.00 for the risk and packaging. Sorry, do not want to offend anyone, I have donated time, parts and information to a numbers of members. Best, Mark

Buy Dr Evil's video and dig in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Fun project. After doing a stock ratio A-F-N-V-ZD, I did a close ratio A-F-M-S-ZD. I have a couple more boxes for future use. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks 6freak, and the 30 days is not firm, just keep people on task. And yes, Doctor Evil videos a must, purchase dog teeth, synhros , gasket set, before hand when you find them on sale. Best, Mark

Well, you don't need them till you are ready to assemble and that isn't a long process. I have done two now and find them kinda fun. The alignment tool is plastic and inexpensive. I was forced to find alternatives to the tool that removes the teeth. Not exactly pretty.

I bought the tool from PP.
And I found that it does not fit correctly on the "old style" dog teeth.
The thin part that engages with the slot on the dog tooth gear does not seat properly.

So if I see gear sets with the clip ring that has the "tab" on the end, I assume they are the old style and I do not want them.

Anyone else know about this? (I could get pics of what I mean)

Why not charge a deposit of $300 and refund it when the tools are returned in good condition? If longer than 30 days add on to the cost? You have little risk that way and gives the person an motivation to get the job done and return the tools.

I would charge a $300 - 400 deposit once the tools are returned withdraw the rental fee and return the remaining deposit

Thats getting to be to much work. I really value all my tools, and certainly plan on doing more 901 transmissions, it was a lot of fun (like worn). That said, I'm trying to keep it simple for a few people not the masses. Maybe PP or some other parts supplier should provide this service with more skill and time than myself. Mark

As usual, guy offers a service and everyone jumps in to tell him what (and how) he should do with his tools. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I've thought about renting out the tools to do a /6 rebuild, I only do 1-3 builds a year and could work around them. I've also thought about renting out my O2 wide band meter back when they were more spendy.

Everytime I determined it wasn't worth the hassle or the possible loss/damage of my tools.
YMMV (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
