Same.

I haven't booked yet. Need to see when I can get into town. I will try to get off early that day, but I will be leaving an 8 hour shift to drive 7 hours. Gonna be a looooong day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If you come back here I suggest some place other than the far side of Shelton.

Well a Shelon location is better than what Kevin offered!
I can help by housing Dr. Evil, don't have a shop place other than Shelton. So who's offering a spot in the Seattle area?

I can offer my usually empty condo in downtown Seattle. Not sure that helps. PM me if it's useful, as I might miss a response on this thread.

Update" A bit behind schedule, I have the transaxle out and case washed (Engine degreaser at the local do-it-yourself car wash)

(My 'ace in the hole' if needed is a spare transmission in my mom's barn... But that's a 74 914-4 so different gear ratios... but could steal parts if needed... )

Plan is to get the gear stack out in next day of two for inspection.

Have hotel near airport, carpooling down w LowBridge so lots of 914 talk on trip down!

It will be the one marked without a label, just for you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I'll take the second from the bottom left (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif).

It was nice to give my case a coat of alumi-blast today and not worry about masking off the nuts. Looking forward to next weekend.

Merry xmas!

I'm planning on bringing Kermee with the box in it to have you take a look at the oil as it drains & then we'll pull the stack for inspection & replace whatever is necessary. Also got another box of unknown condition I'm bringing...

[hot_shoe914]

Maybe I should pop in, will not be that far away when I drop a horse off in North Carolina on Saturday morning.

Doing a remove and install at the clinic is a no go. I will be tasked with 8 people and unless you can get it out and in, and have clearance from Scotty as I don’t know his space situation, but know it’s limited, there is no way to accomplish this.

Thanks for the info about the shiny new hardware! I was wondering about that... Heading out to garage shortly to finish disassembly of intermediate plate.

Is there a 'special tools list' that I should think about packing as I stare at my roller tool box, wondering what I should take?

... like a 'big azz wrench' or special deep socket so we don't have to use an adjustable like A saw in a thread somewhere here... Hangars and parts boxes to keep parts organized? Snap ring pliers?

I just spotted a broken race on the inside of the intermediate plate, maybe the reverse gear, bearings were held in place till I took it apart... I assume this is one of the bearings in the kit?

Sorry I'm behind schedule, hopefully pics coming soon!

Where did you get the idea that you had to do a full tear down? That all happens at the clinic. I hope you saved th gasket so we can measure it. No special tools needed, I bring all of that. Bearings in the kit are both roller bearings and both int plate bearings.

You can look in my signature below for links to last clinics for more clarity. The instructions are the same every time.

[Movin6]

Hope I did it right... Here is a link to photos of the gear stack. Hopefully all is good / re-build-able. I had the impression this was the minimum needed to do to get the stack out. I have the gasket.

Cool. I just need to see the ring and pink on teeth to assure it’s buildaenim current form. If either are junk, you would either need to find another box, or I have to take yours with me as I won’t have time to set it p a r/p at the clinic and likely won’t have my tools. Looks ok in pics.

No special tools. Regular stuff like 13mm socket, etc.
