Dr Evil's Tranny Clinic in Canada, part 3 pre-planner, late spring 2018 Options

[Mark Henry]

Talking to the doc he's up for another Dr Evil's Tranny Clinic in Canada at my place in central Ontario.
Right now we are thinking of late spring/ early summer. If after the May Two-Four the weather should be good enough for camping. The last clinic was mid June and we had perfect weather.

These clinics are huge fun, you get to walk away with a freshly rebuilt transmission and you get to meet many of our 914world brothers.

Price and details will be basically the same as the last clinic I hosted back in 2013.

I'm definitely interested. I'd be flying in from the San Francisco area so probably wouldn't bring a tranny, but happy to pay the full tuition.

I'd camp at the site. A place in the motorhome would be nice. Would be nice to not have to schlep a tent in my luggage.

I'm an long time autocrosser, but gearing up to start doing track events. I've rebuilt two boxes myself already with no major problems, but interested in improving my technique and knowledge. My interest is is building track trannys, so I'm interest in subjects like:
- gear ratio selection
- tips about swapping gear ratios
- 904 input shafts for non-standard 2nd gears
- installing/adjusting limited slip differentials
- checking pinion/ring gear alignment
- judgement in inspecting worn parts (i.e. what's ok to reuse, what should be tossed.)
- modifications to accept more horsepower (alum. intermediate plate?)
- information on the known weak points in the 901 (what breaks first when you start racing these things)
- use of 915 gearbox in 914

Exact schedule will impact my ability to come, so the sooner you can set a date the easier it will be for me to finalize plans.

Fantastic to see this happening. Just what I need!

To Canada?
If you were I'd make a vacation of it, 1000 lakes starting 10 minutes from my place, camping, fishing, or if you like city Toronto is less than an hour away.

No motorhome, I do have our tent trailer up for grabs. If a few guys want to split rent on a camp trailer I could ask a few neighbors if they would want to rent theirs out. Their's a couple of places that rent RV's and a few B&B around.

Space isn't a problem, lots of camping space, you could bring a transport truck if you want. Community campfire, Doc will bring his guitar, Beverages will be consumed, for those that stay and camp out.

Date will be set the first of the new year, or whenever the doc tells me the weekend he'll be coming.
