This is now on! Details below.

Here are our thoughts. Mike and I have talked off and on recently about my tail to side shift transmission conversion and I quickly realized that I lack the skills and tools required to complete this job successfully. While we were talking about shipping my transmission out to him, I floated the idea of having him come to the west coast; many reasons to do so but one being my transmission.

If there is enough interest in Mike’s expertise (meaning people would pay to learn from him), Mike has offered to put on a clinic during his stay, price TBD, and teach, lead, and help the attendees with their fixes, rebuilds, and conversions.

Here is what we know for sure.

Place: 6890 Lenwood Way San Jose, CA 95120; Cell 408-499-0443
Date: January 4th and 5th
Start Times: Noon on Friday and 9am on Saturday
Provided: Beer (kegerator stocked with Kona’s Longboard Lager), driveway/garage space, compressor, limited (4) jack stands, some tools, etc.
Who: Observers are free. If you cannot attend you may still drop your transmission off for work (contact Mike for cost/parts/etc). Participation is welcome (contact Mike for cost/parts/etc)

Mike will also be bringing discount parts out with him. No 1st gear stuff however as he currently does not have any in stock. Additionally, Mike has a cash of core trannies that can be purchased directly from him. Shipping is approximately $80 via Greyhound.

I am sure many can attest to Mike’s expert skills, this is a once is a ‘residency life time’ opportunity.

Keep the questions coming.

Alrighty, I have a box of stainless nuts and bolts headed to your house, Trevor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I may just start shipping parts to you, too. I just went through my enormous stash of parts and I found that I have a few usable 1st sliders if anyone is in need. I'll be shipping them and a bunch of synchro teeth, syncro bands, bearings, sliders...etc.

I gutted my 912 tranny to get the MSX gears so they can go out soon. We had blackouts for the last few days so shipping has been slow. Ice storms are Mother Natures way of saying, "Live somewhere else!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Man, this clinic cant come fast enough! Two checks have arrived: scrz914, and my off line customer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Who was it that wanted the ZD 5th gear set? I forget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Sounds good. Maybe I'll wrap it and put it under the tree, open it on Christmas, and let my kids look at me funny...a box of nuts and bolts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Maybe I will send you an inflatable sheep, too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I am shipping out a core tranny for one of our attendees tomorrow. The GrayHound depot is 10mi down Almaden from you.

you guys are gonna have a blast!

sure mike isn't pleasant to look at and has problems with social skills and playing well with others but the boy can do up a tranny!! (yep, lobbed this one up....)

i have a side shifter that he took care of for me when i was a mere 90 miles away back in MD and it is great. smooth as butter..... will soon mate it up with the mcmark motor and i will be cruisin'!

be sure that you watch the shims under your clutch pivot ball. mike got a great laugh out of that with me.

he does great work so take advantage of this opportunity!

cheers,

scott

Ha! I am glad that you waited until AFTER the flight was booked to say that. You forgot my impeccable hygiene. Ever seen the Worlds Fastest Indian? Burt Munro was a clean freak compared to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

50 ext. way loud but fun.

I finally got my tranny apart and I think it all looks good. After 85K miles, it wasn't grinding, kept its oil, and there was nothing shiny in the bottom. Take a look though because I don't know squat.

I do want to redo the gaskets all around.

Thanks again, R

Hey Rob,
From what I can see in your pics, 1st looks to bee in great shape. I cant tell what the slider is like, but the synchro teeth look good and the synchro band looks to be barely abused which = the rest of the parts are probably in great shape. Be happy!
