I can't do the 10th weekend... Its fine with me if George can host the event on the 10th or if it goes back to Mike's pace as originally planned.

I think what's more important is attendance at the event and it being convenient for the attendees.. My place is very cool and has lots of benefits, but its just not conveniently located for most.

Is there anyway to guesstimate what the average cost of parts is? I understand every transmission is different and I am certainly not trying to corner you on a number but just a ballpark expectation based on the transmissions you have done in the past.


QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Jun 16 2009, 01:10 PM) *

The important stuff ( clarified 6/18):
*If you bring one or more gear boxes for rebuild then the cost is $300
*Spectating is free and you can ask questions (but will have to wear a thong on the out side of your pants so we know you are freeloading (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )
*The cost includes: gloves, rags, cleaners, parts trays, aluminum baking sheets for parts cleaning spots, sarcasm, foul language (when no kids around), etc.
*New parts area available through me ( I will beat any suppliers prices, let me know). Seal kits area available before hand for $40
*People are encouraged to bring cores to part out as people will potentially need more parts than I will have.
*The clinic is 2 full days and I will work as long as you do. I usually start at 0930 and go until after 2200 if necessary.
*PM me if you are going to be a paying guest and make sure to tell me which clinic you are going to attend.

That is totally possible. I have asked everyone that is bringing a box to tell me what their symptoms are so I can give them a best case, worst case scenario.

Mine has been sitting on the floor of my garage for 2-3 years, symtoms unknown. Would photos do any good?

Pulling the tail cone and checking the 1st gear parts would be a good idea. Those are the money parts and pulling the cone is easy.

This sounds like a hoot! I may try to make it up to observe/harass.

If anyone needs a disassembled tail shift trans with "almost everything" I've got one for free / pickup in Jax, FL.

Or if I come up, I can bring it with me.

I have initiated contact with AA, but I have not heard back. I can not consider this concrete and start accepting dues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I have yet to hear back from AA so I think it would be a good idea to come up with an alternative location (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I forwarded my info to George to pass onto one of his henchmen to set it all up....Bueller? Bueller?

So, where can we hold this now??

I got the contact info for our agent inside of AA from George so things are still on without a hitch. I will be contacting him tomorrow.

For those of you that are able, ( tranz not in car, or car not needing it before the clinic) to figure out what parts you may need, I recommend you pull the stack beforehand. Instructions on doing that (for the side shifter) are in my rebuild link below. You can post pics here and I can Dx your parts needs.

I am really tempted to make it and bring 2 side shifters of unknown condition
that I need rebuilt.

I have not been monitoring too closely, is there a FL session in the works?

If it was winter, I could host one here in Melbourne but I don't know how
convenient that would be for many people (other than me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)).
