Gauging interest in a Northern California 901 Rebuild Clinic at Original Customs in Sonoma California. This two day event will give you the opportunity to meet Dr. Evil before he drops his tools and picks up his stethescope on a permanant basis. The event will be held in December or later.

You also get to see McMark's facility up close and personal.

If you want in on this, sound off here!

Details: (edited by McMark)
Date: December 5-6 2009, two day event
Cost: $300 to build, $0 to spectate (yes, zero)
If you want to reserve your spot, you need to contact and pay Dr. Evil.
Transmission Gasket Sets are not included. Order yours from Dr. Evil, GPR, or McMark.
More info is here. (post #160 in this thread)

Thanks for setting this up, and thanks to Mike for doing these things. What a guy!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have at least four engine stands so we can set up at least four transmissions for rebuilding. If there's more than that, we can use tables.

As for my side of things, the cost is the same $300 I charge every John, er, person. You can bring as many gear boxes as you want, but I do not guarantee that you will get all of them built, just one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) You can buy parts from me, but I dont know how many used parts I will have left after the other 4 clinics. I must be crazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I need at least 4 paid customers to be viable.

Tough to get closer than that Randy... Mike is going to Canada to try to calm down the angry Canadiens. We will sooner or later go to war with them but we need to avoid it while we are spread so thin in Iraq and Afganistan, with North Korea rising... In October and November Mark has some jail time due to that indecent exposure charge... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) We have to go for December. Obviously early so we don't compete with Christmas shopping... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We have two that are interested and one who is 100% in... Who else wants to shift with ease? Can't beat that price! $300 bucks is less than 3 hours labor if you had this done in a transmission shop and you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself and becoming more knowledgeable...

Come on! Sign up for 901 Proctology 1 and 2! $300 and you are in!!!

We sense you are getting thin and be prepared, as soon as we can muster up enough methane we plan to "fart in your general direction" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)

Thanks for the invite over on the 912BBS. Put me down for a maybe on a rebuild - the date is the key factor. I have a soft 2'nd syncro (doesn't everyone?) that I have been living with for 9 years.

I live 10 miles from Sonoma.

I would love to attend, at least as a spectator, and I can also contribute some cash for the learning experience.

If things work out, I may even buy a gearbox for the occasion.

I have a number of core gearboxes. I'm pretty sure that in the end I'll have a spare box I'd be willing to sell, but I need to take inventory of what I have before I can commit to that. The goal was to take apart all the cores before the event so I could get enough guts together to build up two boxes. Dug has a gear stack jig (if that's what it's called) that I'm sure we could use if having an extra around would be helpful.

Extra jigs are helpful, sort of. It depends on how well it is done and how big it is. Most are just cut up cases and they are much bigger than they need to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

He had a plastic jig that I remember seeing. Something he purchased for Jerry Wood's rebuild clinic if I recall correctly.

OK - thanks. My 69 coupe is pretty much OK - every once in a while it "nicks" up-shifting to 2'nd. I am thinking it is a linkage adjustment/wear issue. But my 69 Targa has had a sluggish syncro into 2'nd since I got it in 2000. Sweepco helped a bit. I am hoping for the 1'st weekend in Dec as November is booked for me and the only other possibility would be the 3'rd weekend in Dec - but I expect that to possibly be a problem because my daughters birthday is the 20'th and I am not sure of what may get planned with that and Christmas.
