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.



I have a spare 901 to use for the class, but my question - what's best / worst case for parts.

Also do you cover flipping gear sets and installing limit slips, like Gear Vendors?

Thanks.

LSD = no. Too much time, needs its own course. I can discuss it and you will understand how to do it, but we will not be doing any.

Gear swaps are easy and yes we can do them that day if you have the sets. I have a sheet of gears on my rebuild thread that Aaron Cox made. It covers everything and you can print it.

I dont understand your question about scenarios for parts?

December is always a busy time for me but I'd love to come hang out and be a spectator. I have rebuilt enough 901's over the years. I might be able to come up with a gear jig (metal OE style) and dog teeth pullers.

If I use my extra transmission for the class and take it totally apart I'd like to repair whatever needs fixing.

Neither of us knows the condition of the transmission before it's apart, but you've done tons of them and must have a feel for what it could cost for parts. I guess the best case would be zero, i.e., everything is perfect. The worst case, broken gears, synchros or whatever.

Thanks.

My Guard TB equipped 901 will be coming apart for an MSX gear swap if it doesn't exceed the parameters of the clinic...

I have a source for 1st gear sliders at $350, fyi.

915 will not be included as I will not have the tools and time to do them.

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.

What is a guard TB?

If we have a good heat source we can swap in billet plates if you have them. A bench vice is necessary for the clinic.

Guard TB = Guard Torque Biasing Differential. Kind of like LSD but better for autocrossing. Moves the torque to the wheel that isn't slipping.

Guard is a brand name. Paul Guard lives in Auburn, just up Hwy 80 from me. I might be able to coax him down to talk a bit... Doubt it though. 914 guys are notoriously cheap and the TB unit costs about $1200.00 retail...

I just want to swap in some MSX gears to make it a close ratio box. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I realized what you meant by TB after I posted, but then got busy with a call from degreeoff which, of all things, is going to have me install a TB diff for him (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I just woke up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I pointed him towards Guard. I like their stuff and Paul seems like a nice guy, and I love Auburn.

Mark has an oven there that he uses for powder coating. It's big enough to fit a trailing arm.

I am in on this event depending on what day in Dec it is scheduled!

My 6 trans has a constant wine at any speed in all gears but shifts great! It started when I took it in for a PPI and the mechanic gave it back broken! My guess is that he missed shift??

Sounds like a bad diff or bearing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Yup, we can bring a whole gear stack up to 500+ degrees. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have this jig.

Cool, that will help if anyone needs to get 1st gear off of the main shaft.

Also, I am not available for the 15-16-17 as my wife's birthday is on the 16 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

X-mas is out, of course so we are looking at early Dec thus far.

I am definitely interested, my tranny has issues, and I'm clueless, but enthusiastic! It will ultimately depend on the date, but if I can make it in any way, shape or form I'll be there!

I am inclined to call it December 5th and 6th pending approval by the other principals involved. Mark? Mike?

A lot more interest than I anticipated. For that reason, I think we should nail down a date asap... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Tentatively, yes. But, I need to see how the interview season is going to go. I need to get interviewed to get into a program, ya know? We can shoot for that date and I wont take payment until we get closer.

Cool! What kind of residency are you shooting for? UC Davis has close to a million (gross exageration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) residents spread all over the NorCal Hospitals...

Mark will probably not have a problem with this date. I will call him and have him consult his big brain sometime today...
