Who out there could use a rebuilt transmission for their beloved 914? How about if the chance to win said transmission were only $20!? Well, here is your chance!


What: Transmission auction, includes free labor for life and free used repair parts for life, free shipping to winner if in the lower 48!

For: To raise money for the Lee Cyr Memorial Build-off

Cost: $20 per ticket, $80 for 5, no limit on how many tickets you can buy!

Details: During my clinic at McMark's shop in Napa, SirAndy donated a good side shifter core for me to rebuild. I had so many great used parts and the core was in such good shape it was not a problem and the finished result is a perfectly working 901 transmission with stock gears. Many of the people there helped out with the rebuild by disassembly and cleaning (SirAndy, RobW, others whom I cannot recall) so that all I had to do was inspect and assemble. I had many great parts that went into this box, some of which were donated by the builders at the clinic like Dr. Roger (if you donated, speak up and be counted). There was so much generosity going on that I could not keep track of everyone. Pretty damn cool.
To get a gear box of this build you would have to provide me with a usable core or buy one from me ($200), pay for rebuild labor ($500) and used parts. This box is worth at least $1000-1200 if gotten from other builders like Carquip on ebay. The current configuration of the box is side shifter, but if it is won by someone who needs a tail shifter then I will gladly convert it over so you may use it. This box will give you many tens of thousands of miles of happy shifting if cared for per the manufacturers recommendations.

I will gladly be on retainer for any concerns or repairs should it need them for the duration of ownership! This box comes with FREE REPAIR LABOR FOR LIFE! If it has problems, all you need to pay for is new parts (wholesale price) unless I have great used which will be free, and shipping (<$100 via Greyhound coast to coast).

You can not afford to miss this deal! Buy tickets early and in mass to increase your chances.

We will be holding off on drawing until we reach $1000 in ticket sales. If we reach the $1000 mark soon, besides being completely awesome, then we will establish a date for the draw and continue selling tickets until said date. The duration of this auction depends on participation, so buy lots of tickets!

Any extra proceeds will be donated to Lee Cyr's passion, NET radio.

Here is a chance to get something awesome and to help your 914 brothers and sisters!

If everybody bought $80 worth of tickets, then each would have a 1:12.5 chance of winning! If everyone bought $20 worth of tickets then you have a 1:50 chance smile.gif

Dr. Evil is tempting you!

I'm in, even though I already have an EvilWerks box in my car.

Mike, might be worth noting that you have to select the "PERSONAL" tab to find the "GIFT" option. If they stay with the default setting, Ed is going to be hit with paypal fees.

Don't use the edwardblume@gmail.com (Paypal) account from this point on. While this is 100% charity, Paypal takes a different view.

PM RobW for different instructions and we'll figure out how to get you in for a donation from here.

We are at 72% and have a couple weeks before Christmas to go.

Thanks,
