Had a great time guys! It was great to meet all of you. Maybe in another 8-10 years, I can show off my 914!

And if anybody needs a hand with anything, (Thanks for lunch PanelBilly), let me know.

you had to be there. met a few new to me locals and enjoyed the company of familiar faces.

Yes. Great time meeting new people and getting tranny work done. I'm going to switch to a side shift tranny. So glad I made the trip. And thanks Billy for the brats and the corn. Best ever!

Between Marks amazing hosting / location, Billy's food and Dr. Evils (Mike) skill, we left with new friends and a pair of fresh transmission.

Btw. Dr. Evil demonstrated great bedside manner, although he almost fainted when Ana dropped a bolt into the freshly rebuilt trans

Oops. I forgot to thank Mark and his inlaws! What a great shop place to gather.

It's good of you to cover Drevil's needs, but what about everyone else there ?

Great clinic, got to meet a lot of new people, and learned a lot. Thanks Mike for your amazing knowledge of these transmissions and your ability to go all day long.

Thank you Mark and your inlaws for the great spot to host the clinic.

Just got the transmission back into the car and took it out for a quick test run......


WOW, Amazing, it drives like a new car. I have never had the first gear syncro before and second gear syncro was hit or miss but on the short drive every gear was smooth. Thank you Dr. Evil.

built and and motorvating the next day? wow! quick work! i opted to start with the cleanest box i had. It was a long weekend. Had a interesting experience sat night. Got home, showered up (11:30 pm), my heart was racing, ears were ringing and I felt like I had just got out of bed. then I remembered a MEK experience I had at a job long ago. I was overloaded on fumes and chemicals. Finally came down about 1:30am. Then got up at 6:15 to drive down on Sunday.

Glad my truck is a F-350. Had 15 cores that were striped for the good Drevil! I'll off load this Tuesday. Loaded down with

Anyone have any weird requests for parts off this pile (drevil took the good tid bits).
Perhaps music gears for welding a makeshift trophy or gag gift. Let me know ASAP!

A huge thanks to Mark and his family for providing a shop and making us welcome.

Also, a huge thanks to Dr. Evil for sharing his knowledge and for being an excellent teacher.

I am very glad I was able to attend this clinic. I expected to meet some great people (because car nuts) and I wasn't disappointed. What a fun group of friendly people.

Cheers!

mike, can you look in the gasket set box and look for the throw out arm pivot clip, small cup bushing, and 2 throw out bearing retaining pieces? i forgot to grab them.

I was meaning to come by and spectate and bring Panel Billy his shift rod and new bushing and see what the Evil one thought of the bushing. Got involved with a leaking roof and couldn't get there.

Mark PM sent

Sorry I couldn't make it.
Looked like fun was had by all.
I was on the fence, but the prospect of suffering the good Doc's noxious ass fumes again helped make up my mind

Hey Dr. Evil. Notice who is post #222 in this thread.

Happens to me all the time... ALL THE TIME!

Do we need to plan to go out there and clean up your father in law's garage floor?

Nope. We did a pretty decent job of cleaning. Left our damage deposit and he's going to help us by taking all the garbage to the dump. It went very well.

Billy you were the best for the brats! Did you get paid by those who ate?

I have them PM address and I will get out to you.

Your monkey looks angry did you just spank it?

I "Marked" my bitch at the clinic This also gave me an idea for the next EvilWerks shirts

In total, I bought 15 cores and due to the kindness of a few people I was able to harvest all the parts from them.
