The calendar shows Easter is the last weekend Sunday the 30th, might not be good.

I'm open all other days. Let's see who can host and fit thier schedule. Kelty 360 was offering his Renton Area location..

Dr. Where do we order this seal kit? Is this also the gasket kit?

PNW people lets chime in here and get this planned.

count me in as a spectator

My last conversation with Mark (Mr.242) had Dave down at Triad hosting in his shop. Mark was kind of driving the tranny clinic bus at that point so lets wait to hear from him.

Hey Steve did you ever get your fire damage sorted out?

pattison lake (triad location) is a long way from everywhere. takes me 45 minutes to get there from my house.

I'd be in as a spectator fo'sho'. I'm really good a poking fun, getting in the way and being a general menace.

I'll bring my set of trans tools along and I'll help in any way I can. That includes beer drinking, grilling and whatever is needed. . .

I sure hope it's not the weekend of March 1st/2nd as I'll be in Hawaii. . . The rest of the month is clear for me.

So far March looks very good besides the first weekend, will be on a business trip until 3/1. I might bring a transmission I have for the LE and the one from my -6 also so if someone wants to participate but needs a transmission to work on let me know

Probably not going to be early March as I have Hershey at end of April. Not good to schedule things too close = burn out.

Interested pending final date and location.( Renton would be perfect!)

Ah, Renton. I fell in love with twins (girls) from Renton, once. Bitter sweet memories.

Count me in as a builder. I gots a 1st gear that likes to pop out at takeoff, and a 2nd gear that likes to grind when downshifting from any speed but near-zero. A good candidate?
Chris

Yes, when? Where? Still in the air.

I will be out of town the first week in March. I am definitely, I have a side shift that was given to me and I don't know the state of it so this would be a great time to figure it out.

C'Mon Nate! Let's do this at your place! Pleeeeeeeease??

Not going to be first weekend. So, which of the others? Where? It may have to be moved to June or later if I can not pin down a date.

not June. My motor is coming out soon for new heads so that would be perfect in March.

Did you guys know that Nate has a casino across from his place and a tax free chevron gas station! smokes and booze. Anacortes is a lot closer to me also.

As long as I have a ride to and from the airport, I am open to any useful venue.

Easter is the only weekend that I'm out too. I've been asking around to see if we can use a shop in renton, but haven't had any luck yet

I'm in I need to crack open the last one I did at the clinic and figure out why it won't stay in fourth gear.

It sounds like Mark (Mr.242) and Dave at Triad were planning this, so I don't want to step on any toes with an offer to host at this point. Lets hear from them first.

If there is ever a prob with one of the rebuilds, contact me. I havent been in the PNW for a while, this been a problem for that long? You are welcome to show up and I will tear into it for you, no charge of course. Also, you can always ship it to me, same deal.

Sounds good. I hear Dave may have cramped quarters, though.

They've got about the space of a double garage to play with, so I guess it'd depend on how many you're expecting... Nate's place is huge of course! Let's see what Dave @ Triad says!!

Mr.242 contacted me last fall about doing a clinic at my place in Forest Grove. Never heard back from him ...............

I can open up 1000 to 1500 sq. ft. if need be.
Not real handy for the folks in Seattle.
But just a thought.

Could do dinner at the Grand Lodge ..........

SCCA Autocross Sunday the 16th at PIR.
Easter in April 20th. this year.

Yeah, that's kind of where I stand also.

KELTY, you offered last time we brought this up, as well. Sorry, I forgot. I PM you and we can talk.

I am looking at the last weekend in March. Does this work for everyone? If so, I will submit request tomorrow.

Just RSVPing here. Dates should be fine. Western WA preferred if possible. My son Miles will also attend barring school soccer commitments.

Greg

I've been away... sorry fellas. I was sniffing around for a place in the PNW for another Tranny Build and was trying to find a place that would host the numbers.

I'm not against Nate, Kelty, or Triad Dave places. It all depends on who and how many appear.

I'm out for March 3-21 for a major training project. The 22nd is a possibility; however, I'm sure I will be worthless. (more than normal)

I thought the 29th weekend, till I read the posts and see that it's Easter Weekend. That will get many of us in trouble.

I'm happy with my Tranny build at the moment; but do have an extra side shift I scored that could use a build. So I would possibly drain $300 too.

Dr. Evil is welcome to crash at my house and would love to catch up. Just need to set up a date! How many in the Evil Clan are making the trip?

Yes Thanks I just figured it was easier to wait knowing you would get back out here! This way is more fun I had a blast at the last one!

the location is dependent on the number of attendees. if the turnout is anything like the one at mike's SPACE will be needed. there were 6 or 7 big tables? more?, and it was packed.

looking at a calendar the weekend of 4/20 is easter, so that prob wouldn't work. 4/12 might work as it's a free pass not to attend palm sunday services (for those who usually HAVE to). one of the first 3 weekends in may? after that we're into memorial day, graduations, vacations, weddings and the rest of the summer festivities. i think 500 sq ft (CLEAR, OPEN space), at a minimum, is required.

mike, are you solo for this clinic or will noel and the baby be coming along?

k

Why do people keep posting about April? This is MARCH we are shooting for.

I guess April is out then

I could host at my house. I've got 1,200 sq ft that can be worked into 7-9 work stations and more could be added but it would get crowded then. I have a press but parts washer would have to be in a pan. There is plenty of parking. Any one staying the night, bring a sleeping bag and pillow.

The bad for some; I live 6 miles North of Bellingham nine miles South of the boarder. Airport, Bellingham International is 20 minutes away. Mike see if you can get direct flight. Or somebody can bring you up from Seattle.

Any weekend is OK.

i might be interested.how are people getting their transmissions there.

Yes, April is out. Hershey is that month and I already have that weekend booked away from family. I dont like to spend too much time away from wife and 1yo, I only see him 15min in the morning on days I work....and I work a lot.

If March falls through, then June is the next possible. I am trying to get to Australia in May, so that is out for now.

For space, each person needs a 2'x2' space, best with room under it. You do not need to spread your parts over a vast expanse.

Transmissions are brought by the participants. If you are planning on flying up, you would have to ship it. At that cost, unless you are very interested in the clinic experience, you would be dollars ahead shipping it to me and having me rebuild it.

I hesitate to commit right now because of a work situation that should be resolved in the next couple of days. I have approximately 2+ bays in my shop so I don't think space would be a problem. I also have room for people to camp if they want. My weekends in March are pretty open so I'm flexible there. The only thing holding me back is the work thing, so if you can wait for that to be cleared up I can let you know. Otherwise, I'm out.

Lets tentative at Marc's, with expectation that this can change. The last weekend in March is what I am going to request off. I will submit that request now and we can suss out the location in the coming days.

Submission is in for last weekend, 29-30, of March. This is the date we will plan for.

Now, are there locations that will not work for some people? Can we get a tentative list so that I can see if I can afford to come out??

I'm in for box rebuild and the full show. Let me know where?

The 30th is Easter. Hope that doesn't mess up people's weekend schedule.

in. i plan on doing 2 boxes and bringing a legacy wagon full of cores. if marc has enough room he's located centrally so most folks will be within an hour's drive. if the clinic should be held north of seattle i'll just get a room for the night.

Since when is Easter in March???

I have a gear head calendar so it could be wrong? It has something to do with moon cycles and Good Friday. Seattle will be OK.

My 2014 calendar shows Easter as April 20.

Hey Nord, you do realize you need to get a new calendar every year, right?

I'm in with one transmission.

If Juergen or Kevin (or anyone else) have a second box, I'd be happy to take that on and pitch in some money. I don't think I want to tempt fate opening mine up when I really don't have any complaints!

Again I was wrong about Easter. Sorry to everyone that changed thier plans.

I do have a BMW PRO 3 calendar in the kitchen and it says that the BMW group will be seeing Easter on the 30th of March. Do I need to post a picture? Again Sorry.

Back to the Tranny Clinic. All chime in if your box needs fleshend up.

I'm in at either location. I'd prefer Marc's house because it's so much closer to home.

Brad if you want to pay & play I have a few box's that I can provide.
I no longer need the learn'in but definitely want to hang, drink & pass gas.

Hey Mike do you still need these?
