If your tranny is feeling its age, grinding, and popping out of gear I have the solution for you! If you have checked the other, outside of the tranny causes for these symptoms and found them to be ok then your tranny may be in need of a rebuild.
Some outside of the tranny causes for some of your shifting woes:
-Shifter bushings along the shift rod
-Cone set screws
-Tranny cable adjustment, shifter adjustment
-Clutch, TO bearing, pressure plate
-Engine and tranny mounts
So, you have checked all of the above and it is still not working as it should. What do you do!?
Send it to me!
Options:
1. Send the whole thing to me for a full rebuild and reseal - $500 labor + parts
-Shipping is about $80 coast to coast with Greyhound (see below).
-Please clean the case! I do not have a tank for this.
2. Send the gear stack to me for a full rebuild - $300 labor + parts
-Instructions for removal and install will follow
-Weight of stack and packing is 37lbs
-Shipping with FedEx is about $20 each way
3. Want to convert to a side shift? PM me.
I am interested in getting your car shifting correctly and lasting a long time while providing you with the greatest value and service. If you have questions I would be happy to help you. If you want to take pics of your gear stack and get an opinion fell free to contact me. Do you want to bring it by and have me take it apart to diagnose it? I will gladly do this, and for free. I will diagnose any tranny for no charge.
I also have a great stock of excellent used internal parts for much less than new with no loss in performance if you are interested.
SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS:
Through my many rebuilds I and my customers have found the best and least expensive ways to send your trannies to me.
For a gear stack only this works best:
1) Get a plastic water bottle or cup and cut it so it just covers the speedo drive gear. This will keep it from being damages during tranzit like a helmet.
2) Fold some cardboard up and tape it to the end of the drive shaft to give the point some more suface area. This will keep the drive shaft from poking out of the box during shipping.
3) Get some small trash bags and fill them with news paper balls. These bags are them used to cushion the stack by placing them into the box around it. This will also keep the box from collapsing during shipping, and it cheap!
4) Choose the box with the tightest fit to keep your shipping charges down. FedEx has consistantly been the cheapest, most reliable and safest carrier that I have used for shipping large items.
For shipping me the whole tranny:
1) Clean off the case. It doesnt have to be clean enough to eat off of, but the cleaner you get it the easier it is to ship and the cleaner it will be when you get it back (because I do not clean them
).2) Go to Staples, UHaul, or any other store with packaging materials and get some packaging wrap (the stuff that looks like a big roll of saran plastic wrap).
3) Take your fairly clean tranny and wrap it up with the plastic. Take it to the nearest Grey Hound freight depot ( http://www.shipgreyhound.com/locations/locations.asp ) and ship it to me. Shipping is about $80 coast to coast.
Thats all! any questions feel free to PM me
Here is a link to an excellent thread by DNHunt on how to rebuild the tranny should you wish to try it yourself. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=40904&st=0
Hello Dr. Evil,
in a few months, I would like to send you a Gear Stack, into your care.
It seems to have a fork problem and perhaps you can help things along.
Could you advise a "general" range for the parts cost possible ($30 or $3K?) as I am uncertain if I can proceed. It seems to be a typical one as 901's go. Do you often have to replace every syncho and every bearing or what-not?
Thank you and good day. -jzn
The most common parts that need replacing are 1st gear slider ($450), 3 synchro bands ($75 ea) and a seal kit ($40). If I have good used teeth and bands I can sell to you for less with no loss in performance. I may even have a good used 1st slider when you are ready, but those sell out fast and are 1st come 1st severed.
Hi DR.
I have a 215v8 engine in my 914, I am looking to get a trans rebuilt with a 5th gear change to a highest ratio for highway driving. I also would like to trade you some 901 transmissions to keep my cost down, if you are interested. I will be traveling down near Hersey, PA. In the next couple weeks. Please give me approximate cost, an address and a contact number. I am not in big hurry to get it back, in a month or two.
Take Care

Bill,
Unfortunately, I am getting out of the rebuild biz by June 2010 and as such I am trying to get rid of stock. I only need one core to satisfy orders I have so several cores will not be useful to me. However, I can give that info to my apprentice that will be taking over as he can use them. I can do your rebuild, though. I may even have an HB gear available for you to buy to make your 5th taller. I will be out of town starting Sept 11-21 as I will be teaching rebuild clinics in the PNW and SoCal areas.
Let me know how I can help you

Sorry to hear that Dr. Evil but it must be time; pass on all those secrets to your apprentice and we will put him to work. I (shortly) will be sending you mine with the bad fork problem. Perhaps you can massage an easy solution. Enjoy the post grad times : c ) I am premed and two decades as a Paramedic in the field, it is time to shift to the ER and teaching I think. I will be fast on your heels soon~ Good day- Jzn

Wow
I got to meet the Doc in person when I picked up my rebuilt Tranny.
Thanks Mike for all your hard work and very fair pricing. I appreciate the advice since I barely know which end of the car gets the rebuilt trans.
Again, it goes in horizontally, not vertically?

Nice meeting you too, George. Keep us all posted on how your voltagewagen comes along.
Quick question regarding my 901 box. I sometimes get a grinding noise when shifting from 1st to 2nd. When I shift from 1st to 2nd, I usually pause briefly in neutral and then shift into 2nd to help eliminate this, but not completely. All the external checks you list have been done. Does this sound like it needs a rebuild? What does the full rebuild entail?
If I sent you the gear stack to have rebuilt per your 1st post, can it be put back in per your instructions, or is there an additional step of adjusting the shift forks?
Thanks.

Thanks.
With what you describe, I would bet the 2nd slider, teeth and band are poo. I can swap in good used and save you $$ without costing you miles. When you get the stack back, it will be ready to drop in per my instructions. All adjusted, inner bearings prelubed, etc. The good news is this, since you inquire about just a stack rebuild you will have to pull the stack anyway. At that point, we will know if it has crapped out parts as you can take pics and post them. Also, I can get a stack done faster than a whole box rebuild.

Cool. Can you PM me a rough estimate, assuming the 2nd slider, teeth and band have indeed crapped out? I'll be pulling the box out once the snow flies and the salt hits the road. I'll shoot you a PM so I know what you need pictures of.
Here are pics of the 2nd gear dogteeth:

Is this one just on real tight?

I'm not sure how you get a socket on this one. Does the speedo drive come off first? I don't want to break anything.

Those look sharp. The only thing I can assume might be wrong besides adjustment would be internals of the synchro band. Send me the stack and I will inspect and adjust.

Sounds like a plan. Please PM me your shipping address. I will try and get the stack out to you in the next couple days. Thanks again.
OK, I am back in the biz. I can not stay away, I like the work, the people, the income to finance my hobbies
What's the deal when the tranny sticks in gear? First time, it stuck in neutral. Then a friend took off the side cover and levered the selectors back in place. Gearbox shifted fine in place, but next time on the track, it stuck again, this time in gear. Did the same thing to unstick, but obviously something's wrong. Is this something simple like a bent shift fork or something, or does the trans need to be rebuilt? Best guess? Thanks.
Sticking in neutral (cant select ANY gears) and then in gear is a sign of external issues. Maybe a roll pin issue on the shift selector.
It is better to post questions like this in the garage so it doesnt take so long to get answered. There are many in the know there, many thanks to my clinics as well

Are you still building trannys mine does not like down shifting to 1st and 2nd is getting a little sloppy. Looking at a time frame of April or so after i return from my deployment. Wantig a stock rebuild nothing crazy.
I definitely do. One word of advise, you are NEVER supposed to down shift into 1st. They were not intended to have that done regularly and it is an unnecessary move that wears out the most expensive part in the box needlessly. Let me know when I can help with your transmission.

good to know about first gear, i only did it at a slow roll at traffic lights. But 2nd likes to zing a little going in gear. 
Check the clutch cable adjust first. If it is good, then you sound like you need a rebuild.
Dr. Evil...)
1st Gear in the 914 has typically been a disaster.
I use the CA stop method. I slow down to check if the coast is clear then...
Depress the clutch & engage in 2nd.
Skipping 1st gear when-ever possible.
1) I am building a Big Bore 2.2 with all the goodies.
2) Can we make changes to the gear ratios..?
3) I would like gear ratios to match the new motor.
Let me know what is possible.
Call the office to discuss business & pricing.
Fed Ex shipping the whole thing over to you.

Never down shift into 1st to slow down. The boxes are not made for that. Gears can be changed, but for a 2.2 you do not need to if you plan to use it on the road.
What times are you available for calls? I am on the east coast and am pretty busy with my primary job so phone time is limited.

Hey Dr. Evil,
I sent you an email about a month ago. I guess you didn't receive it. I read that you were doing a tranny clinic up here in Canada, not far from Toronto. I have a 915 in need of having an internal WEVO gate shifter installed as well as the WEVO side shifter installed. Would you be able to include this as part of that clinic?
Also, I didn't see anything in the post on your clinic about pricing for participating in the clinic. Could you please let me know how much it would cost as well?
Thanks alot.
Best regards,
Dino

The 915 will not be covered at the clinic. If you have a 901 to build then I can help you out. If you want to bring you 915 to me, or ship it I can do the work for you.

My transmission just landed at Dr. Evil's doorstep. Very excited to have yet another item on my car sorted out soon!
Dr. Evil, Do you have a schedule of when and where you will be doing rebuild clincs. Thanks.
I noticed the original post from 2006 shows shipping greyhound coast to coast for a complete trans was $50 
So fast forwarding to 2014 and I'm wondering what your preferred carrier is nowadays? And any idea on the cost?
I ask because I'm 1,200 miles away from Virginia so I have a hunch it will be cheaper to ship you mine at a later date vs attend the Williamsburg Clinic for some hands-on action.
***EDIT***
So I got off my lazy
and got a quote from greyhound. Coast-to-coastis now $112. FYI Website shows Max Weight is 100lbs (a trans doesn't way more than that does it?)
Thanks
Matt

Pull the gear stack and send that, not the whole trans. Saves a lot of weight. BTW, Doc is in Pa, my shop ( where the clinic is ) is in Va
i haxe 2 814's one is a v8 and dont think the gearing is right for it
? can you open it and ck it and recommend the right gear ratios for the v8? and change the gears? please message me back with the dost for this service. the tranny seems ti be working fine otherwise. you'll find out more when you open it up.

Hi Dr. Evil. Hoping you are still helping out fellow 914ers trying to get their machines operating normally!
My teenager son and I are in the middle of a restoration of a 1971-4 that we purchased summer of last year. It was inoperable for the past 10 years sitting in a garage. We got the engine running, and of course the shifting was terrible. We rebuilt the pedal cluster, and replaced all of the shifting linkage bushings, balls. There were no bushings anywhere so I thought that would solve my problem.
We did the adjustments, and it shifted much better (actually got into 4th & 5th gears) but still some grinding from time to time on the downshift into 2nd and some trouble engaging 1st - possible we need to look at my clutch cable adjustment again, but we just dropped the engine to get to work on the gaskets/tin, etc.
We don't know the exact mileage so with engine and tranny out, plan to inspect the clutch, flywheel and thinking would be great to look at the gears. We have no experience with transmissions and thinking having an expert work the gears could save me both time and money.
If you are still working would love to connect with you. Please let me know.
Thanks. Steve (the dad)

Mike i believe i will be sending you my transmission, ring and pinion was beginning whine a bit, it also has LSD. i also have a 5,000 mile rebuilt transmission stack already pulled and ready to be used for parts i would probably be sending this along with the whole unit.
Dr. Mike
I have a Transmission for my 914 that no longer can get into 3rd gear.
1st and 5 th are fine.
It is a clutchless electric that you rebuilt while still a resident. I actually drove to you.
Bushing and stick adustment are optimum, can't even get it into 3 rd from under the car manually. All the other gears move fine.
Do I send the whole unit or remove the stack?
Please let me know about shipping since you are further away.
Many thanks

Bushing and stick adustment are optimum, can't even get it into 3 rd from under the car manually. All the other gears move fine.
Do I send the whole unit or remove the stack?
Please let me know about shipping since you are further away.
Many thanks
