Carl, the seal kit has ALL of the seals in it

Bernie, if you are willing to sell those gears I know of many people who want them

are you going to have any spare time out here? you once said you had some days to kill
Bernie

I will be in town the Wed night before the clinic. I am staying at Joe Sharp's

DR Evil would you like to come to Temecula and do a special trans on thursday
c 1st, h 2nd, hrev 5th I have a lot of gears that need a good home. We have several sportomatics that have differant ratios.
Bernie

Bernie,
I am expecting to be helping Jim Hoyland on Thurs or Fri. The best way for me to do your box is if Joe is cool with you bring it over and me doing it there.

thats good. need directions, email bernbomb914@verizon.net for time and place

Looking at the Red Rocks thread I see that Joe is supposedly going there on the the weekend that the clinic is happening. I am not sure if this will effect my housing and transport, but I sent Joe a PM.

Confusion averted, all is well and I will be chilling with Joe

Will the Dr. have seal kits on hand?

No. As stated previously, I will only be bringing the parts that were ordered and the order deadline is tomorrow (Wed).

I'm ready...bump

Update: Well its been a long last few days of dealing with the fires. But I wont to thank some of you guys that where so generous in offering to help me evacuate cars and other property as needed. Alls good now and the event is only days away so see you all soon.

We are thinking of having a donation food & BBQ going all day both days so we expect to have drinks and such But BYOB, (I don’t drink) but your more than welcome to. Also there is a POOL so feel free to dive in and to stay cool. Bring your favorite CDs.
My lady also welcomes any of your wife’s or girlfriends to hang out with, as she will be dealing with food on her own. Should be a great event.

Awesome! Glad things are better.

Glad your home was safe Leamon !!!

BTW. If anyone is bringing any side shift cores. I need a tail cone / rear cover to complete my side shift conversion. Please PM with a price or something.

Thank you in Advance

See you all there.

Ted

Ted, I have a stack of them. Why didnt you ask??? PM me.

Mike,

I was out of town last week and didn't get your post about last day for ordering parts...anyway I'm including several pictures of my gear stack, hopefully won't need any parts although the pinon gear doesn't look so red hot.

WOW! I cant tell much from the pics as far as sliders and such, but your pinion is far beyond gone. I have NEVER seen one that bad. The bearing at the end of the pinion is toast as well. Please tell me this was a donor and not the one you were planning on rebuilding. You need to source a different box to rebuild as that one is done. Sorry

I'd like to tell you that it was a donor but it wasn't, it was the one that I was planning on rebuilding...back to square one I guess.

The chance of you finding another in that shape is very slim. Dont feel too bad, there should be some parts that are usable out of it and that will save you $$ in the long run. Someone had to really do some ignoring to make the box end up like that.

When I first got the car I could hardly hear the engine, I drained the oil and was shocked by first, the amount of metal that came out (now I know where from) and second, the viscosity of the oil, must of been about a 10 wt synthetic. I put schaeffers 80-90 wt in and the noise has been slowly going away, at least to the point that I was able to again hear the engine again. But with the amount of metal that came out on that first oil drain I'm not to surprised with the turn of events. Anyway just bought a transmission up in Victorville, hopefully between the two of them I'll have one that is salvageable

Add me to the list.. I will be spectating on Saturday, unless my trans blows up between now and then.. I won't be wearing a thong over my head, but let me know if you would like me to bring some snacks or brewskies so I don't feel so guilty!!

OK - We're in the last few days before the transmission clinic. I've paid my fee, purchased my spare parts. So how do I get an address for this event???

My thanks

Eric Read

Eric,

Read the middle of the post. You can e-mail Heeltoe914 or PM. See you there.

I PM'd to Heeltoe a few weeks ago and never got a reply. I will send again. Thanks!

+2 Me and Wes will be there spectating.



I also have a sideshift trans and 2 tailshift trans pulled from parts cars, condition unknown, Sideshift trans has only 93,000 miles. Sideshift for 150, tailshift for 100. OBO If anyone is interested let me know and I will bring them along.

+3 on the directions too.... been a while since I've been there.

Mike, is going through two boxes a one day or two day event? I'm trying to figureout whether I need a motel for Sat. night. Regardless, I have a 4 1/2 hour drive and am trying to figure the best plan.

Dr. are you thinking the tranny festivities to start at 8:00 or so Sat. morning??

Are we all pitching some cash in for food or??

Time depends on hours, not days. We started about 9-10am on Sat and I finally called it quits at midnight. All but 4 people were done the first day. The next day we started about 10-11am and were done by 3pm. Start times are best if later in the morning for many reasons; Joe's place is about 1 hour away (that is where I am staying), I am not a morning person, and I will work late with no problem.

If we can do 10am start that would kick ass for me

That's a tough demand after drinking beer until 3:30 on Friday night, er, Saturday morning. I think we got rolling around 9, started turning wrenches around 10, and went 'till midnight. Then we stopped working ad started drinking beer again... well, actually, we had been drinking beer since after noon...

I am interested in the side shifter. If you can bring it.

Thanks in Advance

How are you guys? OK all PMs where replyed to;
Eric are you sure you sent something a few weeks ago? I went back and did not see any PM form you.
Anyway see ya this weekend.

Update; 9-14-09 7pm
Thanks everyone for all the offers to bring food to the upcoming event. My plan is to have enough food & drinks (Soda and water) for lunch both Sat, & Sun 22 people. Still BYOB and bring your swim trucks if you wont to swim in the logon. All food & drinks are donation friendly see the box.

Saturday: Chicken like stuff maybe wings and veggie platter, fruit, chips.

Sunday: Burgers, Dogs, some sides from Costco. Lots of fruit both days.

Both mornings croissants, fruit and OJ maybe some eggs off the grill can happen.

If the event dose go into the dinner hour we can order Pizza or?????? .

Suggestion are welcomed. I should be shopping on Wednesday or Thursday night.

If you have a Picture CD you would like to share bring it along

Lets get a time set here I am a early bird 5;30 type, I have to hope for 9-10am??. Going to late into the night is not neighbor friendly.
Our you guys will show up and I will have you working on cars until the event gets under way.
But if anyone wants to bring a sleeping bag and hang on some floor that’s cool with me.

SS Trans sale pending. Will also bring two SS parts trans and the core tail shift. The SS trans should have the parts to convert a tail shift. Offers accepted on any of the parts in them. Also have an extra case.

Bruce

Leamon,
There is a travel inn less than a mile from your place...will it do for an overnighter? Or is there a motel you would suggest fairly close?

I appreciate the sleeping bag offer, which I still may take you up on, but my body revolts when it doesn't get a bed...LOL. I guess I'm getting old.

How about a sofa? I have a sofa an a bed left. Oh and some carpet in another room. Bring a air mattress!

I would say Travel INN in this area is like a truck stop.

I''l be there starting 9-10am. There are less people at this clinic so we should be able to finish a bit quicker.

Leamon, i have some $$ for you for the food

Some Postal Person droped off 2 boxs yesterday.

As I just went through the PNW clinic, I would recommend taking / bringing extra syncros, dog teeth, 1st sliders, intermediate bearings, rags and alot of gloves! People will need them. For those of you have never seen the inside, get your thinking caps on it's going to be fun! Really it is! Do not be scared, The Doc can smell fear!

That would be the parts, spare parts, and 1 new synchro band for Carl.

Mike if you come across a spare "Nut Bag" send it my way

Rich,
Ill send you one when I get back home. I have spares there.

Ummmm, yeah! I must have been giving him the fear smell. Because when he saw how organized my placements of parts were....it ended up like scrambled eggs! Dr. Evil began shouting at me like the drill instructor off FULL METAL JACKET about get out of his garage private! So don't think you all are going to have this nice placement of parts and hand holding session. ENJOY the fun! I loved it and can't wait to dive into more gears!

Dr. Evil...........please find someone to do that to; it was funny and painful at the same time!

Mark

Anyone know if the transmission gasket sets include CV gaskets, and if they do how many?

They do not. I was hoping also but Nooooooooooooo!

They are a whopping $2.50 each from pelican. Just order some! I usually get them in 3 days

How much is it to just show up watch, learn or help?? I will not be able to drop my GB in time for this ........

I sent Evil on his way a couple hours ago...

Sweet I need to get some!

Spectating is free. (Why do I bother posting that on the 1st post? )

CV gaskets are not included and I dont think I shipped any. I sell them for $2 ea.

I forgot to order a few parts... So if anybody that is coming to the clinic has a spare set of these, I would be glad to purchase them from you:
