If you need a transmission rebuilt now is the time! Mike (Dr. Evil) and I are planning a short notice tranny clinic in Ontario Canada.
Date and details has not yet been set so start thinking! It will be short notice, as in real soon! We have 4 transmissions already so things are looking good! Go to Mike's vendor thread and look at the prices and details, For us Canadians the price is a steal and did I mention he will do it at PAR! The USD price is what you pay in Loonies! Shipping to the USA would be the price of labour! Or more! If you can't be here I will P/U from greyhound which is the cheapest way to ship something this size http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=56892 If you guy's want I'll revive the Por'Volks Festival for a small 914 only show and shine and BYO BBQ (I might need some help for this) while Mike is here. This is a one time deal. Mike is a real Doctor now and he's going to retire from transmissions very soon. You snooze you lose. Start digging those dusty cores out! BTW I'm away for the weekend, I hope to see some Canadian peeps chimming in on this when I get back! Cheers Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

On the border issue, it is the USA that requires the passport to get into, or to fly over. You might need a passport to get to Cuba if the flight takes you over US territory. The Canadian border guard may want to see a US passport so that they know you are able to return to the US without hassle.
If we are unable to find Tectyl in Canada, can you bring some up? What about Schnorr washers; I could do with 40. Perhaps some drilled bolts as well as some CV gaskets. I was cleaning up a tranny yesterday that was traded to me. Looked like a junkyard part: the shift rod and both axle shafts were cut with a torch. One Schnorr washer was missing, and no CV gaskets. The TO bearing fork had homemade brass bushings for the bearing, and the ball cup was worn through. The clamp plate for the ball was pretty knackered, probably because the ball cup allowed too much play. The reverse switch was gutted. The shift ball cup had no sides, and the rod bushing in the console was missing (sideshift). I didn't like the look of the input shaft seal either. |

Dave, Let me know exactly what you need and I can order/make it. I need time so let me know soon. |
