Happy Friday gentleman. Gabe and I were talking and we both have transmissions that need some attention, and that got us thinking that we should get a group of people together and do a tech day as we open these things up and maybe even fix them...
What do you think? |

Dr Evil,
You probably have more experience with this, then anyone. Do you use Genuine Porsche bearings, or a mix of manufacturers? - I recommend all new major bearing (2 input shaft, 2 pinion) and can get these at a deep group discount (retail around $1300). -Dennis |

No way to get them cheaper using Porsche. There isn’t anything magical about them, so no need to pay more. |

thanks - makes sense.
For your classes, do you bring the special tools to check/set the pinion gear depth, or us that too complicated for these hands on classes?

The way we disassemble/reassemble, the tolerances are conserved so no need to check/set R/P at clinic. It is time consuming, takes practice, and I would not be able to at the clinic setting. This is why it is imperative to check your R/P health prior to clinic so we can assess if another core is best.
Now, when I do rebuilds at my shop I do the full deal of checking, adjusting, replacing, etc. But, as you can imagine, the cost is a little more. If I hadddent been doing this for over 10yrs I would be less sure of my methods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) thanks - makes sense.
