I am hoping to come but just for fun. Not building any transmissions this time. Happy to lend a hand & I will bring some of the tools just in case. I know I have a few of the required.

I do have a good "H" Gear if anyone is interested. I bought it for $450 & will sell it for that also.

You should come. You got nothing better to do than drive that 914 to Napa... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Separated the trannie from the engine out of the white car, drained the fluid and pressure washed all three transmissions....they're all purdy now.

Guess I'm ready, working on the shop the rest of the weekend, roll up door goes in tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Not a good idea to wash the gear boxes until the day before. Water will get in and your parts will start to get rusty.

Now you tell me! Thought they were sealed, except the vent. If you tape off the vent how does water get in.
Guess I could put the gear oil back in them, then drain it again to get any water out.

If you taped up the vent, you probably didn't get a lot of water in the trans. The seals will deflect a lot of the water from the pressure washer, at least that has been my experience.

Go get a gallon jug of WD-40 and put about a quart in each trans and "roll" them around and drain them again. That should get most, if not all, the water out.

If anyone still needs a core trans for this clinic, I have a spare.

Do not pressure wash the transmission. Do not sand blast the transmission.

Guess I should clarify....didn't actually "pressure wash" , sprayed degreaser on...did some brushing and scraping, then used my pressure washer with a gentle tip to rinse them off, I have a hot water hook up, so it rinses well without a lot of pressure, plus I avoided spraying directly at the seals, and vent areas.

Pulled all three out today, pulled the drains, rolled them around and got some remaining gear oil out, only one looked like it might have had a little water in the gear oil, but not much if it even was. Just to be on the safe side I took some Mobil 1 I had left over from the Boxster and put a quart in each one, rolled them around, tipped them up and down, spun the gears, then drained them...came out clean looking no water.

Guess I missed your previous posts on the subject, I'm old... cant read everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Should be fine.

Alrighty, I just finished a marathon parting session and the guts are cataloged, packed, and due to head out tomorrow to McMarks shop via USPS Priority Flat Shipping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Gonna ass rape them on that one. I hope they dont lose my shit or I will be getting done.

I have to report, though, that I only have 4 good used 1st sliders, and one new. So, if anyone gets stuck needing a slider I will have to talk them through the procedure to install. It is very easy and is the last step in assembly so only minutes worth of work. However, lately I have been finding that 1st sliders are not as bad off as they are, nor as their owners are cheap. So, this has not been much of an issue.

Time is running out! Hows the weather looking? Bring cover if you have it.

Supposed to be 80ish and sunny all weekend...though we are counting on California weather people here who are questionably correct 15 minutes out, let alone 5 days:)

Jamie, you going through Sac Saturday morning?

If it is nice out, maybe McMark will be able to push some projects out?

I have 20 students coming. Gonna be LARGE.

Mark, two heavy boxes coming to you priority USPS with lots of parts. One has your speedo parts in it.

Not sure yet. I'm hoping to head out friday night. Just not sure how far south I will come. If I can get out of work a little early. I may be basically down there. Somebody mentioned they were doing an autoX saturday. Any chance that is close by? Wouldn't mind having a little extra fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

The event on the 19th is at Alameda Naval Air Station. You can check Google Maps for how far from McMark's shop (or Sac) that is. It's a good ways from Sac, though.

Sunday is a working day. I doubt he can just push projects out to make room for a clinic he makes no money on. Unless you are going to pay him for the loss of time on his projects??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Why the fuck are you chiming in on matters that do not concern you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If I want your $.02, I will ask for it.

Actually, it does concern me. Mark is my friend. Sunday is the first day of his work week. He has two guys who are going to show up for work and expect to get payed for it. The available work space in the shop is roughly half of what it was the last time you did a clinic there. Even with projects pushed outside, there isn't the room there was unless he pushes everything out. Mine is one of the projects that would be pushed outside so there is my concern. I don't want it outside.
Don't even get me started on what I think of the value of your clinic... Remember, I promoted the last one, I kept waiting for some instruction to happen. It didn't. It doesn't. $300 dollars for you to look at people's parts and say it is good or no good? I thought some instruction was going to happen. Wow.

This is a forum. Last I checked, everyone's $.02 was welcome... I certainly don't need you to ask for mine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
