I love it. "You only get to know what you saw and paid attention to" and showing up is always the right thing to do. I will make sure that next time PNW Tranny Clinic is offered, I will stay, help with the BBQ and play Guitar, my bad.

Scotty, you are fine. Those are the gaskets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think it would be great to have one or two to pass around to use! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) Share our tools............... in a non-gay sort of way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I have two bad 1st/Rev sliders that I will make tools from. Maybe I'll weld half a hand cuff to each end for safe handling. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Hey Guy's
I would like to see some documented repairs, teardowns replacing parts and assembly.
Not just pictures, maybe some video's like you would see on youtube.
That would be a big benfit to this site.
Thanks guy's

We were asked nicely by some very large men with no necks to sign paperwork saying we wouldn't document the process. Just kidding! Having way to much fun to do that. I was going to take notes and pictures but after awhile I figured the Doc would probably make a video to help pay his student loans off so I would just buy one then. Please make the video, I'll put the wig on for you! hahahaaaaa!

lemme see.... the video would go summin like this

Steve taking a big slurpsh of draft beer
putting it down, he grabbed a wrench, most likely a thirteen
Steve interupted, by Rich "hey steve can you help me put these gears together"
Steve..."uh sure" putting down his thirteen, knocking over the docs warm beer, spilling all over tranny innards.
Steve helps Rich with gear set assembly
Steve takes another drink
Rich helps steve with gear set assembly
Steve" how many gears do you have rich"
Rich" five"
Steve....."looks like i have a four speed, eh?"
and on and on it went....

You guys covered it, Props to John for offering up his man cave! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Brother it was great meeting another bike nut and reminiscing about NW bike racing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Mike thanks for lifting the veil and showing the rest of us the black art of fixing the 901 I actually think I can do another one myself now. The steady stream of profane language and insults made me feel right at home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
The mass quantites of animal flesh and alchohloic brew has got me a little plugged up though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

Great to to see all the PNW faces some familiar & some new.

Im glad I brought a few spares...It seems that EVERYONE needs syncro's, dog teeth and especially the first gear slider. Someone with access should step up and arrange a group buy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif)

Hey did Marc (Mikey914) make it Sun? Or did he get lost like JP following Johns directions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Who's hands did that Triad end up in?

TOP TEN thing I learned at PNW tranny rebuild clinic: No particular order

1. John (Jake) garage has made my garage insecure.
2. Don’t bring A Slim Fast to a Teener event unless you want ridicule (in my fridge thought it would be quick food WRONG!) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
3. Dr. Evil knows way too much about Tranny’s (double meaning implied)
4. My car reeealy needs a paint job after sitting next to Morgan’s (mstein95)
5. If you’re Canadian bring your thick skin to the event…ehy!
6. If your car needs a paint job and body work, Dr. Evil is the ultimate Motivator!
7. Sleep is optional. Can’t even imagine if I rebuilt a tranny.
8. Dr. Evil doubles as Roger Waters. Nice guitar playing man!
9. There is no limit to the amount of meat that can be cooked on a bbq.
10. Gear selection when driving a Split Window Bus is optional.


Thanks Dr. for all your knowledge, I learned a lot!
Thanks John for sharing your amazing garage/home with us!

I have access to them through my shop supplier;

OE German.
1st/Rev Slider
P/N - 911 302 226 00


I offer these for $350 each plus $10 shipping to 914World members as long as my supplier holds their current price.

I can get any other trans part too, but with a few spare boxes around, the others will be available cheap used at the clinics.

In LA now at Joe's. I do miss the PNW and hope to have as much fun here as I did there. I am glad so many of you are interested in trying one on your own and look forward to your PMs asking questions about anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[aircooledtechguy]

Just took my new trans out for a first, post-rebuild drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Smooth as Butter!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks again to all. Especially you Chris; you bailed me out of a VERY foggy night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I am back home and will be recovering before I make any long posts. I am BEAT.

And, I have a box waiting for me at the bus station, and one half apart on the bench, and a stack in route, and........I am a glutton.

So you made it back in one piece I hope! The question is "How many boxes in how many days"?

Doc, can you send me (of course I will pay) a trashed or garbage 1st slider so I can make a tool unless your going to make them? I'm buying an extra 901 box to rebuild myself.

[Dr Evil]

Drew,
PM me and I will hook you up.

[Dr Evil]

OK, I think I am finally recovered from this last week enough to post my deep thoughts on my experience in the PNW. I had a BLAST! I tried to write a little something for each one of you, but I quickly abandoned that idea as I would have too much to say and it would still be lacking. However, I do need to mention a few people particularly.
John, I am glad you are part of our community. You are a very cool individual, generous, and you have done some amazing things that you could be arrogant about if you wanted to, but that seems against your nature. You have a kick ass set up and you took great care of me for which I am eternally grateful.

Todd, thanks for opening your house up to me so I had a place to crash for my extended visit. I had a great time hanging out with you and drinking and eating and drinking and drinking and eating. Good luck in school, I know you are already enjoying it. Remember, the longest journey begins with the first step, no matter what. Your walking man.

The rest of you, I wish that I could hang with all of you often. There were so many great individuals and personalities there. If I didnt pic on you it was either that I didnt like you or that I thought you couldnt take it....and I didnt like you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I would definitely come up to visit again if the opportunity presented it self. Thank you all for making this such a great event (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)

You know that my place is open to you and Noel, no reason needed.

[montoya 73 2.0]

If you come over I'll drive up to hang out!! (wait you didn't pick on me to much) Hmmmm, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Anyways, you are a great teacher and a good person! Keep up the good work my friend.
