This **** just got real.

For the first time in 14 years - back to when I first started driving 928s as prospective purchases, through owning approx 13 of them in different forms.....

I am actually happy with an automatic transmission in a 928

Yes, I have despised them since the beginning - sloppy shifting, banging into gears, breaking (three, for me), hovering, vibrations, whining, etc.

The transmission that Greg rebuilt for this white 88 with 78k miles is wonderful.

to you, Greg, for seeing the details that need to be seen, and taking the time to figure out how the f#ck to do it right.

I hope that your 356 theory is correct, and that you have many many years ahead of you working and teaching those who will listen to how to continue your proper craft.

Well that's it. You've doomed us all. His head is now going to swallow the entire solar system.

Not hardly. I've been putting 928 engines together since 1980...done more than I can count. Manual transmissions.....I think my mother weened me on these.

Never had any intention of rebuilding one of these automatics.....way too much "black magic" inside there. However, I had such poor results with the "rebuilt" automatics that I could get my hands on, I decided that I had to learn to do them, myself, about 4 years ago.

I simply use the best parts I can find, replace anything that looks worn, and update anything that Mercedes or Porsche has superceeded.

The rest is just ****house luck.

Not only that ^^^^,

Its very fortunate that you do such nice work, we all can benefit,
Thanks Greg

Can you imagine if Greg had a 24/7 webcam in his garage?

I personally HATE Greg Brown... he's always posting picture of things I'll never own but can only dream about

G8RB8

Careful there. You'll get his **** glaucoma stirred up.

I will happily supply a camera for Greg to mount if he is willing. I gave an extra laying around. Fixed mount,ok resolution. What say Greg?

jeff spahn

Greg did all the work on my car before I bought it including installing my transmission. The man is a genius pure and simple.

But everyone would then see my extensive collection of vice grip plyers and hammers....and that shade tree that I like to work under.

Pure urban myth.

I'm not better than anyone else, just have more practice. Let's not forget that I'm "old" and have the benefit of seeing 40 years of other people's mistakes. That's a huge advantage, all in itself.....

And I have 27 different 13mm wrenches....so when I forget where I set one, I just grab another. It's the "home" guys that are my heros....I'd still be working on my first engine, if I only had one of those things!

Hmmm There's a word for that. What was it?
Oh yeah "wisdom".
