The tech session was held at Phil & Mary Ann's on a cool damp Saturday morning. The heated garage was a great place to have the tech session and the donuts and hot coffee really helped fuel the workers.

The purpose of this session was an R & R of the automatic transaxle in Cliff's convertible. Kevin Johnson held "class" detailing the inner workings of a Corvair transaxle as well as proper set up of the gears.

While work on Cliff's convertible was delayed due to a simple O-ring seal, the Bayshore crew did manage to complete the repairs at the next tech session once the new part came in from Clark's Corvair.
