On Thursday, March 29, the VTRG will start the day at 8:00 a.m. with tours of Bishop International where the group will visit their facility where they remanufacture manual transmission units and reclaim automatic transmission hard parts. After a tour of Bishop the group will depart for AER’s massive engine remanufacturing plant.

In the afternoon the VTRG will meet back at the Hyatt Regency Hotel for the following presentations: “Overview of the Current State of the Transmission Market” with Bobby Mace, Publisher, TRANSMISSION DIGEST John Schroeder of Jasper Engines & Transmissions will discuss “The Geometry of Lean: Understanding the Golden Triangle” Laurie Strasser of Afton Chemicals will present “ATF: Why the Right Fluid is the Right Fluid”
