Wait for a passon 5 speed YEAH!!!!!! OK he said 16 months.....I said ok....since my car will be down for 18 months anyways....

John,16 months?That's just crazy to wait that long.You'd rather wait for the 5 speed and 572 hemi than drive your car with a 440 and 18 spline with overdrive?18 months is a long time man!

Some light reading on the subject :

He told me he starts production at a certain time of year....for the a833s.  I think other times he does regular 4 speeds.

That thread I posted is over 5 years old.

And still going.

I'm pretty sure some people have died while waiting on their transmissions.

Why not this?

Or get a gear vendors overdrive unit, which wouldn't require cutting holes.... If you paid via credit card, I would try to get my money back for now. Once there are good units being delivered, THEN spend the money. If it's not delivered within your credit card companies time limit, then challenge and get it back. There are people who have been waiting for more then 5 years....

Is that the place that sells the 4L60E?  If so then I personally wouldn't use it; nothing but bad experiences with all of my 4L60E's behind stock, small block engines...

Why not this?

Fine if you want to hack up your floor and have a non-stock shifter location.

One of the big selling points for Passon's 5-speed is that it uses mostly all the same parts as factory 4-speeds and fits without modification. There are several other options if you want to cut holes.

The Gear Vendors is a half-measure. A .78 overdrive isn't that great compared to a .70, a .68 or the common .50 of the double overdrive models.

But we ARE insane brother.  Definitely different than other car enthusiasts.  I have to wonder if I'll ever hit the ceiling on spending money for a car that only goes out when the sun is shining lol...

The parts I recoup from the sale of previous parts to the car equals roughly 50%.  Im not gonna lie I spent roughly 65k on this car and sell off the parts for the last upgrade which will be:

572 hemi
14-71 blower
5 speed passon
driveshaft upgrade
electronic fuel injection

the only thing left is a super ultimate upgrade to the axle.  Like I said I could almost walk into a dodge dealership and get a hellcat and not worry about this crap and have a warranty, 707hp, air conditioning, power everything, no worries.

You have to insane to do the things we do for these old cars.....and heres the kicker Im doing it for myself...lmao.....most people assume im doing it to get attention or something yeah I have better ways to get attention with 40k spending spree

Insane people...UNITE !!
