I have read various comments about how Jamie is a good person etc etc, I tend to disagree as he treats the people waiting to spend money with him like fools From the couple of times I have talked to him, and after learning about the way he acts at shows, I would have to agree the guy is not a good person. Kind of a tool in my experience.

I was on the list from 2010 at the start til 2017 when i received my trans.... Yes 7 years is a long time, but this trans is worth it! Everyone has different opinions of Jamie.... I consider Jamie an asset to our Mopar community. I get he's a little brazen at times, but Jamie as all of us has life slap him in the face as well. I have tremendous respect for the undertaking of the project, and having your name associated with all the issues that come with it. Most of which are out his control.... There have been bumps in the road with my experience, but Jamie has never once not stepped up to help or make sure my problems have been resolved in some way. That means a lot in my book. He's human and a business man! Again, this is just my take from years of buying, and dealing with Jamie. I feel this trans is worth the wait, but if you don't there are other alternatives...

Unless I missed something Jamie hasn't posted anything about this transmission since March 2018. I can appreciate being busy running a business and dealing with family matters but he started this post to create interest and future sales of this transmission, He certainly could of taken a few minutes sometime in the last two years to inform us about any progress or problems with the project. My point exactly, why treat us like a nobody, I understand he is busy but then again most people are and can someone tell me why people on the so called "list" are having to wait up to 10 years when others not on the list have received transmissions. If only the alternatives fitted with less hassle I am sure many would be happy to tell Jamie where to put his list .

I've been on contact w/John every 6 months.
His list is no shorter.
He'll supply a bunch (like maybe 8 or 9; not really a bunch) to Jamie, and a few to his close friends. I believe Jamie and John are working together. When Jamie called me and said mine was ready I was excited. When it arrived, I immediately noticed that it was shipped from John address. So whom ever list you are on probably doesn't matter.

I believe that John tests all the transmissions then crates them and sends them out.

Last summer I spoke with Seth Garrett of GFI and he said the GM transmissions were still in testing phase. However, they are coming.... and you KNOW that market is much bigger than ours. Garrett Fuss Inc is the company producing the A855 and the 5 speed muncie trans.

Jerry,
It is actually a .7 OD. . That's why I wanted to go this route. Tremec is either .64 or .82. . I received mine a little over a year ago. Jamie called one day and said it was ready if I still wanted it. My car has 4.10's in it and is a dream to drive down the freeway now. 75 mph = 2500 rpm, and it has plenty of run out. The math shows 175 mph = 6000 rpm. I've had it to 135.
That's good to hear My cay has 4.10s as well. I will be putting mine in in the next few months.
My Monster are real!

He'll supply a bunch (like maybe 8 or 9; not really a bunch) to Jamie, and a few to his close friends. Every time I go to MATS in las Vegas, John Huff will have about 4-5 to sell right there. No list, no waiting. Must pay right there and take home on the spot. Who do you go thru for warranty? I think Jamie won't honor the warranty since it was not purchased thru him.
