I sure would like to see the pricing.
Have $4K-$5K on hand, depending on what you require to do the conversion

Is that the price of the trans? or the price to convert from auto? most already know its expensive to convert to a 4-speed with all the related parts.

Unless Passon has revised his initial quote, the transmission/shifter set-up alone is $4300 IIRC

Regardless of the price, NOBODY offers the same package with the same advantages, features, and benifits as PASSON.
Maybe if you brown nose Jamie like you do with your other "buddies" he'll give you a deal on one so you can upgrade

For a $200 difference, that would mean something to me. For $800-1000 difference, i could care less, as long as it was still a quality piece. Not everything that comes from without is junk... it has more to do with the company having it made, and Passon has a good rep. Even if it came from China, i'd trust him to see that it was a good product.
That said, i sure would like one ov these in my car. I'm selling my 4-speed set-up right now. Come wrench time, i will NEED a new tranny... and its a toss-up between the T-56 that i would rather have... that will be used and cheap, and cheap to piece together (over time), or this Passon kit, which will fit my car, look right, and NOT require hacking (LOTS ov hacking from what i've read)... but cost enough to sideline my car for yet another year.
Still hoping for a small miracle... haha

Not to hijack this thread, but how does the overdrive unit Passon sells work? Does it somehow attach to the 833? What is needed to install it?
TIA 
It is a complete replacement 5 speed transmission...kick your 4 speed to the curb, bolt the 5 speed in, and go.

it's a new gear cluster, and you flip the 3-4 shift lever, just like the original A833OD, so it still only has 4 forward gears, but now direct drive (1:1) is in the 3rd gear shifter position, and 4th sends power through the countershaft and a .8 (IIRC) OD gear.
