Yes, more info would be helpful. I called to inquire about the feasibility of getting on the list and was told about a future price increase, that they had encountered an issue that they are working on and that no expected lead time could be provided. I asked for some more detail but he stated that he'd prefer not to provide detail at this time. He seemed really frustrated but I don't understand why the secrecy about issues. It would seem transparency would reduce rumors and negative speculation. I wanted to order one of his five speeds a while back but got no info so started down the Tremec path. Then I changed my mind on the Tremec and wanted to go back with the Passon plan. Now maybe back to plan B2 will be best.....?
