I still think that it is awesome that you are making a transmission here in the USA. I am always trying to find Made in USA parts, tools etc. & its downright impossible sometimes to find quality stuff. Heck my Tremec trans is Hecho en Mexico!
I have some idea of how hard it is to produce plastic `Cuda spoilers, but absolutely no idea of how difficult it is to bring a 5 speed trans into production, so my hats off to you sir!
When your A-866 six-speed eventually comes out I will probably be trying to talk everyone into installing the new Tremec T57 7-speed trans, so go figure? haha!
Good luck with the transmission and I hope you sell a ton of them!
