I hope the "calm" comment was sincere, I am in your corner. Posting the pics you did was a smart move for this situation, and makes your case of full (5?) speed ahead. Sorry about your personal tribulations. I don't want to distract you further. bow

PS I corrected an omission on my part about the Herculean effort comment, not sure if anybody caught, or took it wrong, but I did correct it.

If you are suggesting moparts members, I see the making of a much watched TV reality show in the offing. laugh2

Jamie: This is probably a little premature, but at some point, will there be an option for different O/D ratio's? Running the numbers, a .85 O/D would make a great bolt in for my drag car. I can just have Liberty do their thing with the gears and sliders. Still has to be cheaper than a G Force or Equalizer.

He's made it clear that he doesn't want just anybody throwing these transmissions together. If you're spending that kind of money to get one, I'm sure you'll appreciate that. And like he said also, he's qc'ing parts so likely doesn't have all necessary parts or they haven't been approved by him.

Jamie stands by his stuff no matter what weird things may happen with them. And that's tough to do when you make or rebuild a product then are relying on us installing them ourselves when we could do a ton of things wrong on our part. He stood behind a transmission that did some weird, unidentifiable problems. He's answered the phone and help me with the rebuild of mine back when I was a teenager with a million questions. By the time I have the extra dough to buy a 5 speed, I'm sure they'll be in stock. once I get my new combo together, I love the fact that I'll be able to switch out the hemi 4 speed to a 5 speed in a few hours.

There will likely not be other OD options. I'm not quite sure that people are aware of just what it takes to make a ratio change like that. At minimum a different cluster gear and speed gear. Possibly an input then too. This translates into probably $6000-$8000 in tooling... That just does not make sense for us to do. Besides, if we did do another OD ratio it would certainly be a deeper overdrive not less of one.

So your saying. Jamie. Dont know a 5-6 people that he trust to make up a short assembly line?
I know a few people that was wanting a new tranny. But called and was told there on back order (waiting list) and went else where. And they have never even heard of moparts. Or this thread
Were not talking about a few weeks. Or even 6 monthes here lol this thread is over 5 years old

As a person with one of the other 5 speeds in my B body I can tell you I will patiently wait for one of Jamie's Boxes. Especially since the car it will go into is an E body. Great Pictures Jamie got all my nickels and dimes saved up.

Jamie,

Very sorry to hear of the family issues. Prayers coming your way from the Fast family.

Thanks for the update. My eggs are in your A855 basket, and I for one, appreciate the care your team is taking to bring a quality product to market. I'm impressed with the parts inventory!!!

If you need a '71 b-body as a BETA test bed give me a holler. I'm getting ready to get the beast on the road this early spring.

Gary "Fasbird" Fast

Anyone doing manufacturing knows, regardless of payment terms with suppliers (net 30, 60, 90 days) that the inventory pictures Jamie posted cost MONEY. Every day those sit not being built into a product that can be sold cost MONEY.

Jamie-I saw your transmission on Friday morning at Mopar Nationals 2014. I'm hoping by the time I need one, the car will at least have a paint job and your backlog will be all caught up.


Wow. You say you have a Sports Fury? Talk about rare.

Sorry to hear of the family issues I appreciate the update and am patiently waiting for the trans (at least trying to be patient) Keep up the hard work and it will pay off in the end!

Just got the call last week my e body 555 is ready to be built. I don't remember what # I was on the list. Anyway someone just moved up one position on the list as I just can't swing the $ 5 g's right now for my toy. bawling I did ask to be placed back into the rotation on the list and Jamie said no problem.
