Basically, the 5-speed deal has manufacturing, quality, and financial problems. Sounds like the whole thing is screwed up, and even if you got one, you're on your own if/when problems arise. And according to an old thread here, the transmissions do have problems.

I hope you have not paid any money yet. If so you may be in a terrible position I had to cancel a credit card transaction to get a response. That’s why I now use Brewers exclusively. Jamie is a one man show and life just kicks you in the but sometimes, so I’m not going to dog pile on the man, I just can’t use him. Brewers has help and they are a constant on this board. First class people and it’s a family that runs the business.

Jamie was more of the front man for the transmission, I'm sure he was involved in the development and marketing processes, but there were two other men behind the manufacturing and repair side of the thing. I sent mine back years ago because it would pop out of first when on-and-off the throttle at low power. They younger of the two guys, Seth Garret- (from Hanover PA & great guy to deal with), fixed it and sent it back. I've put 5 or 6k miles on it since then and love it.

Jamie might be busy with a lawyer and not able to get to the phone? I’d have just said I’m out on the 5 speed and offer a full line of 4 speed stuff and left it at that. I want my fair share

I wasn't told other than he knew what to look for and change/adjust.The gear oil he recommended to be used was also very specific to this transmission (Redline MTL which is a GL4) 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(Stock drivetrain in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's & EFI. 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible Paxton Boosted 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 3.91's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

Jamie was responsive to my inquiries regarding shipment time. Seems he has had some family related emergencies recently. He was professional in my dealings with him. Life sometimes gets in the way of best intentions.
