Good news for this never ending story.  ....... soooooo where is the good news ?? The trans is out of production at this time . The last round of pricing that I saw had them selling for about $7500 plus shipping due to the increased price of internal parts ect. I hope people that got one can get them any needed service and good to know some parts are available. So at this time the trans is out of production. Hope thats not the end of the story. " Howdy guys, this is Seth Garrett of Garrett Fuss Inc. I just wanted to pop in here quickly to drop off some info, GFI has not gone out of business and the A855 project is not dead. Due to the rapidly increasing cost of manufacturing (steel pricing being the main culprit) we have paused production of the A855. The website going down at the same time was actually due to our website host raising their pricing 10X. Due to this the website was taken offline, I am currently rebuilding it on a new host as an informational page to offer support to our A855 customers. I would also like to note we are still handling service calls and most parts are still in stock for repairs. Also my email seth@5speedmuscle.com was through the old website host and I have no access to it for the time being, if anyone on here sent an email there and got no response recently, I apologize."
I see some "good news" in this comment. Now if it turns out to inaccurate or false, my observation will change The only news I gather from this, is they're broke. Kevin

Kevin Then I guess this is a good example of glass is half full vs half empty perspective. Being broke for an entrepreneur is a rite of passage.

I was on the Passon Site yesterday. They are no longer advertising it or offering it for sale.
