no. they are shipping the pre-orders now...
For Mopars? Last time I checked, they were still in the development stages for Mopars. Think they're shipping pre-orders for GM cars now.

and you dont think you will be a guinea pig with any new trans?  this is not a corvette trans either. you are thinking of a tremec.....
Corvette / ford / jaguar , whatever that 700 is ..
i think Mr Passon is probably makin sure
That this doesnt turn out to be a fiasco ..
And to answer your question furthermore -
Nope cause it fits in the tunnel and i
wont have to change perfection with
My factory sheetmetal .. , wiring ,
Pinion angle - crossmember , etc .
Customer service has always been responsive
With this vendor - im certain it will be
Just as good after the release .. If not better .
This is hot roddin , use whoevers you want !
Ive learned patience and perseverance with this hobby brings success.
BTW im not here to bicker with anyone - this post is to enlighten the peoples waitin for this product .. who cares what the other guys are doin .. But the thread IS getting polluted .. I am at fault for adding to it , sorry ..

You just did indirectly imo .and its like your rubbin salt into the
Wound , whats up ..
If you dont have anything good to post , why post ?
Really ? Youre right ..all the major sawzall blades companies
Are designing a special blade formulated
To cut through virgin sheetmetal ..and moog is coming out with a special drag link , and spicer is creating an offset joint
To repair pinion angle problems . All motives to create such products evident in the ongoing post in question and answer forum on moparts .
All products Due to be released soon .
They better hurry , id hate to use a plasma cutter and burn
Through my carpet.!
I hope these guys dont lose out on the market window !

Look at it like this
there is not millions of people gonna line up to buy
and were talking abount a nice chunk of coin
some will wait and hope it makes it to market(wich i hope it does)
some will grow tired of waiting for a day that possible will never come
and want to drive there car now
will buy what on the market NOW
not many of the people will buy one now.and later also buy the passion tranny
again the line of people that can/will lay down a good chunk of coin for a aftermarket trans is not miles long
its been a long time sence the news of this tranny and still no product with no 100% you will ever get one for what ever reason
id love.to have one and know he wants it to be 100% for the market its simple people will buy based on the opptions they have in front of them

Everyone can say there gonna buy a new trans but the line of people who will actually put down the coin for (anyones) new tranny is not a long one

Yeah, like nobody buys Tremecs to put in their musclecars? I've lost count of how many companies offer packages. It it wasn't popular there would only be Keisler.
There will be people interested in 5 and 6 speeds for many years to come. I want a Passon 5 spd as well, and went through enough of a nightmare with Keisler to never want to deal with them again. Instead I ordered a Hemi OD from Passon. At least I know it will fit, and it will never blow up. And, Jamie actually answers the phone and emails.
Let him get the 5spd squared away.

I just went back and looked...THIS thread alone anounceing the debute and testing the fit is over 2years old
would the thought even been there from jamie to build a brand new tranny if the others tranny/s would actually fit our cars with out cutting.........being such a large market for them as some think

It sounds like that some think that Jamie is dragging his feet on this and hasn't released it because he doesn't want to get up off the couch and pause his video game. I'm sure it is far from this.
I'm certain he wants these in your hands as much as you want them. Good grief, he's got a pile of cash invested and the last thing he wants is to lose sales because people go someplace else. I'm sure it's driving him crazy, too.
But I for one commend him for making it right before he releases them. Seems like most of society would have put them out hoping that they wouldn't break but knowing there was a good chance they would.
Give him a break, I'm sure he's working on this as hard as he can. And don't forget, he's at the mercy of suppliers, just like you are having to wait for him.
I'm sure it will be worth it.

Im sure he is not dragging his feet and has no control over the issues that have came up
my thought was ...........
you know how it is when you get the buy a brand new car bug....but if for some reason ya hold off the urge passes???
i hope this will not be the case with jamies new tranny being its been over a few years sence he anounced the testing of the tranny
