Passon 5-speed

You know it sure is funny with these companies. Take Keisler for instance. I know they are out of business now, but look at The Green Brick. It had one in it what.......10 years ago? Longer? That sure is funny ain't it? Who all has a Passon transmission? Who got the first few? "Special folk" like Rick Ehrenberg, I bet. My money says Passon will fold under the pressure. I hope not, but I bet he does.

I have to to disagree with you on the "Special folk" that got the first few. I have one and I am just a normal guy from small town Canada, I have no special connections and had never done business with Passon prior to this, I saw it talked about in the Mopar magazines years ago and called up put my name on the list and waited. About a year into the wait i was contacted and asked if I was really serious about buying one and if I was it was time for a 50% deposit so i forked out some of my hard earned money and waited for another year and a half and got one. Nothing special about that, if you want something that bad you have to wait, there were dates I was supposed to receive it that came and went and that was a bit frustrating but it is all part of it. I think part of the problem with the sale and marketing with these units is it was announced to early when it was still in design and development and far from the production point and I believe that this announcement was made early was because McLeod announced that they were coming out with there own 5 speed and Passon had to let it be known that they had spent a lot of time on designing there unit and wanted people to know that. As it turns out we haven't seen the McLeod unit yet, I'm glad I wasn't on that list!
