He took all the credit and praise, including 2 articles in Hot Rod magazine where it states 'Passon Performance has come up with an all-new, made in the USA transmission,' and was defended to the end for it taking so long to develop and to find decent suppliers for parts.
Problem is, there is no mention of GFI anywhere, who designed and built the damn thing.
You want all the credit, are actively selling it with your name on it, you can't just walk away when it goes south.

I know now they have been plagued with this same issue for a long time, and they went for cheaper suppliers at some point.
I'm trying to be objective even though my trans is crap, as well as the replacement.
The questions that I keep coming back to are, would you buy one now, and would you invest in the company right now, no conditions?
Also, according to GFI's website, to date they have produced 300 in 4 runs, including test trans.
