A855 - 5 Speed
I think that Passon got in over his head and is now trying to exit with whatever dignity he can muster.
With all due respect, I completely disagree.
I know what I know via direct experience, on the phone and in person, over many months, many opportunities.
There is no evidence of trying to exit any involvement with the A855, by his own admission and his website. In fact, the last few posts include people who have called to inquire about the A855.
Dignity is not in his vocabulary.
He told me he already spent too much time on me, after only a few calls, and then decided he would not drive to my house after stating he would after Carlisle.
And that's just the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
Fast forward to last week, a disabled vet calls with limited time, and no mention of any potential issues with these trans?
I don't believe for a minute the vet didn't explain his situation, because he immediately joined fbbo last Wednesday and posted about it.
In the same thread, a fbbo member chimes in regarding a new rebuilt trans, not an A855, with a warranty, and I quote, "Just as with others who have had warranty claims, Jamie instead from the get-go tried to deny
culpability and rather arrogantly tried to blame me for the issue with the transmission."
Exactly what I experienced.
From my earliest posts, I didn't seek to bash anyone or place blame, just give them the opportunity to make it right, and also the time.
I've stressed this throughout, it's more about the recovery than any mechanical issue.
No ownership, no empathy, no accountability, no follow up or follow through, no remorse, no dignity earned.
