A855 - 5 Speed

I also think just because person a has had success with a product doesn't negate the issues person b has had with the same product. The OP obviously wasn't just posting this to complain, he had a hell of a time with Passion and this transmission. I don't blame him for posting this and warning others, and I just don't get the people who come on here and act like he's making it up or that he's being dramatic about it.


And just because someone didn’t have success with a product mean that all are bad. The fact is that the vast majority of people who use a product without an issue never say a word. The ones with an issue do.

The only way to know for sure what’s happening is to see how many units sold and how many warranty claims there are, wan what they were.

No one said anyone is making anything up. The guy had an issue. Another guy says he didn’t and you’re gnawing a new hole in his ***. Can both be true? Certainly. And like me, you don’t have near enough information to determine if the Passon box is junk or not.

Would I buy one??? Hell yes, if I was younger and wanted to invest that money in a 5 speed that isn’t geared for what I want and as far as I know doesn’t have any gear sets to remedy that. I looked at them HARD when they first came out. Until he fixes the gear ratio issue, I’ll pass. Or, offers an option to make 5th direct and puts enough first gear in it to make a car actually move.

But I’m not afraid the box won’t work.
