I've got just a little under 2,000 miles on it but figure if there were going to be a problem it would have happened early.

I've got the GFI 5SR (Passon 5spd) transmission in my 64 Barracuda. The biggest problem is the lo-oong wait. It is a noisy transmission that sounds like an old Muncie rock crusher in the first three gears, (quiet in 4th and fifth though). I had to modify my tunnel a bit to get a right angle...

If you are using the 10-1/2 bellhousing flywheel etc. from the 340 I recommend the McLoed Street Pro as previously mentioned. You will need some linkage mods to use the 10.5 bell housing but it's pretty easy to round up the pieces or Brewers sells them. If you keep the 9.5" flywheel contact...

Ya, any old Mopar with a stick should have one. Possibly other brands but I don't know. If you find a used one grab the spring that holds tension while your're getting. If you don't find one try Ebay. NEW Mopar Clutch Linkage Spring Clip | eBay

Yes, there should be a little spring clip that holds the adjuster rod in place.

It is possible to continue to use the 9-1/2" bellhousing but clutch selection is limited. ( but they do make some adequate clutch assys that would work these days) You would also need to modify the small flywheel for 360 balance unless you zero balanced the engine. I ran the small bell with a...

What a shame. Hope this gets resolved quickly. It is really encouraging to hear how involved Garrett is. As far as shippers go, it is disappointing to know the service we get for the amount we pay. It seems like each of the three seem to be better or worse depending on area. Around here it...

Seth Garret is most likely the guy who originally assembled your transmission. He would have then shipped it to John Huff's shop in Casper, WY for a road test. That's where it got it's tested date in marker put on it. One of the things they check for is popping out of gear since it is a known...

A guy I know in Denver got an A855 from Jamie and it popped out of 4th occasionaly. He contacted Seth Garret and Seth had him ship it somewhere and it was back fixed within two weeks. He tells me it works like a dream now.

I recall several reports of the A855 popping out of fourth gear. Contact Seth Garrett GFI, 1800-880-9954 EXT# 104, 7:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. EST He'll get you underway to remedy the problem.

Yes, it is in fact, a bolt in fit with no modifications. Unless you want to put one into an early A-body. Then there a a couple of modifications. The crossmember needs a slight modification and you need to modify the tunnel a bit to clear the speedometer fitting.(Jamie says there will...

When did you get your 855? Do you know what list number you were? How's it working for you?

Your car most likely left the factory with a 9-1/4" Auburn clutch and pressure plate. If it has been replaced in the fifty plus years of it's life it probably got a stamped cover assembly. If you surface the flywheel you can put a 10" stamped cover assembly back in because of the way the...

I tried to swap parts from a later A833 to a 64 A833 and I don't remember what issues there were but I wound up reverting to the flange and it's still there today. More involved than I expected.

When did you get yours? Did it come from Passon? Have you installed it yet?

Video of shifting.....too bad it's not my tranny...

The website says they have 3 B-body and 8 A-body transmissions in final testing that should be ready to go.

Anybody see this A855 website yet? 5SR by GFI

Wow! I wonder how long it will be then for a guy like me at #181 on the list? It's already been a six year wait.

Did anyone stop by the Passon booth at Carlisle and get an update on the A855?

My wish would be that Jamie could get past the faulty parts supply issue so he could get more transmissions out and I could finally get one to put some lube into!

Glad the oil change looks to be a promising solution to your problem. I have been on the A855 list for about two weeks shy of six years now and want mine to work correctly when it finally arrives. Every one that is currently running and getting the bugs ironed out is encouraging to me. Please...

Yes, it seems the number one complaint is availablility. Oh, and the price went up again to $5475 now. Geo4K do you know what number you were on the list?

I recently talked to a guy who has a hot rod shop from Casper who claims to work very closely with Passon. He claims that the backlog is basically caught up except for B-bodies with the dual shifter mount tailhousings. Those had core shift but that is supposed to be remedied and Jamie should...

If you are interested at all in a Passon A855 I just talked to a guy from Casper Wy who claims to work very closely with Passon. He told me Jamie is pretty well caught up on orders for the A855 five speeds and that outstanding orders are for early A bodies (66 and earlier) which require some...

Very glad to hear a report of another one making the streets. Do you know what list number you were? What rear gear ratio and tire dia. do you have? RPM at cruise now? I hear they need about 500 miles to break in before you can get on 'em.

Yes, that was Jamie's vision from the beginning. Absolute bolt in. It is a hurst shifter so your existing handle should bolt right up.

I think Passon first made them public in December of 2010 at the PRI show in Orlando. A friend from Gainsville sent me a photo, joking that I needed one for my Barracuda. I got on the list 5 yr 8 mos ago.

Hurst makes the shifters for him, don't they?
