Passon 4-speed with O/D...

Hey guys... anyone install a newer Passon 855 with overdrive?? My tranny is the original 4-speed in the car, and its about to go. I had no idea they were getting over $5K for this thing...JEEZ!

I have the Passon 4 speed OD and I love it. I bought it about 10 years ago. The 5 speed wasn't available then. Back then it cost me about $2500 because Jamie gave a $500 credit on the parts from my original 4 speed which were in excellent condition. Once I put it in OD I go from a 3.91 to 3.13 rear. Saves on fuel, engine noise on the highway and engine wear. Since I do drive my car on the interstate occasionally I really needed it. I can easily keep up with traffic.

Stay away from the Passon 5 speed! Go over to FABO and read the lengthy post how he has treated his customers. I've heard his overdrive gearset for the 833 is no better. A few people have had good luck so far with them, but the rest not!
