Guys I just got off the phone with Martin, he is alive and well just VERY, VERY, busy. He is still doing transmissions. He told me he will try and get some answers to you guys that have called/emailed or posted to him.
So you guys know, Martin did my transmission back in 2005, daily driven, and it has never missed a beat. I think I have about 40,xxx miles on it since he did it. In all that time it has never missed a shift!
So, just be patient, feel free to message him and he will get back to you guys!
