RE: Re: marlin on an Auto

["Phil Johnson" <pjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about how long for a kit, but we did design our solutions with
the Market in mind. The speed sensor was a major problem. It is a totally
different design on the newer A340F trans. We had to do some special machine
work to put the sensor from my truck on the newer trans. I will have details
in the write up.

Right now the cost is high for an AT swap because of the cost of the
replacement trans. As for the dual case costs, everything but the new plate
is in his catalog. You could estimate the cost of the plate. He hasn't
worked out everything yet.
