4. The die cast aluminum housing source was found by AndyMark.

Thanks, Paul, for this clarity. I'll tweak it a bit:

For the 2005 KOP transmissions, AndyMark provided the aluminum faceplate and 3 of the gears. We did not provide the shafts, but we did give a bit of advice on the shaft design. Mark found the casting supplier, as it was a supplier of product castings to Delphi.

Thanks to Paul, IFI and FIRST for this great opportunity that was a large factor in helping our company become sucessful during our first year in 2005.

This is a great discussion. Thanks for starting this thread, Craig.
