OTOH, if he's going to re-offer the kit for a lower price as a trade-off for his liability disclaimers, that'll work out for the positive for those folks that are more, shall I say, savvy than this one guy. Given Jim's apparent attention to detail and the feedback from current owners, I'd be willing to take the chance, if it really even is one.

 RE: No More Bostig Kits for ATs

Very disappointed to hear that as I have been figuring that I'd go that
route when the time comes on my '90 Westy w/AT.  And from the write up of
the problem it seems that the decision is based on one problem, repeated, on
one vehicle and the work done by one shop on one transaxle and one engine.
If they have not seen the same problem occurring with other installs then
Bostig should be lauded for their overly cautious action on this but it
still appears to be an isolated problem, isolated to that one vehicle and
shop.
