VLE Option-6 Dream tranny - still available, and new versioncoming

[ats at longcoeur.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Word of advice : Stay away from that bugger!

I ordered parts from these folks 6 months ago, and it took 12 emails, 6
phones calls to acquire 2 a-arms with bushings installed.

STAY away... do not trust these folks.
