Wow.
Based upon your description(s) when we talked, I am very surprised at the simplicity of the problem, a loose screw in the distributor. And if that is all that it really is, I wouldn't be concerned with pump/thrust bearing issues. A good tune on the transmission controller should resolve the problems we talked about specific to the transmission before and after.
Anyway, it sounds as everyone is stepping up big time to make it right. That in itself should be very comforting. My hat is off to Voss and others.
You do realize I will have to test drive it when you get it back to Phoenix.
