This may be a dumb question, but why are you going to a 5 speed tranny, if I may ask?

1-3 hrs for a fuel pump? It took us 30 minutes! The shop I use( http://www.billetdesign.com/home.php ) installed my AEM EMS and all supporting items(Map sensor, IAT sensor, etc.) & re-tuned it in 1 1/2 hrs. My clutch took 6 hrs, it was a Carbonetics twin, pull to push conversion. Something isn't right with that shop, or your not telling us all the details.

What's this in regards to ROBISPEC?

stuff takes time.. i would go down there and take a look.. if it is a shop that does repairs and body work too, then they will work on collision repair before your evo because thats how they make most of their money.. i would def pay a personal visit and see what progress has been made

5 speed is stronger and truthfully better gearing. that is why the fastest evos and the best road racing evos are all 5 speeds.

The clutch + tranny swap probably has them confused as hell but I def dont think it should take 4-5 weeks. Plus you have to remember its a business and they probably only work 9-5 and they have other customers they have to deal with besides you.
