I applaud your tenacity with the adapters.
To be honest, I am a little fed up with AA at the moment. I have called them a couple times and each person I talk to had a different take on how to mate the 4L60/65e to a np205. Good for you taking the bull by the horns and making it work. There is more good info on this site than most of the vender's! (The ones not affiliated with us, of course
)
