[QUOTE="Tob, post: 10669765, member: 83412"] As the article mentioned... Thus, they are not talking about the Tremec unit (but they should be mentioning it as well). I've wondered about the use of this transmission since day one. I've yet to see the official, as used in either the GT, Boss, or LS Mustang, the torque rating of the MT-82. All the ratings I've been able to dig up were below the rated output of the Coyote engine (memories of mid-eighties five liter Mustang T5 debacles). Without getting sidetracked into any type of political arguments, I fully understand the move to outsourcing by major manufacturers. Labor costs (medical, pensions, frivolous lawsuits, etc) were/are out of control. Until we dump all the expenses associated with parts/cars being made in the US - China and Mexico will continue to make inroads into what was once [i]only[/i] made here in the US. But I digress...if the transmissions are being made to Ford's specifications and are meeting all relevant QC standards, then the problem clearly resides with engineering and design. Ford [b]should[/b] be working with Getrag on a smoother/stronger MT-82 in addition to addressing the 6060 with Tremec. [/QUOTE]
