Exactly. No slight against Canadian or Mexican workers and cars was intended.
In regards to the plant where the Mustang was built (the Rouge plant): it wasn't shut down but instead has been renovated and now builds F150s. So Mustang production is still in a US Ford plant and the old plant is still being used. I don't get YellowMach69s assertion that US UAW workers were screwed somehow.
All this is off the original topic so let's just let it die here.
Actually THE Rouge- where the (64-1/2- 2004) Mustangs were built is a huge complex- at one time the largest industrial complex in the World. That assembly plant is in fact closed, and an all-new Truck Assembly Plant is operating, building the F-150.
I don't know what Ford plans for the hallowed ground where the Mustang was built. I mean "hallowed"- the Mustang was built there for 40 years (1964- 2004) twice as long as the entire production run for the Model T (some also built in what became the Rouge Mustang plant). BUT- the plant was hopelessly outdated and inefficient.
The Auto Alliance plant is modern- and staffed by Ford UAW workers, just like Dearborn Assembly.
Do you know what bolt it was that was not put on right?
The Tremec 3650 is a carryover, but the previous version had a direct shifter. The new one is a remote shifter. I wonder if the bolt problem had anything to do with this?
For those that own a new GT, how is the shifting? I have not even seen a new GT yet. Are the shifts as precise? I would think it would be a little sloppy.
