If the rumors are true, and it's made in China, it's it the quality that people are worried about? Or the fact it just isn't built in the USA? Or maybe both?

You can do some quick research online and learn China has whole abandoned cities due to to new buildings crumbling. Some countries have banned China made steel because it is trash. China makes trash, they have no building code, integrity or accountability.If the rumors are true, and it's made in China, it's it the quality that people are worried about?

Ok....but again...does anyone have any documented/facts on where these transmissions will be manufactured or are comments and reactions just based on rumors? I'm concerned and curious because I intend to go with the manual but unless and until I see something definitive I'm figuring that will be an ok decision.You can do some quick research online and learn China has whole abandoned cities due to to new buildings crumbling.

Thanks. This is the closest thing I've seen to confirmation.Best I got are some news stories, like this one: https://www.autoweek.com/news/futur...o-may-get-new-seven-speed-manual-report-says/
" The MT-88 is reportedly being developed at the Getrag Jiangxi facility in Nanchang, China, which participated in the development of the six-speed MT-82 manual transmission found in the current Mustang, also produced in Nanchang. "
go to their website and see for yourself.Thanks. This is the closest thing I've seen to confirmation.
I agree. I will scratch the manual off my list, I am not going to take that chance of made in China.It is a proven fact (statistically proven), that Chinese made products are inferior to any other countries. The quality standards are just different and less strict. It’s all about quantity more than quality with Chinese-made products. USA, Japan, and German manufacturing focuses more on quality over quantity.
With that said, an item like a transmission (a crucial component in a vehicle) should be engineered and built in a high quality plant typically synonymous with the following three countries; USA, Japan, Germany.
