Exactly! Again, if these items were; emblems, buttons, covers, etc... then I wouldn’t give two shakes of a rats tail where they were made. However, in DOCUMENTED and PROVEN cases, Ford has had costly lawsuits from Chinese-made crucial components (specifically a transmission)....why on earth would they shoot themselves in the foot that way twice??Four points on all of this;
1: The Getrag design is fantastic.
2: The Chinese still can't get mass produced concrete right after 2,000 years because of an ingrained cultural disbelief in unsupervised QC.
Because of this disbelief in QC through personal honor alone, they are still forced to buy all of their turbine engines from other nations.
They've acquired or stolen all of the technology, but they can't get the 10,000 parts to hold together for even a 1/4 of the time Russian engines do.
So the Chinese buy from the West for civilian turbines, and Russia for military ones.
Having the anyone with these kinds of attitudes make a transmission for export is just begging for trouble.
3: Ford got that trouble in the form of a class action lawsuit from Mustang owners.
Yet FoMoCo still went back to the Chinese vomit bowl for another helping.
4: Either Ford is getting these transmissions for 10 cents on the dollar, or the Middle Kingdom is flying in free hookers and blow every week to Ford executives.
