Halted production on MT82?

[iamchewby]

Can anyone confirm this? Google has nothing so far, and all I've seen is this little blurb on webull but don't have an article to go with it.

The news just keeps getting better and better. Everything is delayed except for the windshield wipers.

The Bronco is using the MTI550, am I missing some thing, entirely possible.

The MT-82 is the Mustang manual transmission.

That’s alright, like 8% ordered that transmission.

Too late.

As companies in virtually every market grapple with shortages, perhaps no industry is being hit harder than autos. Multiple plants have been idled by a semiconductor crisis that’s costing tens of billions of dollars in lost revenue, while materials from seating foam to metal to plastic resin are also becoming harder to find. The industry, which has long relied on just-in-time manufacturing to reduce costs, is finding it has limited flexibility to deal with supply chain disturbances wrought by the pandemic.


The rubber shortage threatens to further disrupt vehicle production just as demand rebounds and the Biden administration douses the U.S. economy with $1.9 trillion in stimulus spending. And rubber problems could prove particularly thorny because the trees need seven years to mature, making it unlikely the supply will quickly bounce back.


“It’s like paper towels early on during the Covid crisis,” said Steve Wybo, who heads the auto practice group at consulting firm Conway MacKenzie outside Detroit. “If you can get your hands on some plastic, or some rubber, you’re going to order more than you need because you don’t know when you’re going to be able to get it next.”


Carmakers including Ford Motor Co. and Stellantis NV, formerly known as Fiat Chrysler, say they’re monitoring the rubber situation but have yet to feel an impact. General Motors Co., similarly, says it isn’t worried about its rubber supply. France’s Michelin, one of the world’s largest tire makers, is skirting port congestion by using air freight shipments direct from Asia.


But for suppliers reliant on U.S. distribution, rubber is already a concern.

The MT82 goes with the 5.0 v8.
So are you saying the bronco is getting a v8?




Lol
This is how all those wrong rumors get started.
Your Mustang may be delayed from this but not your bronco.

Good, Ford should discontinue that crappy Getrag MT82 transmission all together! Their made in China anyway, so I don't understand how Ford is suspending production? Ford doesn't make them. I swapped my Mustangs MT82 with a Tremec T-56 Magnum XL.
