http://www.tremec.com/noticias_detalle/tremec-moves-to-new-facility/The project represents the company’s first major manufacturing operations in the United States. The new 125,000 square foot building will enable TREMEC to expand Michigan operations from technical and customer support to a complete full service facility with engineering, business development, testing, and transmission assembly operations under one roof. The automotive transmission operations are expected to produce high-torque dual clutch transmissions for OEM vehicles.

Basically, the feeling of any maneuver depends on the way torque is transferred to the wheels. The Tremec DCT technology opens up an array of custom options.
Very interesting.Somebody sent me a note and was of the opinion that the GT500 will not use a Tremec DCT and that the proof lies in the fact that the facility that will be tapped to manufacture them isn't up and running yet.
Searching for a clear answer I see a number of stories from last summer with respect to a move to Wixom, MI (but with a mailing address in Novi, MI). Wixom was successful in beating a few other domestic locales as well as Mexico, etc. Tremec plans to spend 54 million on the facility.

How do we know that the potential GT500 transmission will be built there? Tremec put it this way...

I can't find anything current regarding completion and whether or not any DCT's have been produced there yet. I would assume that if the GT500 is announced soon and available to order in 2018 that the facility would be fairly close to being up and running. Anyone in the area that can provide clarity here?
Bring on the ferocity, err boring, Tremec.

Apparently they have dual clutches as well.
#metooI thought I noticed a little clutch slipping there. Maybe just some shaft play? Hardy weinstei er I mean hardy har har. (Too soon?)
