[QUOTE="JoeAsheville, post: 567424, member: 4116"] JT, You have the most rational questions, which is why I keep quoting your posts. I don't claim to have all the answers, I'm just brainstorming with you. :thumbsup: At this point it looks like the Cobra spec T56 is a new item that is not in any other Ford car at the moment. If this is true, then there was a point in another thread where Ford most likely takes the entire unit (replaced under our warrantee) and then throws it back on TTC, who then makes it good on Ford for the warranty (since it is a new designed part in a new application, and therefore Ford needed a few failsafes designed into their contract). It all depends on the wording of the agreement, but I bet that in order to be a Tier 1 parts supplier TTC would have to not only eat the tranny but pay a portion (if not all) the charging dealer's labor costs if it was replaced. Using these assumptions, it makes sense why Ford is replacing entire units and usually has no problems with it if the car has no mods (realistically). Again, it depends on how the agreement between TTC and Ford is worded, but right now TTC is not supplying replacement parts for service of the assembly. Reasons? Would it be that TTC is using 100% of its parts to make transmissions to satisfy its contractual obligations to Ford as a Tier 1 supplier and therefore has nothing to spare right now? :??: [/QUOTE]
