Did anyone hear or see, or own a 2021-22 Mustang (not Mach 1) that has the Tremec 3160 as the standard transmission? I was speaking with a 2021 GT owner who manages an Auto Zone and does a bit of work on his car and he says Ford put the Tremec in all V8 Mustangs after 2021 MY Job 1. Haven't seen or heard this anywhere else. if you have a 2021-22 please post a picture of the transmission in your car.

I gave it some thought from his perspective as a parts guy and may have found what his reasoning was. It looks like in 2021+ the GT uses the same flywheel and clutch as the Mach 1 TR-3160 set up. So if he was ordering those parts for clients he may have made that incorrect connection.

In the V6L
AND... the gear ratios are the same in the Getrag as they are in the Tremec.

OOPS! My mistake - I was comparing the slushboxes for the M1 and the GT. The manual gearboxes are definitely different.

It is his personal car and he killed the trans and had it done on warranty, paying for an aftermarket clutch kit. Seems to know but maybe not as in depth as us.
