I know it's completely insane but chevy and Ford said that the will work together to make a new transmission. How could that be possible? Don't belive me? Here's the article: Chevy & Ford?

 

US Automakers have been working together for some time now. Chrysler and GM went in on the purchase of New Process back in the late 80's and combined it with a few other operations to make New Venture. GM backed out and now it's a wholly owned subsidiary of Diamler-Chrysler. Ford and GM worked on a new small car line to beat back the import invasion in the late 80's. Ford backed out of that deal in the early 90's... in 1993 it became a GM branch. That brand is the Saturn line.

Does anyone remember AMC? You say it was a part of jeep but I do not think so. Mine had a ford starter and a dodge alternator. This has been going on for a long time. It may be to exchange technology or steal ideas. I pick up parts for all the big three. I loaded at one place going to GM Beloit WI. The guy next to me loaded to go to Toyota Seymour, in. That tells me there is a level of trust between the auto companies. I say if they all start hurting for money they all will be looking for a reliable efficient vendor to build parts.
