Ford's new transmission was designed by Allison. It's not a copy but a
brand new 5 speed that Ford has all the rights to. I drove one that was
behind a V10. What a racket that combo made. Shifted nice though.


Never knew that. Having had both, no wonder my impression was that the Ford
transmission behaved very similarly to the Allison.
