It doesn't sound like you're very familiar with the transmission failures that have taken place. While some can, of course, be attributed to abuse there are significantly more failures with the Chinese built MT-82 than there have been with the T56 in all of its iterations. Surely Mustang owners are no more "clownish" than Camaro/Corvette/Viper/CTS-V/GT500/SVT Cobra owners (all of which, incorporate the T56). The fact of the matter is that Ford saved what probably equates to a couple hundred dollars by foregoing the time-tested T56. The GT500 still uses the T56, it will bolt right into the car.
