Question M6's: Is it a Tremec?

I was just wondering if our "T-56" was a Tremec build--I was checkin' the new GTO out on pontiac.com and saw that its M6 was in fact a Tremec. Let me know.

Wasn't it around '97 or '98 that Tremec bought out Borg-Warner? At least thats what I recall reading a while back.
T56 problems - the most common complaint has to do with jumping out of 3rd gear or getting stuck in 4th gear. The problem *seems* to have started when Tremec started building the T56 in 1998 (after taking it over from Borg Warner). The T56 is also a fairly noisy trans.

From the Transmission Technologies website:
Transmission Technologies Corporation (TTC) is part of the DESC group, one of Mexico's largest automotive component suppliers. DESC is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DES.

TTC is a joint venture between DESC's automotive operation and Dana Corporation, traded under the NYSE symbol DCN. With the acquisition of TREMEC in 1994, the acquisition of Borg Warner's manual transmission operation in 1997, and the relocation of Dana's medium- and heavy-duty transmission operation in 1998, the Transmission Division became a full service Tier 1 transmission manufacturer.
