Default Who actually makes the stock 6-speeds

Ok, stupid question time. Just wondering who actually produced the 6 speed transmission that came stock in the f-bodys.

Borg Warner originally made the T56. Supposedly they were losing money on it, and they sold it to Tremec who moved production to Mexico. I don't know exactly when the sale happened, and there was almost certainly an overlap period with "Borg Warner" still on the castings, due to both parts already in inventory and the need to modify the tooling.
