Downers Grove, Illinois-based Aftermarket Technology has agreed a deal with Ford Motor Company covering its base remanufacturing transmissions business to the end of 2008.


The company has also been awarded the remanufacturing programme for Ford’s newest six-speed transmission – the 6R and production of remanufactured gearboxes will begin in 2007. The 6R is used in vehicles such as the Explorer, Mountaineer, Expedition and F-150 light truck.


Since 1989, ATC’s Autocraft Industries subsidiary in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma state, has provided almost two million remanufactured transmissions to Ford.
