Default Ford auto transmission supplier in liquidation

I was told this morning that there is no problem with my FPV GT's auto getting fixed, just that FPV want the company that made the auto to supply a new one, so things sounded good for about 5 seconds,
BUT!!!!!, I was then told that the company that make them is gone into liquidation, so I have no idea what is going to happen with the auto in my GT.

6 speed would be nice, but isn't the diff a different ratio to the 4 speed auto diff?

Not your problem...Ford's problem.

You have a warranty issued by Ford Motor Company, you paid an invoice from Ford... not from a Ford supplier.

Not just that there was mods to the shell for the 6speed. You cant get a 6sp in a BA. Unless you ask for the manual!!!!
