==History== TREMEC was founded on April 12, 1964. The genesis was to manufacture transmissions in Mexico for Ford, GM and Chrysler. At that time, the Mexican government enacted a protectionist policy that mandated all vehicles assembled in Mexico have engines and transmissions 100-percent manufactured in Mexico. A joint venture was formed which included one of Ford's large transmissions suppliers – Clark Transmissions – and two entrepreneurial companies based in Mexico. TREMEC's first transmissions would be produced later that same year.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://tremec-blog.com/a-brief-history-of-tremec |title = A Brief History of TREMEC - TREMEC Blog: Get Connected|date = 28 September 2018}}</ref>
