Is it Getrag or Aisin or is it manufactured by Mazda directly?

anyone able to answer this one?

I'm curious because of the reverse synchros. I've had a getrag trans before and it had synchros for reverse, but I believe the mazda 5 speed trans does not have it..

I searched online and couldn't find any clarification anywhere..

This question has been asked before, but no clear answer.

mazda makes the manual transmission, no one else
for the auto, I think it's ford because many design similarities as the 4 speed (which IS a ford tranny)... the misinformation has been floating around that its a jatco but I really don't believe that to be true at all

When ordering all the internal gears for the M/T all the parts are Mazda and no Ford bits.
