So only the frame and interior were from Chrysler/Dodge, fortunately.

I will miss that big nasty smelly monstrosity, but certainly not the trips to the gas station or trying to park it.. well anywhere.

New Venture Gear was a joint venture created by Chrysler and GM and now almost owned by Magna! So the transmission is partly a Chrysler one!!

...from my point of view!!

New Process Gear, a division of Magna Powertrain, was a joint-venture automobile transmission company set up by General Motors and the Chrysler Corporation in February 1990. It was 64% owned by DaimlerChrysler and 36% owned by GM until February 2002, when General Motors sold its stake in the company to DaimlerChrysler. Magna International purchased 80% of the company, under the holding name "New Process Gear", from DaimlerChrysler on September 29, 2004 and continues to operate it. As of 2007, Magna owns 80% of the plant.
