Getrag files for bankruptcy protection

TIPTON, Ind. (AP) - Getrag Transmission Manufacturing says it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for its Tipton, Ind., facility.

The facility was being built for the sole purpose of making dual clutch transmissions for Chrysler LLC.

But Chrysler recently terminated deals related to the construction and operation of the facility. That forced the German
manufacturer's unit to stop its operations in Tipton and cancel the project.

The company says the filing will allow it to deal with claims related to the project in an orderly and equitable fashion.

Getrag Transmission Manufacturing only includes the Tipton facility and the filing does not affect the other Getrag operations in the United States.
