Why would Ford source 2 different 6 speed manuals for a new powertrain?

The clutch and flywheel are different between the V6 and the 5.0. The V6 has the dual-mass flywheel, the 5.0 does not.

This is a known issue
Its the bolts that hold the pressure plate to the flywheel, they are having trouble with them backing themselves out in certain circumstances and this is not a blanket (meaning everyone) issue, this is made worse by lots of high RPM usage.
Mine has already been replaced (2-3 weeks ago), I was the first one.
Ford Enginnering had to bring parts to my dealer to try, since no parts were available through normal channels.
I am running some new style bolts to see if they hold up better. My car is going back to Ford Corporate within the next two weeks for them to see how they held up.
Please PM me your vin and the name of the dealer the car is at.

I wonder if my dealer knows of this issue?
