GM's 8 and 10 speed transmissions are not great. Also the DCT from the Corvette. They're just not great designs honestly.

The reality of it is they should get out of the transmission business and just buy ZFs like everyone else is doing. It's wild how many times a vehicle is utterly let down by using an in house transmission instead of the ZF8. Mazda with the CX90, Ford with everything using the10 speed, GM anything with the 8 or 10 speed, pretty much every Nissan, pretty much every modern Mercedes... Just buy the ZF8!
