I've never had any trouble from a GM Automatic.
I have had a C4 let go and leave me stranded..

90% of the transmissions I replace are from GM's. 4L60E and 4L80Es are junk!

Odd.... The ones I've had were great.. I did have a TH125? In an 85 Celebrity that shucked it's lockup convertor.. I just unplugged the lockup wiring and Dar put another 75k on it before we gave the car to a cousin..

Wow.. That was news to me.. thanks for the link!

That's not the first time. The FWD 6F35 was a joint design between Ford and GM. I think those are holding up well, but my personal experience is limited. My worst bad habit is not holding onto a vehicle long enough to wear out tires, let alone for any kind of opinion on reliability.

no problem. I think I read about that a year ago in a diesel magazine. I think it is for trucks. hopefully the bell housing bolt pattern is universal or easy to change to swap between trucks. give more availability for finding used transmissions when they start to crap out

2010-present Fusion, and I believe some of the larger FWD models as well.

We were kind of considering a used edge. Seemed like the 07-09 had random transmission trouble.
