They're really not good gearboxes.

Keep in mind, with the 4 speeds I drove casually. With this 6 speed, I can push it hard and it's still going strong almost a year later.

They're quite an old (American) design bolted to a modern engine. It simply doesn't mix well. 4 speeds (4L60e) are the bread and butter of automatic transmission rebuilders in Australia.

My father killed one in his daily driver, and all it did was go 20km each way to and from work. My Aunt's Commodore was recently in the shop getting a new 4L60e. They're simply not suited to the car.
