Hummm....? The guys working at Hydromatic in Ypsilanti might argue about GM not building automatic transmissions with you, Paul.
However, I will note that unless the changed the laws over in Japan GM does not own Isuzu, the Japanese government does not (or at least did not) allow foreign control of Japanese Companies.

Uh, Bill, I hate to burst your bubble, but Isuzu isn't an American car, and it isn't a GM car. GM doesn't build transmissions. They buy them from suppliers, same as Isuzu. It might be the same trans that GM uses, but it's not their part. William Robb wrote:

I still want to hear about that tranny! <g>
Well, the GM built tranny in my Isuzu went south after less than 100,000 km (thats 62,500 miles for the metrically impaired). Cost two and a half grand to fix. I was mighty impressed. Apparently, it's the same unit they put into one of the Cadillacs. When the well fills up again, I am going to buy another made in Japan Nissan. The Nissan Axxess was the best car I have ever owned.
