How GM's Six Speed Transmission Works

[jd5179]

how reliable are they ?

[ITBOILSMYBLOOD]

I suppose the 6 speed transmission WOULD save even better on gas if they didn't get the gearing so high on a lot of these new models.

[xxvolkerxx]

yeah good to know HOW it works. they did say that didn't they -.-

[SteveXnycperformance]

GM = GOVERNMENT MOTOR. what does the goverment know about building cars?

[DanFrederiksen]

Gm, it would be much better to use just a single fixed gear on an electric motor. why are you all still so retarded?

series hybrid plugin with a relatively small battery pack. are you so evil that only total destruction of GM will change your ways? are you incabapable of becoming reasonable. the GM Volt is nowhere near enough. no models should have just combustion engine drive. not one. series hybrid or better.

Nice car GM! But you took our Jobs to China! Buick City in Flint MI is GONE, torn down. The Dort HWY plant GONE torn down. Chevrolet ave "chevy in the hole" GONE yrs ago. All of our manufacturing power is now in the hands of Chinese COMMUNISTS!! Oh that is smart if we had a war against them the first thing we'd have to do is blow their GM plants up. GM plants can build WAR equipment and did in WWII. Think about that. GM=traitor.

That's why everyone should buy Ford now. The ONLY one of the big 3 that didn't take any money, or outsource anyone, and all the while increased production. Not trying to be biased here, but personally I like a company that doesn't have to take my money to get themselves out of bankruptcy, all because they let the union get them by the balls, and then make too many platforms that competed with each other in the same markets, to eventually force them into obsolescence.

[GranFury440]

@ tamaninja00. Uh Noooo. The Union [UAW] did NOT get GM by the "balls." GM got the union by the balls! GM destoyed the UAW from the inside out, it took years to do it but GM got what they wanted. Cheaper labor with no union to protect the workers. Manegements NEVER likes unions. The Union didn't hurt GM. GM just plain left us out of GREED. You should see why we had the 1937 sit down strike!

[tamaninja00]

Well whatever...facts are facts and Ford didn't take any money, that's where my next truck is comin' from!

[GranFury440]

Yeah and the facts are that GM fucked the american people over and did a good job fooling gullible people like you. I don't give two shits if you buy from Ford you moron. GOOD! At least it's an american company who was the most honest and didn't accept the Gov bailout shit. I have nothing against Ford. this isn't a Ford Vs. GM argument! I'm talking about GM's greed. U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D??

[tamaninja00]

Good lord, what the fuck is your problem? Now you're calling names? I wasn't trying to turn this into a Ford vs gm debate. Jeez, grow up dude

[GranFury440]

Tamaninja00. "Good lord"!!! stfu asshole. You were the one who kept bringing up FORD. Go buy from ford GOOD do so they ARE american Buy from them already I don't CARE!! Who cares about fucking Ford! You don't know how to stick to the subjct and that is that GM is evil.

[tamaninja00]

I know that gm is evil, you need to calm down man, I don't know if you work/worked for gm and that's why you're pissed off, but seriously dude, you're acting like a child. Calling me names, telling me to shut the fuck up, then calling me more names. The reason why I brought up Ford is because they're not evil like gm. Just chill out

[GranFury440]

You pissed me off about unions. You seem to be anti union like every other person on the net nowadays. Unions don't hurt companies the companies do. Management NEVER likes unions. Do you know WHY we had the famous Flint MI sit down strike in 1937? GM hired goons to kill the sit downers which forced the national guard to step in and stop GM. GM killed our UAW slowly through bribes and dumb people like you who don't know any better. Nothing like the "old" union nothing stronger.

[tamaninja00]

There ya go...you're assuming. Can't do that. I'm in no way anti-union. Unions do more good than bad, and I support them whole-heartedly!! I've driven GM's all my life, and they've done nothing but give me grief. I tried Ford...and i've been pleased with them ever since. Again...not trying to turn it into a gm vs Ford thing,but if I remember correctly,Ford did sign a very nice agreement with the UAW before everything turned to shit.I think that's what really helped save them in this economy.

[GranFury440]

@ tamaninja00. Well you did say....... "all because they let the union get them by the balls." .... Now what did THAT mean. Hey if I assumed then great, I would definetly hope that you aren't anti union. I was genuine when I said it was good for you and others to buy from Ford. I only got my Pontiac G5 from GM because I got it brand new paid in full for $8,100 dollars. Ford couldn't beat that with their focus. My budget kept me from buying more expensive. Ford is definetly good.

[tamaninja00]

Hey...as long as we're keepin' our money where it belongs right?

[GranFury440]

Keeping our business and money circulating here? I couldn't agree more. But take note and this is to everyone Unions don't drive companies to export american jobs. Greed does.

[tamaninja00]

exactly

[sniffsnarff]

with the UAW being majority share holder of at least one of the big 3 automakers, I don't see your point.

My current truck is a 2005 Chevy Colorado. I am the original owner. I have had more problems with it than I ever had with my 1989 Honda Accord, more than 300,000 miles on the odometer, has been driven hard for years and now belongs to my cousin, who continues to drive it hard. GM and it's employees deserve to be out on the street, reassessing their lives.  The didn't deserve a bailout.

[GranFury440]

Go suck Honda off good for them. My neighbor has a 90' chev suburban a UNION made truck with 425,000 miles original drivetrain nothing rebuilt it is driven REAL hard everyday.... And?.... GM deserves to die out but never will due to their China investments. North american GM could die but GM itself won't. North american GM employees DON'T deserve what happening to them, what livable wages and job safety from what WAS the "old" UAW is bad? You know what go die fucker.

[sniffsnarff]

Union workers absolutely deserve what happens to them as a product of the game they have played - the life they have chosen.

In so far as the your assertion that I "go die fucker": based on your home page and it's ugly Pontiac mosaic background, and your ill tempered disposition, I estimate that you are one such of those looser union workers, uneducated, filthy, ignorant of the great minds who provide your feeble hands with work.

You can go die in a hole.

[GranFury440]

Hey sniffsnarff you spelled loser wrong, isn't it ironic that in your insult towards me you make yourself look like the loser it's not "looser." Ha ha "looser" as in your asshole from your faggot boy toy? Then you call ME uneducated again double the irony! In 1937 before UAW children were forced to work with no breaks with dangerous NON OSHA machinery that killed them on a daily basis etc etc so began the famous sit down strike in Flint MI. GM even hired goons to kill the strikers.

[WhirlinGraphics]

Oddly enough the GM six speeds were developed in conjunction with Ford!

[426rwhpC5]

GM FTW!!!!

[bajabusta]

I agree completely!
