How has GM not fixed the 10-speed?

I genuinely don’t understand how this transmission is so bad? I had the dreaded valve body issue, and instead of waiting on a list 3500 deep, I got a full OEM transmission swap as I am still under warranty.

The new one still occasionally lurches when downshifting, and consistently hunts for gears.

How has GM stayed competitive when their transmissions are just….bad? Even my Ford with the same 10 speed is significantly better.

We have a 2024 suburban RST with the affected 5.3 engine. Is this the same transmission? We’ve had ours for a year and a half and haven’t noticed any issues.

Yes, you have the 10-speed. It’s seem to have hit Silverado’s the worst but I am guessing by 2024 there has been some working out of the kinks

Ok. I’m glad they seemed to have worked out the kinks but sucks it was at your expense. Hope you get it sorted out. I was very nervous buying the 10 speed because I had heard some negative things. Unfortunately everything has 10 speed. Even the other manufactures so I just figured I’d get an extended warranty as well.
