Has anyone else seen the news on Google that GM as of August 6th has released a totally new transmission valve body they call a Gen 3?

Yes, it does. Or...the reason it was backordered for so long is because they we learning how to copy the changes made by NextGen, to fix the problem. Or...It's GM being GM. Remember how long they produced the SunShell on the 700R4's, knowing that they would probably blow apart with low miles?
