saw in a magazine that ford and gm joined forces and the two built a 10 speed tranny.
"Shared" design with some common parts, but still unique. Each company manufactures their own version.
Companies legally can develop hardware together as long as they part ways to manufacture and tune it, as GM and Ford say they will.
LINK One did the 9 speed and the other did the 10 as a side note Ford and GM are not strangers in the transmission arena, they teamed up on their six speeds also.
