Yes, we all know that auto transmissions never have any issues

Sorry you had problems with your M6. Agree with others though that the m6 in the c5z was not built for drag racing, neither was the diff. These cars were clearly built for road racing. Mine has 46k on it, 1 owner before me and I got it with 36k. Stock clutch and trans working fine, no issues. I made 3 passes in the 1/4 with it, no power shifting.
