2007 transmission question

A guy on Facebook is offering a 2007 with LS2 and Automatic 6 speed with paddleshift. I thought the A6 didn't appear till 2008 with LS3 motor. Can anyone here confirm it is legitimate Motor/trans combo for a 2007 model. Thanks

Me too.

Pretty sure the A6 first came in the '06.

GM did not put much thought into their so called paddle shift transmission. Actually the paddles are way to small, and both do the exact same thing. either one is used to down shift and to up shift you will need to press a little extension with a plus sign on it just above the steering wheel.

There is a mod for this however and it is a simple fix.

A good tuner can vastly improve the paddle shift. Still no where near a dual clutch setup.

The A6 transmission is a tough unit and holds up well in the C6.
