The only good things I can say about the GM tranny are:

It’s lighter than the ZF
It’s not an automatic

Those are the only positive attributes lol
You're confusing the automatic and manual suppliers. What you wrote is correct for automatics. Your car, though, most definitely does not have a GM transmission. I don't think that GM even makes a manual. I don't think they've made a manual since before WWII.

The two suppliers for manuals were Getrag and ZF. I'm not sure what the break point is, but its the same transmission made by two different suppliers.
