Default V-6/V-8 same auto trans?

I know tha V6 and V-8 have different manual trans, but do the V-6/V-8 have the same same auto transmission?

Thanks

Yes, I'm pretty sure they both use the 5R55S trans.

so the auto should be 'overbuilt' slightly for the v 6?

It depends which way you want to look at it. It's either a little bit of overkill, or an opportunity for some growing room on the sixxer without the tranny being the limiting factor.

As are the Forged Internals the V6 motor has.
Over Built some sorts. The shift stratagies are a little
different between the Auto GT and the AUTO V6.
