Exactly. I don't believe GM nor Tremac are not aware there is an issue with aggressive shifting, and a fix for the problem. In my opinion I think it's a cost savings issue more so than a technical issue.
Most people do not drive sports vehicles the way they should be driven therefore out of 500k tranmissions distributed perhaps 1% will have the issue, and out of those most will likely chalk it up as driver error.
For example; if it cost $5 or $6 x 500k to include better parts in the tranny that's quite a saving to use the crappier syncros, bearings which seems to be the way to fix the problem.
The bigger problem here is when those "few" people complain about the issues (regardless if it's the clutch, tranny, shifter, master / slave cylinder, et al) and the automaker and tranny vendor pretend there's nothing wrong instead of fixing it on a case by case basis.
I agree with you, this is not some one off related problem, there are many reports of this in relation to the TR-6060, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do some basic searches and find numerous complaints reported all over the internet in relation to this transmission, nor does it take a mastermind to see how the problem is being fixed.
So, regardless if it's the clutch, tranny, or any other parts it may be the "combination" used with this transmisson or the parts used inside the transmission, but GM should be ethical about the way they're handling the problem to keep their customers happy instead of pointing fingers at the consumers.
