And the GM auto tranny is considered the "good" one compared to the ZF, right?

The ZF auto tranny issue seems to be well documented with these cars. But it seems that every one that's craped out has not been serviced properly. It's my understanding that if you change the tranny fluid every 20K miles (with synthetic) that these autoboxes will last as long as any other tranny on the market.
