a member's M6 broke on the 29th and GM acknowledged the problem with the output shaft. It is possible that the M6 Camaros scheduled for production before the shutdown were delayed due to this new issue which apparently requires a new tranny and if so, consider yourself lucky that your SS with M6 tranny did not get produced before the shut down.
I would think it would be a lot more hassle to get a broken tranny while driving, tow to dealer, wait for new tranny, etc. etc. compared to accepting GM is now aware of the issue, dealing with the extra week delay at the factory and get a car with a corrected tranny. If your car got produced just before the shut-down, likely, your M6 car would be sitting and being held in QC at this point waiting to go back to the factory for the tranny fix. Consider ourselves lucky!
