Making transmissions for different companies doesn't mean that Hydramatic wasn't part of GM. Hydramatic supplied transmissions to Ford (specifically Lincoln) for a few years...while Hydramatic was owned by GM. Hydramatic sold transmissions to Rolls-Royce and currently supplies the 5-speed automatic transmissions to BMW...all while being owned by GM.
