8 speed & 10 speed swap

So I’ve been wondering for a while if it’s possible to take a Camaro with and 8 speed and swap it for a 10 speed and how easy it would be as I have a 2019 with the famous transmission issues that came with them and I’ve always wanted a 10 speed. If anyone knows anything about swapping them and any problems there might be it would be greatly appreciated

Easier to trade the car in. Not joking.

I've seen it done on a couple CTS-V3's, but I can't speak to complexity or cost. I believe someone created a wiring kit/module for it. Vengeance Racing is doing one now.

IMO trading the car or getting that 8-speed tuned properly and fixed up (fluid, perhaps even torque converter) would be much easier. I have no issues at all with my tuned A8; sure, the A10 is somewhat better, but definitely not $5-10K or so better.

Yeah it might the be the 8L45 version. Not sure if that would make going to a 10L80 or 90 more difficult or not.
