It's still using the ZF 9-speed. Fiat 500's use Aisin transmissions.
The SILs car had a rather wonky transmission... at first.
IMO, it's one of the reasons they were able to be had for cheap. The early ones did not work right.
It was greatly improved by a couple of software updates.
The ZF transmission has a bad reputation based on those early impressions, but it's a deal opportunity now.
A bunch of Hondas and Acuras are using it.
