lt1 and manual trans I've been looking around for a 4th gen past couple days and it seems like slim pickins when it comes to manual trans. Did gm mate any lt1's in camaro/firebird with manual trans? All I see is hundreds and hundreds of v6 automatics, and every v8 I see is auto. Thanks all

yes of course they mated 6-speeds to lt-1's. u just have to look. i wish i would have looked more when i bought my car. but i needed a car at the time and i was a little crazy cause i had my first chance to buy an f-body. the next one will be stick for me even if i have to convert it over from auto to stick.

It's slim pickings because everyone will gobble up the manual trans before it ever makes it to the junkyard, and if it gets there, don't expect it to stay for long.

There are a few of them on ebay right now, cars that is. What car do you own right now? If you are looking for a car to cruise around in go with a T56, if you want a car for the track go auto. I'm sure you've heard that before though.

Hmmm i like my auto! i have it rebuilt with a shift kit so i never miss a gear! Dont get me wrong i love the 6 speed and wanted one, but i like the auto tranny when its rebuilt with shift kit and shifts hard.
Of course you will get more power to the wheels thru a 6 speed which is a benefit!
Good Luck!

Put a YANKSS3600 and 3.73 gears in your auto and you will be much happier like I am...
Sadly, you will still NEVER be able to beat the FUN TO DRIVE factor of the 6-speed t56...
I was more mad when I bought mine and right after I bought it my dream car (98 WS6 black on black) went for sale near me for just a little bit more on the price.. I about cried

I have a third gen Camaro right now with the shitty lg4. I don't feel great about dumping any more money into it. I want something newer and preferably 6 speed. Now answer me this- I've seen a couple nice LT1's with autos, how bad is a manual swap in these cars?
