86 5 speed trans am
did trans ams in 86 have a 5 speed option, besides the players challenge cars. I just bought a t top 5 speed 86 with the LG4 and it looks like original powertrain down to the factory holes in the trans tunnel, yet some have said they dont remember ever being a 5 speed option in 86.

Yes, the 5 speed was available.
Here are the powertrain options for 86:

What you couldn't get was a LB9 w/ a 5-speed.

Just for the record a manual transmission was available with ANY engine in the F-body except for the top Fuel Injected engine for every year.between 82-92...
