84 4 banger camaro question
It's common knowledge that the 5 speed replaced the 4 speeds in 1983 correct. I had a 84 camaro bare bones stripper with the 4 banger however it had a 4 speed manual ( saginaw I believe ) never saw another 83 and later f-body with a 4 speed except for this one. And yes when I say bare bones stripper I mean no power anything, no radio, no a/c car didnt even have hubcaps

The bare bones base Firebirds and Camaros with the 4-cyl could be had with either a 4-speed manual or 3-speed auto for '82-84. I have a friend that had a real basic '83 base Firebird and 4-speed manual.

Weird, never knew that! Were they still making the trannies or just clearing out the warehouse? And why only the 4cyl in 1984?
