5spd?

Some guy told me that there were some 90 camaros made with the 5spd for the 350 TPI. He said they were really rare to find or something. Anyone know about this? I don't need an explanation, just a yes or a no.

That didn't happen. Any you might see would be engine or tranmission swaps.

TexasLT1 runs a T-5 in his LT1 powered thirdgen. That doesn't mean that it was rare and that it came with the LT1 T5 5spd combo.

If anyone says that they had better have some RPO codes and sheets for their car to back that up. Because its

Even 1LEs didn't have the 350/5 speed combo. If you wanted a 5 speed 1LE, you got a 305.
