Hello outlawracer!!

Is your 5 speed transmission original to the car???

If it is, it's not a worldclass 5 speed, worldclass 5 speeds didn't come out in the Camaro until 1988!!

Since you're new to the T-5, you might to check out the following link (which has much about what to use in the trans):

BTW, I use Mobil 1 throughout.
