Default 350 5sp?

I heard that with the 1le package you could get the L98 with a 5sp.. is there any truth to this? i thought the 1LE was just for brakes and suspension.. and that the T-5 couldnt handle enough torque and thats why it wasnt in the L98 cars..anybody know about this?

ive heard about a package you could get ( very few made however) that had the 350 TPI and the T-5 behind it. Madmike knows what it is.

The t-5 will hold up to the power, just not well enough for GM to put its warrenty behind it so they didnt include it on the 350 USUALLY.

NoFactory 5-sp mated with L98 (350TPI) only with the LB9 (305TPI) cars. Anyone says they made 5sp 350 caris full of BS.

That subject has been discussed on various Boards for more years then I can remember and one never produced any documents to prove it. It is a urban legend like the 50 1986 350 IROC's.

I got my info from various books that I have on Camaros. Not to offend or start a pissing match but I would tend to believe what varoius authers had written instead of what I find or do not find on the internet. I would hope that these people reaserch what they write about a little more than what people put on the web. Just because you can't find it on the web does not mean it does not exist.
