Default transmission may be shot

well i was driving along in 5th, i down shifted to 4th and it felt strange so down shifted into 3rd and it got stuck there.

i was told that maybe it was a synchro that busted loose and got jammed in there. so i am going to take my consul apart so i can take a better look at the trany.

but i want to start looking for a new transmission too. the trany has to come out if i rebuild the one i have or if replace it so im thinking of replacing it.

so finally to my question what is the stock 5 speed manual trany from a 84 camaro v8 and is there any other transmissions that will bolt into place without modifying other things. or was the same transmission used in other cars.


also will a stock transmission work with a 350 that i may swap in later.

yes. if you are going manual trans then the t-56 from an lt1 camaro would be a good choice. but it takes some modification. if you are going automatic then a rebuilt 700r4 would do good. maybe get some strengthening done to be sure it wont blow out the bottom. but it shouldnt
