Had i bit of luck with the Camaro as i managed to find a new 5 speed manual gearbox:driving:its a close ratio box rated at 600lb torque and i should be able to pick it up next week . Its brand new still in the packaging iam well pleased , plus i dont have to pay VAT so iam double pleased as that saved me

My new 5 speed gearbox for the Camaro arrived today that i been promising myself for the past 3 years and iam a happy chappie . I going to work out what other bits i need to fit the box and should hopefully plonk it in about March . Its been sitting boxed up in someones garage for a while and never fitted . I like the liberal use of mastic on the top covers but i will clean that up and make some gaskets , Tremec,s QC can be questionable . Pete:Chevy_anim:

Nice Pete, must be very rare to be able to buy a new old stock gearbox!

Hi Daniel , yes i just found it on good old ebay and theres usually old auto boxes and 4 speeds on there , so i was surprised to find a 5 speed still in its box . I could have imported one but the shipping costs + vat double the price so iam glad i waited . Pete
