I normally ask about my 57 vette. I also have a 1998 Camaro and I suspect the 6 spd manual transmission is the same or like the 1998 corvette transmission.
My problem is that when I first start up the car and begin driving, shifting form 1 thru 4 is okay. However, when I try going to 5th and then from 5th to 6th, I hear some gear grinding. I can double clutch it and it shifts okay. Also, after the car warms up good then I can go through all 6 speeds without problems. I have changed the transmission oil (Dextron II or III) but it still does it. the lower gears never grind. I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and if so how do you fix (or can you fix it?). I am suspecting that there is a slight synchro issue when cold. Is there any additive that can help this situation or has there been a service bulletin that covers this. The car has the 5.7 liter LS-1 engine.
Any help or comments appreciated.
