Geez, I get it! :D Not ONE of my books mentions anything about 6 speeds available only with the LT4. Oh well, live and learn. But why would certification have been such a big deal with the LT1 when it was certified for the previous 4 years?

First year of OBDII required brand new certification for evey combo. As a result GM dropped the ZR1 a year early. Since both the LT1/auto trans and the LT4/ZF6 each have to be certified, GM made those the only two combos available.

See page 110 of the 2003 Black Book.
"LT1 engines were mated to only automatic transmissions....."
This is for the '96, of course.

Interesting discourse. ....
Lots of urban legends in the world of Corvettes, eh?
