Default 1986 Convertible Documents ?

Do any of you guys who own 1986 roadsters have the original Manual Transmission Operating Instruction booklet?

Pete, Where did you get this? I've got all my original documentation and I never came across a Manual Transmission Operating Instruction booklet. I never even heard of it!

Well I'm with you, Ray. I too bought my car new and have all the original documentation. However, I just came back from the NCRS National Convention where my Vette was judged for a Top Flight Award by the national NCRS Red Hat judges.

When they were judging my interior and reviewing the OEM glove box documents they asked for the transmission booklet. I said that I did not have one and am sure I never had one. Sooooo, I thought I'd ask you guys.

I have a feeling that they are WRONG on this one. I'll keep you posted as to what I find out. More later....
