Mn6 was the regular everyday standard transmission (4T65E)
I believe the Z51 option with different gearing was MZ6
You have AQ9 listed in your options as the sport seats

[QUOTE=Murray Anderson;1594818532]Mn6 was the regular everyday standard transmission (4T65E)
/QUOTE]
MN6 is the base standard transmission. It is not however a 4T65E which is an automatic transmission call out and not for a Corvette. The 4L60E is the automatc tranny for the Corvette. The 4 indicates 4 speed, the T indicates Transverse mount (front wheel drive) L would be Longitudinal mount (rear wheel drive), 65 or 60 is the family of transmission and the E indicates electronically controlled.
The Z06 has an M12 manual transmission which is geared a little more agressively. Not sure about Z51 package. I thought they had the MN6 but had the rear end ratio of a Z06.
I think the R92 indicates the car was ordered with the options by a specific customer vs optioned by GM to be placed on a lot.

MM6 specifies which manual transmission.
*A Z06 would have RPO MN6 & M12

I believe all manual C5's use the same 3.42 rear end. The only difference is the transmission gearing itself. MN6 being LS1 cars, MN12 being LS6 cars.
