ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS
Some 1983-84 Camaros equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission may exhibit light gear clash during aggressive shifting maneuvers. This condition
can be recognized by a slight crunch or click noise from the transmission as the next required gear is engaged, the duration of this noise will be very
short, less than one (1) second, with the condition described. The condition primarily occurs during 1-2 upshifts and 3-2 downshifts. To repair this
condition, the transmission will require disassembly and replacement of all synchronizer springs with new P/N 14085893. In addition, the clutching teeth
of each respective speed gear, synchronizer sleeve and blocker ring should be examined for excessive wear or damage and replaced as necessary. The
procedures to be followed for this repair are detailed in the appropriate section of the service manual.
