Were there any '93's built with an LT1 and a 5-speed? I have never heard of it, but someone is saying that GM built a few, and that they drove one... Has anyone ever heard of this.

 

nope

Never heard of that. I'm pretty certain 5 spds were all 6 cyl. in all 4th generations.

 

They had a 6 speed but i think it had a different gear ratio than 94 and ups did.

 

No 5 speed here, I have a 93. The only 4th gens that came with a 5 speed are the sixers.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the 93 LT1's came with 2 versions of the six speed tranny. One which was mated to the 3.23 gear ratio option. The other (which I have) was mated to the 2.73 back axle.

 

yes that is correct, one was designated the m29 which got the 3.23s, I forget what the other one was.

 

Off the top of my head i was thinking m23 but i definitely could be wrong on that one. You just gotta love those 93's

 

LoL, I wouldn't trade mine for the world. I had a 97z28 before and never liked it half as much as my 93. Theres just something about them, ask other 93 owners they know what I'm talking about

 

93 got a close ratio trans, 94+ didn't.

 

didn't 93 still use the ZF 6spd?

 

Ha Ha....I know what you are saying Stikshift93. They definitely are a unique car. Sometimes I think they should add a seperate power plant specific board the board: 93 LT1 Tech

 

93's were the tremac and 94+ are borg warner, correct me if i'm wrong?

 

93's are Borg and Warners.

 

I'm sure its possible, if GM were testing transmissions, that he got to drove one. Factory built and sold to the public, you have your answer here.

GM has made a lot of things, we don't know about.

Like the 94 Z28 with an LS1 in it for testing for instance....
