Huge fan of ProClip. I've bought many as I tend to leave them in my cars when I sell them.
Congrats on your teeth - they were looking a little jaundiced.
Now, if you only drink distilled water you'll make Keeps look like its working. Ask me how I know.
I'll buy that caprice if you still have it. I love that car!
I've been looking for a car like that for years now. Post COVID pricing put it out of my reach forever :(
The only thing missing on that one is the HUD that started in 2011.
Schweppes Ginger Ale in the GLASS BOTTLES. Is bar none the best.
People need to recognize the time and effort that not only goes into working on the car itself, but to set the camera and film every angel that’s usable. We appreciate it Alex! Thank you! 🙏🏽 cause i can imagine how fast you can get the work done without filming everything.
Had a 95 z28 6-speed in grade 12 . Got rear ended by a girl in my class leaving commencement ceremony , it was a total loss . Bought a 99 SS 6-speed with the insurance . Kept that car for about 5 years . Now 22 years later I just bought a low mileage black 1994 z28 6-speed . Finally got to do all the mods I couldn’t afford in high school . It’s nice to be in a 4th gen again .

My money is on someone loaning this to their teen and the teen decided to do some burnout videos with a 1-2 shift and smoked the synchro and gear…
I’d agree but doubt any teen would even know how to get a manual in gear.
@@cheapme1850ahh the lost art of the clutch 😂
Same issue with my ls2 gto. ended up being a cracked 2nd gear syncro. Replaced all of them. Butter smooth afterwards.
And that teen was actually 47 lol
@@cheapme1850 I wouldn't be too confident with that statement. I'm turning 18 in a couple months and I've been daily driving a 06 accord manual since I got my license. While I agree that majority of people my age have little to no clue how to work a manual transmission, it's not all of us.
Early 70's CHRYSLER TRUCKS USED ATF IN 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANNYS...NOISY...I CHANGED IT OUT & REPLACED OIL WITH 75W90 DIFF OIL...QUIET AND NOT ONE SHIFTER PROBLEM....SYNCHROS OPERATED PERFECTLY...
Power tour sticker + smoked tires = torched synchros
Saw that a mile away.😅
My immediate thought as well 🤣🤣 But otherwise a really clean and well maintained car. Well worth putting in some money to fix it.
Yeah I thought "That car has been beaten on constantly!" - but I think it might have just been the last owner who's beaten on it for a short time before f*ck*ng the synchros through incompetent changing and parking it up - given how the clutch still had plenty of beef left in it, the flex discs were in good condition etc. At 40,000 miles if it had been abused constantly I'd have expected more wear.
Owner must have made a real money shift.
😂
The rev-match needed to get into second tells me the same.
I can’t believe no one called out the problem. Alex was granny shifting, not double clutching like he should.
It's not a tractor trailer.

@@dssjr85u right what’s the deal
Red Mustang Cobra-R, Red Nissan GT-R, Red BMW X6, Red Camaro SS... Safe to say, Alex has a penchant red performance oriented vehicles!😂😂😂
Man you're right!!
Don't forget Ruby the red c4 corvette
Because Red means RACINGGG
Red adds 10 horsepower
Red IS the fastest color!
Hey that car was serviced in my neck of the woods in Fayetteville Arkansas, that’s why it’s so clean underneath no rust! Sweet!
I came to make the same comment once he showed the oil change sticker.
Who has ever owned a Camaro or Firebird? I think I'm at 3 Birds and technically 2 Camaros. The 3rd Gen I only had for a week though.
I miss my 87 IROC. looking forward to watching this video
I have a 91 RS, my grandpa bought it new for me, gave it to me in 08 when I turned 16. I have 64K miles on it
I've had a nitrous LS Camaro and a nitrous LT Camaro. Fun cars for cheap
I inherited my dad's 2011 Camaro SS RS when he passed three years ago. Right now it is sitting at 23000 miles. I gave it the Amsoil treatment this year!
I've had an 86 Firebird, 2002 Camaro SS, 1992 Camaro RS, and 1994 Firehawk.
good morning from Australia... One thing that also can cause the crunchy shifts is the pilot bearing in the crankshaft, which looked a bit average in the vid. Another maybe indication is the Haynes manual bookmarked at crankshaft, if that's been replaced then the pilot bearing is probably a different size for auto and manual trans. It could have an auto crank in it with the wrong size pilot they didn't swap out, the input shaft then doesn't run true which presents as crunchy shifts at higher revs. Looking forward to the actual diagnosis, it's a beautiful looking car!
its only the 1 to 2 shift its the syncros on the 1 to 2
When did you see the pilot bearing well enough to judge its condition?
I’ve changed the pilot bearing on an LS3, and I’ll venture that you couldn’t possibly have seen what you think you saw. The best view we get is at 35:22, and what’s visible there is perfect.
Nice it came with slicks on it
Hahaha
Slicks from Temu.😆

@herbiehusker1889 the conquest 55k original miles 15k , the lotus has a Chevy 350 motor 18500, the 93 camaro is modified but the 6 speed is grinding, new clutch 4500
Oh yep, can't wait for the next video on this car, i want to see this trans rebuild ! After all those years, Legit Street Cars is still one of the best car youtube channel out there. Great job, Alex & Max !
Only thing wrong is the 2nd gear synchro. Because it's the gear most failed shift. The 2nd most abused synchro. Low miles lots of new nonowner drivers. There is some case damage that can show the same symptoms but this is missing the other signs. Confidence 90%.
I got a cheaper set of sockets and pressed in my own super strong magnets into them for my own magnet set. I can still use the sockets though they are shallow. Some places it's very handy to have a set of magnet sockets so you don't drop them or have to reach. Reason is I could pull a full GM auto trans and transfer case on the bench in under 40 min. Fastest time is 37min. Fiddling wastes time. This trans should be on the bench on under 15 min. I miss working in the shop. I was disabled a few years back.
Maybe you should teach then if you can't wrench. Don't let the knowledge go to waste 🤜
@@Shiftheads Been told many times I'd be a good teacher. I have a red card chefs ticket, many years in construction and near 20 years in rebuilding transmissions. interesting how the knowledge differences in trades make you a better problem solver. Trouble is by the time you gain the knowledge you are viewed as too old to be useful in any one industry. Add a disability and it's near impossible to find a spot you fit.
Pressure fingers are bent, 2nd gear synchro failure was probably a symptom on this, clutch not fully disengaging
Most of the gm ford and dodge tr6060 transmissions had the same issue. I had mine done under warranty at about 5000 miles. The blocking rings between 1st and 2nd had to be replaced. If you baby it say under 3000 rpm it shifted no problem. Get on the throttle and it grinder every time. Haven't had that issue since and that was done in 2011.
Moisture in the brake fluid does not affect feel or anything related to pressure transfer.
water is just as good for pressure applications as oil (pressure transfer wise). The issue with water (moisture) in brake fluid is:
1, it changes the boil point of the fluid. 2. In cold climates it will freeze/become highly viscous and you can't get flow, 3, will cause rust to form internally
Yeah, by modifying the boiling point of the brake fluid it can cause vapor spots in the line, leading to spongy brake pedal feel and ultimately causing the brake to not engage totally
I’m so elated that someone saw the potential of a 5th generation Camaro. These are great muscle cars. I’ve had a 1993 fox body 5.0 5-speed, a 1987 Buick Regal Turbo-T, 2 fourth gen Camaro SS’s, both 6 speed manuals, and now a 5th generation Camaro ZL1 6 speed manual. Mine too had a 2nd gear grind on when cold. I switched to Amsoil Signature Series and no more grinding and it shifts so smooth, like butter. I’m hooked on your channel now that you got a 5th Gen Camaro manual 6 speed. Please keep this car, put a cam and other boot ons. These are awesome cars! 43:16
I have a 2015 2SS, manual. I bought used with 10k miles, it looked brand new. They didn't do the cols air intake and it was stock, good sign. I have the Ls3 engine. Driving it on highways is so goddam fun. It just roars, that V8 is so damn fun. 4th gear 85mph, up hill it will roar to 100 😊and easily pass any car.. I am wondering 🤔 if 1 to 2 is rough now, I am going to pay more attention. Car has 48k now, should I change transmission fluid?
Be sure to check the crank longitudinal play, you know, because of the page holder in the Haynes…
I watch about 20 different car channels, this and M539 are my favs, keep up the top work Alex
me three!!!
Mine is currently M539 Restorations, LegitStreetCars and Junkyard Digs and a little bit of Rich Rebuilds.
I had similar notchy-ness on my SS. I replace the trans fluid with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF and it fixed it right up.
I find it so amazing that Alex can get as excited as he does to take out a transmission and just dive in and figure out what is wrong with it and fix it DIY style. Boggles my mind. Seeing such a young man take this much interest and expert care of these vehicles he finds and buys that are in "not such great shape" is why I keep coming back for more. He is also awesome at showing what he is doing and explaining what he is doing. Thanks Alex, for all you do for us.
30:26 Those 3.45 diffs are strong and desirable for other auto zeta chassis cars that drag race. I have seen stock ones go 10s and when built properly they can handle 9 second passes. However the ZL1 diffs are stronger. I have made multiple 9 second passes on stock diff driveshaft and axles. 5th gens are great cars.
Cast Iron case dif on the zl1 good for 1000whp+ / stock zl1 axles good for 800whp
My G8 really needs that diff
My issue is the blind spots it feels like you're sitting in a coffin
@@Shiftheadsdon’t forget ac blend door going out 😆
Agree. Put the 3.45 LSD into my Caprice PPV. Should have been this way from the factory.
Alex, I currently live in the area where this car is from! Initially from Chicago, and relocated to north west Arkansas about 3 years ago! From the looks of it, this car was never driven in the winter months.. we have ice / snow (not as much as Chicago), and still use salt; sand; and in rural areas we just scrape the red dirt roads and lay down gravel. GREAT FIND MAN! Keep up the great work!
I’ve always wanted one of these Camaros since the transformers movie came out when I was a kid, they were almost cheap before covid raised the prices back up
Damn i feel old!!!
I watch your channel and am always in awe of your enthusiasm when tearing into something you're not familiar with. I'm always filled with anxiety when faced with something I haven't done before.
Interesting that they use ATF in the manual trans. Double clutching will help get into 2nd if the syncro is going. If you're good at it, there's no grinding
Ford manuals use atf as well
First time im seeing this, very weird
When double clutching you have to match engine speed and vehicle speed to make smooth shifts. Like shifting a semi truck, or a non synchro transmission.
Finally you got a cool car. I’ve had my SS for over 13 1/2 years .
I wager the new trans fluid will not fix transmission and grinding 1-2 gear shifts. I am guessing it is a clutch issue. BTW I was like 958 at 34 minutes after LSC uploaded this Camaro SS video to TH-cam. Love your informative and entertaining videos. I do miss Peter however. I hope he can make some automobile videos too.
It's a clutch issue I got a 2015 ss did the same thing
I had the same iasue in a kia, thought the trans was gonzo, turns out it was a cracked master cylinder
Good Lord ... People still mentioning that dude. LSC and him are over! Accept it!
I got a 15 SS with a manual trans. As well was having the same issues, went ahead & change the trans. Fluid as well as the Diff. Fluid. That seem to help my issue. But love this car, not really to many issues besides that. Now goes into 2nd without issue shift smoothly.
Adult Alex dropping the Driveshaft, 13 year old Alex ohh a machine gun 🤣🤣🤣
To fix the lean code…you need to put a tune on the computer to recognize the cold air intake…that’s you mass air flow problems and lean conditions
37:16 It still amazes me how you can clearly determine the difference between a master technician & novice. The sure amount of information in your head behind the “How & Why” in mechanics is fantastic. I really hope you’re able to pass along this talent and insatiable hunger for knowledge to your children. But hey if it don’t bleed over to them, just know you made at least one other enthusiast happy. Clearly I’m a nobody but appreciate you chief‼️‼️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yooo.. german 5th gen diver here, love seeing this car in your shop.
The two key / two fob situatiuon is because some dude managed to turn off the ignition while driving ... WITH HIS KNEE ... due to this chevy did an official recall on the keys to get the key bit removed from the fob and replaced by these additional keys you have. There is a video on YT where a 2 meter guy managed to pull it off... but he had to move the seat all to the front.. its so silly...
Hey Alex, definitely do the rear main seal on your new acquisition, you are right there,and also a New throw out bearing ?cheap insurance, I have owned a 5th. Gen from New and at 202k miles the throw out bearing finally let go. True story , maybe upgrade to a short throw HURST shifter if you are so inclined, can't wait for your TR6060 Adventure (syncro) it will be a fun watch 👍
I had a 69 Z/28 when I was 21, in 1970-74. After multiple clutch setups to find the right one... and, a lot of time under the car, handling a very heavy Lakewood bellhousing and the M-20 tranny, I had a clutch setup which is still in the car. The M-20 was a tough transmission and thank God it was aluminum and lightweight.
Huge fan from 🇬🇧 your uploads make my weekend. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Never seen an exhaust system come out of a car as easily as yours did. God bless her. Damn you I'm not sure which
That dry and crusty clutch plate and dry main shaft of the transmission is the reason that the syncros gets worn out, because the clutch doesn't disengage properly. And that's why it doesn't grind when you shift slowly 👍
Actually I think there's a very big possibility that the transmission is OK and you just have to fix the clutch...
Didn't these have the same wonky 2nd gear lockout like a C6 Vette.... I know for sure a C6 Z06 had that BS.
@@inverted311
Sorry I wouldn't know. I haven't any specific experience with that.
Just 35++ years of mechanical experience 😉
Wouldnt it grind in the other gears too if that were the case?, very high possibility of bad shifting action from previous owners in a car like this
@felipecabrera5468
Usually the grinding gets less and less the higher the gear and almost not noticeable shifting to the highest gear in my experience
@@kimhdfxstssame here, i was so sure it was a master/slave cylinder
I always do while you're in there when I'm down to that point. Great note for new guys. I'm 76 and been a car guy since my 1st car, 1950 Ford V8 flatty, I changed out heads to merc heads (automatic 10hp). Love cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Ok. I’m at the 15:00 mark when making this comment. We allowed my 17 year old to drive our manual transmission truck to school. After we got it back from him a few years later the truck did exactly what yours is doing. We found out later that he was shifting without using the clutch, because you know, that made it cooler. I’m guessing a teenager drove that car a lot.

Comaro trans issues... by best man had an 69 RS auto that we put an M21 with vertigate in. I had to teach him how to drive manual. He hooked up the linkage wrong so it went 1 2 4 3 ... so that was 1 forward, 2 back, 3 back, then 4 forward. Took him a while before he fixed. good times!! Thanks for the memory.
I have a 240k 5spd on my vw that grinds a lot. I put 1qt of Lucas oil trans fix in it and the rest 75w-90 every 30-40k and it completely removes any grinding
The C.A.G.S .(Computer Aided Gear Selection system) back when I purchase my 1992 Corvette was added mostly to increase gas mileage to avoid the gas guzzler tax reducing the cost of the car. The earlier manual Corvettes didn't have the C.A.G.S . because they didn't have the low end torque and would stall out. It was good in the sense that it saved money when purchasing the car new (reducing MSRP) bad because it was annoying and dangerous in certain driving conditions. It only activated when taking off from a full stop slowly. First thing I eliminated after purchasing my Corvette. It actually activates an relay that pushes a rod into the transmission to physically block the 1 to 2 shift.
That motor swap scam happened to @CleetusMcFarland with Ruby their auction corvette! Someone swapped a 4.8 into it then sent it through the auction! Saw another channel get scammed on a GT mustang, they swapped the coyote for a 4.6 and didn’t even complete the swap. It was sold as non running!
How is getting a coyote a scam 😂
@@cormaro13You didn’t read that correctly
@@sav22rem22 you right I didn’t lol
had an early 2010, 1SS, absolutely loved that car. 70K no issues, traded on 2016- 2SS, another 65K no issues. Solid cars
That was some fancy clutch system animation 👍🏻
Little tip when synchros wear a bit and get grindy and you have ATF fuid in there-Step up to a 10w-30 or 10w-40 motor oil. The thicker fills in the worn space on the syncro and it will work smooth for quite a while plus it's not too thick like gear oil is so that it won't shift when cold.
This is something I never expected

Big diffrence! Tavarish has cars from years ago still not finsihed, and legit got cars done and away every month or so😂
Too late for that, he already has a lot of them! 🤣🤣🤣 But Alex usually just fix cars and send the back out into to the wild.

The GP12 sticker you found is a supplier process control GM requires from suppliers at launch of a new car (or model year) “…GP12 to document the supplier's efforts to gain control of its processes during start-up and acceleration so that any quality issues that may arise are quickly identified and corrected at the supplier's location and not at the GM customer's manufacturing location.” So you probably have an early car.

Dope! I can’t wait to see what you do to it 💪💪💪
Can I just say you have got to have balls of titanium to take apart, fix, then reinstall a transmission. Totally impressed! As a kid I’d take apart everything and attempt to fix, put back together; sometimes with a few pieces leftover.

First time I watched great video watch the Rebuilder on the Camaro transmission
Can t wait for more. I had a 1995 Z28 with the LT1 engine, with the manual 6 speed, greatest Camaro ever.
Hey there Alex. Cannot believe you have been in the auto industry all these years and never internally repaired a manual trans.....yet you pull apart auto trans often....
I'm an 80 year old Australian mechanic, from my apprenticeship days I was doing exchange rebuilds on short blocks, heads, water pumps, transmissions, drive shafts, suspensions, brakes, working alongside senior mechanics and machinists until I got plenty of experience in most operations......Seems modern day is all about electrical and on and off fitting of assemblies....
Looking forward to your follow on video diving into the trans......
I bought my first 5th gen 2ss a few months ago too I’m in the process of fixing the oil pressure issue it has and doing a few upgrades
Wow Alex you are doing better and better! I already love all your videos, but now yoy even explain how things work before doing the job! Wow great work, great content, great editing, you are a great guy, keep it up!
I live in the chicagoland area as well and i wish it wasnt so impossible to find auto techs as honest and as knowledgeable as Alex.
I have few questions:
1. Why did you use ATF fluid instead of 90 grade synthetic gear oil? Usually manual transmission runs on gear oil.
2. Slight Shifter rod bend may cause this problem..
My request, pls try 90 grade oil and check if this issue fixed. Also, show us while postmortem check shifter rod straightness by inspecting them on surface table .. hoping you will honour my request
NO NO NO Lots of manual trans specify An ATF. ATF is still a gear oil too autos have gears and bearings. Years' ago i rang an oil help line, NO internet then, and was informed that the atf i needed was equivalent to a XXw weight gear oil .
Manuals are not too bad to rebuild. I've done a few big Spicer 5 speeds and several Saginaw 3 spds and Muncie 4 spds. Have fun.
Come on, Alex, please don't mix engine oil and brake fluid in the waste container. Recycling of the oil is not possible anymore!
Maybe there is an option on making a great role model as part of the sustainability concept of your channel? 😉
Keep up the vibes in your videos! Always enjoying them! Thanks.
I have a LS3 M6 myself. 2nd gear grind is somewhat common with these cars. I changed out my fluid to a synthetic D4 ATF by redline with good results. Have my 1-4 shift tuned out after cam and headers install.
Excited for the next video on this car! D1SC procharger install would be sick! Wanting to do that on mine, along with E85 conversion
I had a G8 GXP (this drivetrain), and the rear main seal leaked and cooked my clutch at 99k miles. I had a 100k mile warranty, so the seal AND clutch was covered under warranty. I got LUCKY!
1969 Camaros are a dream car for me. Tuxedo Black, white stripes matching black interior. My god I would marry that car!
It's nice to roll the dice and come up winning. I have that trans in my C5. I wish I could pull mine out that easy. The rigid torque tube means you take half the car apart.
In the beginning it showed the bidding was at $13,400, if the motor and tranny were bad that would be a horrible deal.
The transmission is an easy fix New synchros and blockers. Just do all of them all.
As for water in the hydraulic fluid. The water is absorbed by the fluid. The water is fine for temporary hydraulics because water doesn't compress. However, water leads to low boiling points and potentially rust.
Thank you Alex!!! Finally a Camaro!!! And a 5th generation!!! This will be my favorite (of course I have one)!!!
That's a '10 Camaro 2 SS in Crystal Red Tintcoat very beautiful, that color was only available for two years! Only 43,000 miles Wow! Cherry Coke is my favorite!
I have a Pro Clip holder in my Grand Cherokee. It also fits over the left center air vent. It doesn't interfere with the operation of the A/C, and keeps my phone really cool, even on a long trip while using navigation, and while charging the entire time.
As an Aussie i drove a Camaro on honeymoon in Hawaii. It went great but it beggars belief that they started with a 4 door commodore and ended up with this great big meathead car. The Commodore can seat 5 and carry luggage with a big boot. This bloody thing tried to strangle my wife with the seat belt and couldn't take our suitcases. America just get a Commodore already! It's a much, much better car.
Call me crazy, but I run through some cheap brake fluid just to flush the lines and calipers out well, then I install castrol SRF. I wish there was an easy dye to add that was approved for the C8 brake system. Adding dye makes the swap process easy to see when you have removed the cheap flush fluid.
Tips.
Use methylated spirits to do the first flush on brakes or a different lighter colour fluid so you can tell when clean fluid is coming out. If you’re using a vacuum bleeder remove the bleeders and fit a small O ring or thread tape or coat them in brake grease first to prevent air being sucked in instead of fluid being sucked out.
For oil spills us wood or recycled paper kitty litter to soak them up , pour the sweepings on paper roll it into a log and use it to heat the fireplace.
My favourite TH-cam channel by a long shot! It's so relaxing, down to earth and entertaining at the same time. I don't even own a car, I love the mechanics though. I guess I'm learning for some day in the future! Thanks Alex and Max for your awesome work!
At least you can take solace in the fact that you don't have any bullet holes in it. Quite a few of those Chicago auction vehicles come with them
I have the pro clip in my 2018 Camaro ZL1 it’s the best phone holder I’ve had.The Camaro looks great and I think it’s worth fixing 👍🏽
Heyy Alex! Just an idea, that you might like too. When you finish a car, a POV drive section in the video could give us some insight what it's like to drive that car.
Love your videos! Cheers!
I just bought a 2010 2ss 6 speed and was so happy to see this upload.
