My 94Z w/lt1 6 speed (all stock) bucks and sputters at low rpms in first geer. I had the distributer replaced once at about 60K or so and that solved the problem for a long time....now with 133,00 k, the problem has started up again. Also, any advice on a now wobly front suspension and steering that seems to take a little bit too much effort to turn the wheel? Might I also add that the reverse synchro is shot. Other than selling it ( I am original owner) any advice? Joe

Sounds like it's time for a new OPTI.

Check the rag joint. This is the thing that looks kind of like a U joint on the steering shaft under the hood.
"Might I also add that the reverse synchro is shot."
Reverse doesn't have a synchro. As transmissions get older, the bearings get a little stiffer. Try putting it in first then reverse. This will stop the idler shaft from spinning and allow it to go into reverse without grinding.

That's news to me. But if you put it in first then reverse it won't grind.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

that was from a GM website that had tech data on the T56...
The T5 also had a synchroed reverse after 91 or 92...maybe it was 93, but I know it was one of those....
Yeah, do the forward reverse thing and it won't grind
