Vin code for Manual transmission?
Does anyone know if they distinguished the difference between manual and automatic in the vin? trying to find one for a friend and some dealers on have on their site that it is 6 speed...I've seen on some site they list the autos as 6 speed automatic....

I have seen it discussed in the past.
The 5th digit of VIN is "S" for manual and "J" for auto |

Transmission is not disclosed in the VIN. The engine, however, is....so if you are referring to an automatic - the L99 engine only comes with automatic - and the LS3 only comes with the manual. (......I'm in a hotel for the night and don't have the VIN decoder with me....)
