Anyone know if the syncros and blocking rings are adjustable or not?
The blocking ring/cones/synchros/gears are NOT adjustable. The blockers and cones wear over time and there are specific clearances when they must be replaced.

The main shaft and counter (cluster) shafts are preloaded for 0.002" per GM manual. This is so when the transmission warms up, there will be 0.00" clearance.

I have yet to get a Camaro in so I can go through it. When I do, I'll have a lot of pictures to post!
