I have a hard time believing that this is an old issue, with as many problems as some are experiencing. These six speeds seem to have problems across the board regardless of which vehicle they're in. Something just doesn't sound right to me having problems with Transmissions, clutches and axels. Just maybe putting somewhat inferior parts are cost cutting measures. We may not have had the horsepower in the 60's that are in these cars, but they were heavier and had more mass to move with nowhere near the problems. Snapping and twisting drive shaft, yes, but not like this.

The 93-97 fbodies had different slave cylinders that didnt go all the way to the throwout bearing. They were traditional fork style.
Id bet most of the people not experiencing this problem are still running mostly stock. I noticed it big time on my 98 when I installed headers.
Anyways, its a good indicator of all the newb, johnny come lately camaro owners this gen....lol. Just like ones that think a cai is going to give you 40hp ect ect.
But, I agree enough with the sticking clutch threads already.
