I've been looking for a throttle body for my car but it seems like no one has it. I have a manual transmission 2.8L Camaro. I've seen throttle bodies for the automatic trans but not for a manual. Not sure if that makes a difference either. Does anyone know where I can get one or get a rebuild kit?

I believe the throttle bodies are the same. at least they are on TPI cars. I see no reason GM would cast a totally different throttle body for manual cars

I checked on rock auto and they only list auto. I bet they are different, question is what is the difference. could be as simple as 700r4 tv cable linkage

That's what I was imagining, kickdown cable provision. Can you look at your original and compare it to photos on rockauto or other sites?

That could be the only difference. In which case it would still work. you just wouldn't use that slot. I would do what Adam said and check yours against pics from the site. maybe even cross reference the part number. you might find your answer
