GM does not use ATF in their manual transmissions in the Camaro or Corvette at this time. They use a specific syncromesh manual transmission fluid.

Personally the Royal Purple Syncromax fluid works great in these transmissions, shifting feel is greatly improved over the OEM fluid especially at really low temps.
