Auto. it was 2001 the 5.3 ltre. I am not 100% sure but I don't think they offered MTX on the 5.3.
I just look it up and your right. In fact, every top option V8 offered in 1500 models in all brands domestic and foreign don't have a manual option. Why do they do this?
I thought it would be an automatic. No offense Caprice SS, but I have had lots of problems with GM, including their transmissions. Did you flush your transmission fluid when it was suggested?
