oh yeah almost forgot i have a 1986 2.8 v6 5spd manual fiero

no.

ok

86 getrag?

Isnt this suppose to be a really rare car?

No, If I recall, he got the car and the previous owner has a later model fwd barrettaor cavalqueer getrag in there that is having problems.

!@#%!$#@% i found out recently mine isnot a getrag!!! it had the 5spd manual dash plate w 4spd tranny...i couldnt tell it is a 4spd cuz it dont even shift totally locked up...so now im back to square 1....what car has a compatable 4spd or should i upgrade to 5spd? what if any mods would i have to do for 5spd?....srry for the late response..ive been busy and i havent touched my carr untill yesterday when i moved it to my house

Grab a 4 speed muncie out of a Fiero, the 5 speed is prefered , check Rodneys site for compatibility www.rodneydickman.com are you checking the mall section here on the forum, post a wtb ad, I can`t remember what your doing to the car, not sure if this helped any or not, just going on whats posted. This may help too. http://car-part.com/

what i want to do is replace my tranny...id prefer installing a 5spd rather than a 4spd....which would be better...i love to roast the tires an hotrod lol...most of my car is all modified to do so but the tranny...which is garbage...where i live you see fieros rarely..well i do anyways so getting my hands on another fiero tranny let alone one that works is slim to none..so i need to kno what is a suitable replacement..and i have no way to go long distance to pick up a tranny so the mall is out of the question

You need a list of fwd getrags that will fit your Fiero, then the conversion kit from Rodney to change it over, have you tried the local salvage yards for a later model getrag?

i dont think rodney has anything for FWD getrags over 1990 or so. this 2001 tranny will bolt up to your engine, but you need custom linkages, and mounts (not to dificult if you have some skill with fabrication work).

Anyone know what the transmission in that ebay auction is? It has the FWD bolt pattern but doesn't look like a 282 or Isuzu.

Tiger auto salvage has 2 fieros out back, 84/85's unknown trans.

Flint auto salvage had a 4speed a few weeks ago, doubt its there anymore.

Check with renos, or maybe even genesee. The phonebook is your friend.

OK THANKS ALOT DARKHORIZON...the only place i knew had fieros was monster an they nolonger sell parts they just scrap the cars which means the 5 fieros they had are sitting there doomed to the scrap heap

........bump....bu.bu.bu.bu.bu.bu.bump

well since no one told me what trans will work in my fiero i went in search of one from a fiero....i go to a junkyard and they sed an 85 thru 87 trans out of a cavalier, beretta, an some car that starts w a f will work in my car....the trans are the same so the computer said.... so i said ok great...i buy one for 200 its sealed in some vaccume sealed sht so i couldnt tell if it would work i get it home and out and wtf this pos is not going to work for my car and the place does not do refunds so thanks a f***ing lot....idk wtf to do the shift mech is in a different position idk where to mount my slave cylinder since my fiero mount would be totaly on the opposite side of the trans due to the fact that shift linkage is over there.....i do not have the resources to fab sht up to make this work so this is basically 200 dollars down the shtter now i have no $$ for another trans cus i saved up for 3 months doin odd jobs to get this trans...wtf do i do now?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!??!!??!!??!??!??!?!? i was planning to have this done this weekend to make my car driveable do i can get a job....idk how im gonna get pics on here cuz o my old ass digital camera is gay and wont work with my new computer

Did you try to ask the salvage yard for a swap--instead of a refund--they don`t like to give $$$ back--but they will swap for something else they have or can locate, even if its for a little more $$$ it would save a heck of alot of work tearing apart 2 transmissions....

they dont hav any fiero transmissions i need to know exactly what will bolt in to replace my 4spd with no modifications asap

What is actually broken on your orginal fiero trans?

ok my original trans idc whats wrong....it is a pita to get into the gears and when you put it in reverse it pops out of reverse and into 1st and when in first it pops into 3rd and when in second pops into 4th and also when 4th pops into neutral so prev owner had to hold shifter constantly into gear.............

The salvage yard should be refunding your money. Most yards that I deal with will not refund you cash if you asked for a certain part, but they will if the part they supplied is not what you asked for. You have them a certain application and they supplied a trans that they said would fit, but since the part they supplied will not work the responsibility is theirs to correct.....either by supplying you with a proper transmission or refunding your money.

Try that first.

Mark

lol where i live ppl are assholes...just ask darkhorizon...iv bet he has had to deal ith renos before with no refunds

bump.......hey...will 4cyl 4spd man trans bolt up to a 6cyl engine?

Yes, they will, but you'll have the shortest first gear ever, I had a 4cyl 4speed with my first 86gt V6, and I had to shift almost as I was taking off.
That is because they came with a 4:10 gear ratio (it helped the duke get off the line, but your V6 got better low-end). There is another 4speed available from the 4cyl cars (is extremelly rear and I believe that only some 84 4cyl cars had it) it has a very low 4th gear (you can do like 70mph at 1500rpms or something like that) good for high way gas miles

JG

only the 84 's came with the 4.10.i live in kincardine ontario canada and i have a 4 speed fom my 86 gt that i know longer use.it worked perfect when i took it out.you can have it for free if you come and get it.i am two hours north of port huron mi on the canadian side of lake huron.not that far from you.

I`m not familuar with the 4 speed mentioned above--but can tell you , if your taching 1500rpms at 70mph , you`ll do fine with that one, my 4 speed Muncie keps me at around 3 grand at 60mph.

sigh.....iv exausted all resources but one...the junkyard trans...its an unknown 4spd it looks exactly like this one
