The clutch is hydraulic.

I expect what your looking for is longer shift cables??

not sure what you are asking?
as mentioned - Fiero uses hydraulics. do you need to extend that hydraulic line for a stretched chassis?
or, has the hydraulic system been replaced by a cable system? if so change it back to hydraulic - you'll be much happier

You probably have to have a set made up. Rodney Dickman may be able to help you www.rodneydickman.com

I used some longer cables I got at a boat store. The ones I got were for steering on auto engined jet boats. I had them on a Lambo Diablo kit. Just need to figure length you need and how to modify ends. (ingenuity).

Guess it is different on other displays. It is perfectly in the center of HOME on my screen. Go figure.

Hey it worked. I just tried using MyFiero.com images hosting for the first time, so I am surprised!

If you only need a few inches the 84 Fiero 4 speed cables were longer and the shifter is shorter, I have used them on a few FWD 5 speed conversions.
If they are not long enough go with Rodney Dickmans cables they are the best around. Dan

skuzzbomer and Khw, this is interesting.
I'm only guessing it has something to do with screen size/ratio, and or resolution settings.
Here I thought it would be cool to have the arrow pointing to the button, and it backfired.
I did notice once on a neighbors computer with a 23 inch widescreen monitor, that I can see the whole top of the forum header, with a message from Cliff that I never even knew was there. Guys with the wide screens would know what I am talking about. Something about, "You don't really have a wide screen, you just wanted to see if there was something over here", or something to that effect.
