This not so rare but difficult to find part will have a cost set by the seller. Because these change hands so rarely you will just have to make a deal.
It's 15 pounds for the former, and 17 pounds for the latter.
The clutch hydraulics have a problem is the most likely issue
Either clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder
No but unless you have a professional trans shop with tools it is easier, and most trans shops drop the engine due to the hassle doing it the other way takes
It depends on what Fiero SE you own. There are two types. The earlier SE models, '84-'86, used a 85 mph speedometer for the four cylinder engine. It would not be until the '87 V6 model that the SE cars received the 120 mph "GT", as it's called, speedometer assembly.
If you already have a 120 mph speedometer in your Fiero SE, it will work just fine. If it's the 85 mph speedometer, it will not, and would read incorrectly until you perform the necessary modifications to make it act like a 120 mph speedometer should.
It depends what engine it is a V-6 has 130HP until 1987 they had 140HP, the l-4 had 110HP
i 4 had 92-98 hp depending on year v6 had 140 hp all years i believe in 1987 they lowered the rpm's so it looked like it had less so that it would fit in a cheaper car insurance bracket
No, Fiero seats are pretty special to fit in where they are.
I recomend you repair your old with parts from the fiero store.
The THM125 automatic is a good solid piece and can with proper care be used with the V8 engine swap
The original 5 speed manual is similarly strong.
As a refit the 4t60 and 4t60E are good choices for increased fuel economy and strength but require considerable modification to install.

First the engin idles high in the begining till it get to a some what warm position. it is 25 yrs old. then it should idle around 1000 or a little lower. There could be an adjustment made to the timing to advance the problem. I am in the process of doing this myself tomorrow I just had to put in a coolant sensor and that made my engein idle really low and die out. Now that this day has come I had decided to spray carb cleaner into and round the carb. while reavin engine by hand. WOW WHAT A FN different this has solved th problem. mus rember yhis is old car and lots of dirt and mechinizams.... let me say tho this still a progressing process. I must now find out Y the fan now only come on when AC MAX is on. jus started after i put n coolant temp sensor. (but that did clear up dying of engine. So now what? HELP ME
Disconect battery.
Jack up car and Make Safe to work under, You need to work on the front end of the engine from underneath.
Un bolt the starter, Depending on what plant built your engine 9/16 or 15mm bolt heads. Lower it gently to hang on the wires.
Undo the wires, and reverse the process to install the new one.
Depending on the cars options it may be easier to undo the wires before lowering the starter.
All Fieros have the same 5 X 100mm Bolt patern
Many Front drive GM into the mid 1990s use this pattern
Many european cars use this pattern, Notably BMW
Many SUbarus use the same pattern and almost identical offset. I have a set of aftermarket 17" Wheels off a Subaru on my Fiero
How much modifying do you want to do?
Inside the alternator
Engine coolant fluid? Engine oil? Transmission oil? Brake fluid? Power steering fluid?
Physically, yes. GM's drivetrain are highly swapable. But there can be lots of differences. I'm assuming you are pulling "x" tranny out of an 84 to put in a 87 that had "x" tranny. Not pulling an "x" tranny out of an 84 to put in an 87 that had a "y" tranny.
The devil's in the details. Flywheels might not be the same. Most auto part places have the info and will glad to help.
Then it doesn't lock.
By trunk are you referring to the engine compartment or the front of the car where the spare tire is located? There is no key to open the front (trunk) compartment. This is done using a lever located under the dash next to the drivers door. The notchback or engine compartment has a key lock. Some models have a button on upper right of the gauges.
Realistically, any engine can be used in a Fiero... All you need is time and money.
It'd probably be a lot easier to do a Caddy 4.9 V8 swap - you can get the parts from V8 Archie through his website, or just take the car to him and have him do it (more expensive, though, it's professionally done)
If you have an automatic transmission, it is equiped with a "lock-up" torque converter. In normal operation, when you reach about 28-30 mph, the converter goes into lock up. The engine RPM will drop about 200 RPM if you maintain speed above 30 mph. But then a slight change in speed will cause the converter to unlock. Many mechanics solved the problem by disconnecting it. The trade off was a little less fuel milage, but the customer was happy. To test this out, drive at about 35 mph. While your foot is still on the gas touch the brake slightly with your left foot. you should feel the converter come out of lock up.
bad spark plug wires recommend you spray water and listen or if you do it at night you will see the plug wires break down the car will start missing when you spray them down
my 88 fiero had two valves stuck, one on cyl 2 and one on cyl 3.. if it would start it was on one or two cyl... or he crank senor might be bad
if its slipping it may be going out or just needs a full trany service. you can get all the stuff at napa
