F23 swap into a 2003 malibu with 3100sfi

So it just can't have those steps like the one you say hits?

Ya pretty much. If memory serves the Fiero 4-speed pressure plate is always safe but the 5-speeds are more hit and miss. I could be wrong though it's been awhile since I've checked.

I'm using a stock 4-speed pressure plate and ACT 6-puck disc with an 8 lb aluminum flywheel and it's surprisingly a very streetable combo.

Stock 4 speed for what motor?

Fiero 2.8 85-86

With f23? Not trying to be annoying. Just learning so much these last few days. I don't want to leave any question or doubt unanswered. I can't afford to do this twice.

Yeah pretty much all GM transverse drivetrain clutches use the same spline and even the same pressure plate bolt pattern until you start getting into F35 and F40 stuff.

I have an F23 in my Fiero.

Do you recall what brand flywheel you have?

Either spec or fidanza

[caffeine]

But you can get a stock one on rock auto for around $40

[Kaos]

Flywheels are ridiculous. That fidanza is $600. Prolly gonna go with stock.

Yeah I got mine used and I think I paid $200 shipped. Brand new they typically sell for $3-400 + shipping

[Kaos]

Yeah. I'm probably gonna go with OEM replacement

Except the flywheel. Does anyone know which one I will need?

88 fiero 2.8 flywheel should work fine.

edit! whoops, clicked what I thought was "view last"... not last...

can I ask how you guys handled the shift linkage? I wana put an f-23 or F40 into my 3500 swap when I move it over to my 88(fiero), clueless on how do do the shift setup...
