Has anyone here done an L67/F23 swap before? I'm trying to
get an idea of what all I'll need. I'm pretty sure I need a HTOB spacer, but I'm not sure how thick. What can I use for axles? |

I've done it, I think I have the build thread on here too, I'll check later.
Stock Fiero axles from a manual trans will work fine. You will need to make mounts for the transmission, f23 has completely different mount points. I think there's a way to make stock shift cables work, one will work anyway, one should be longer, forget which one. You'll also need a custom shifter bracket on the trans. Adapter for the clutch lines. You can make one, or there are a couple online you can buy. From what I can see, HTOB spacer depends on clutch model. Looks like if you don't need to clearance the diff bump in the bellhousing, you will need a spacer. I've only ever seen people use 1/4" ones. Spec sells them. I did not need a spacer with my clutchnet clutch, but dd have to grind away some of the bellhousing to make it fit. |

Does it matter which stock manual axles I use? I can't
remember if they were different between transmissions. Do you remember which clutch you got? How do you like it? |

I believe all axles are the same for manual fieros.
I got the stage 2 I think, the one they have listed for an 88 5 speed v6, rates for 310 torque. I'm quite happy with it, it's quite smooth and has no problems holding the power. |
