Well I'm getting closer and closer to doing my swap every day. I'm going with a Izusu 5-speed trans in my little car so CLUTCH TIME. 8 1/2 is way too small, 9 1/8 is better. how about 9 11/16? I'm thinking about useing a 9 11/16 1x14 disc out of q 83/84 camaro. 2.8 5-speed and a 94 3.4 pressure plate out of a camaro? any thoughts ?-B-

bump. I guess no one has thought about this set up-B-.

What I and many others have done is use a cavalier Z-24 flywheel and matching clutch. Holds up just fine and are cheap to replace. Remember when you use another clutch you have to use an isuzu 5 speed throwout bearing.

Bubbajoe, the grandfather of this swap uses cav clutches, and stevenrossi also uses one with no problems.

Hope this helps

just trying to get more meat against the flywheel. thats all.-B-

I am using the stock fiero V6 clutch with my 4 spd. I believe its 9 1/8.

the 9 1/8 is listed as a 232 mm disc (S stock fiero). the 9 11/16 is listed as a 246 mm disc (83/84 camaro v-6 5-speed) should hold better than the stock fiero. will let everyone know how it works out.-B-

I'll second the Cav clutch as thats what I used as well. Either go with the 170$ cav clutch or go with the 400$ Archie kevlar clutch. I'm happy with the cavelier clutch and it holds great.

We used a clutch from the Fiero Store the 86-88 5spd 9 3/4" HD CLUTCH KIT. It has given us no problems. We used a flywheel from a Beretta that we had plugged and redrilled to fit the 4.9. We are using a 5 Speed Getrag tranny though. As was mentioned before make sure you get the correct throw out bearing.
Good Luck
