I have a friend swapping in an auto 4spd and he's wondering if there is a source for a premade axle to fit the fiero. the trans came out of a Cadillac, and he has the axles that came with it, along with the original fiero axles from his 125.
he doesn't want to cut/weld anything, IF there is no source for something premade, hes okay with mixing/matching parts from different axles to get this baby installed. we just need info to get started.
Axle assemblies for a 1989 Pontiac 6000 (with 2.8 V6, 4T60 and light duty brakes w/o ABS) fit out-of-the-box.
Part numbers A1 CARDONE PN 601078 - LEFT side drive axle (21-inches long overall) A1 CARDONE PN 601115 - RIGHT side drive axle (26.25-inches long overall)

I just bought an 86SE with a 3400 conversion done. I was told the transmission was the 4T60 but it doesn't shift into 4th. How can I identify which auto I am running? I typically never buy autos so forgive my ignorance.

I think it's stamped into the bottom oil pan. Have a look underneath. Not shifting into 4th may simply be because the shifter mechanism or cable is not giving proper movement at the trans end (one gear off?)
I am doing this swap, but haven't gotten to mounts yet, but I have been told I use the fiero mounts and only have to drill new mount holes in the cradle. I will report when I find out, or maybe someone else can confirm.

If it uses fiero trans mounts then everything should just bolt right up. and maybe redrilling new holes because??? (waiting on a confirmation)

The mounts connect to the 4T60 tran without drilling, but you have to redrill holes in the cradle. Thats where they don't line up, or at least I'm told.

Edit: I'm hoping to know more tomorrow. If the rain holds out, I'll be trying to at least put my 4T40 on the cradle
