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.

any and all info would be appreciated!

That's the 440T4/4T60 4-speed automatic?

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 want to do that swap as well. because of the advantage the 4th gear has. more fuel economy!
BUT I'm lazy and don't want to fab the mounts up...

I'll let him know! thanks!

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.

Jim

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
