Will simply grinding it back flat excepting a lead on the splines be OK then?

If you have a clearance problem, then yes, that would work.
However, if the end of the shaft was centre-drilled, then you would be cutting that off.
If you ever wish to put the shaft between centers on a lathe, well then you would be SOL.

The Ecotec bellhousing is 3/8" deeper than the "metric" bellhousing. As a result, the Ecotec input shaft is 3/8" longer than the input shaft used with the "metric" bellhousing. When you install the metric bellhousing on the Ecotec XFE transmission, the input shaft then sticks out 3/8" further than the input shaft in the metric transmission.
I think JustinBart just ground down the OD of the interfering snout on the shaft rather than cutting it off completely.

FWIW, the VSS reluctor on a F23 has 29 teeth(at least, the one I took apart does), pulse per mile can then be calculated by multiplying tooth count (29) times revolutions per mile of your tire size, in my case, 780.
780 rev/mile X 29 pulses/rev=22,620 pulses per mile. this should give a decent starting point for speedometer calibration.
Rev/mile for your tire size can be found here:

Are there still basket and cable support for the F23?
I'm going to start collecting parts for either the F40 or F23. Whichever transmission(s) I find first.
Thank you,
Matthew

To my knowledge, yes. A company called California Push-n-pull (or something akin to that) makes cables, and the non-stock one needed (right length with the appropriate connectors on it) is in their catalog thanks to the efforts of Emc209i. If you call them up and let them know you need shift cables for an F23 going into a Fiero, they should know what you're talking about. Back when I got mine, I think it was 110 dollars for the two cables.

I recently put an F23 in a POS Grand AM (The Gran Damn) and since install, I had noticed the trans made lots of undesirable noises, and I had a noise that I had thought was coming from the power steering. today, I dumped the ATF out of the trans and refilled it with Synchromesh, to the 2.6 quarts recommended by the TSB, and the trans is now WAY quieter, and the noise I had thought was coming from the power steering, almost completely went away, it wasn't impossible to induce the noise, but it took way more aggressive driving than it did before.
At this point, I recommend filling F23's with Synchromesh and not ATF, that being said, I only have a couple of miles on the car with it, so I have no long term data, and any long term data might not be valid, because the transmission wasn't rebuilt, and could have some preexisting problems, so a failure at this point doesn't mean it's the Synchromesh either. ------------------

I invited Lou Dias to trash me in my own thread, he refused. sorry. if he trashes your thread going after me. I tried.
