Thanks, Charles.
I'll know for sure Thursday night, but I am 99% sure the bushing sold by the Fiero Store is the right bushing. I pulled the old one out and, holding it at the same angle as the Fiero Store's picture, they look identical.
The Fiero Store tells me it is a GM original bushing, so I'm cautiously optimistic . . .
Will report back.

Good news - the Fiero Store bushing was the right one. My only complaint with the Fiero Store is that they list this bushing for all 84-88 manual Fieros. Obviously, that is the opposite of true . . . seems like a rare setup that didn't even span an entire model year.
As a cross reference, it is GM part #14094900. Obviously discontinued, but available new on Ebay (it was actually cheaper at the Fiero Store).

That's good news. Although, I personally wouldn't trust it. I've owned other cars with the same type of plastic bushing/retainer (on clutch pedals, shifter cable linkages, etc), and they are notorious for breaking. But thanks to Rodney, there is a solution available if/when it breaks again.

Blacktree, thanks for all the help. If I have any more trouble, and new steel pedal (with a different pin/shaft) might be in order. The other option would be to drill a hole in mine for a cotter pin like the other styles (Rodney suggestion).
Hopefully, I have another 31 years to worry about it  [This message has been edited by USMUCL (edited 05-05-2017).]

So often, I find threads that hit on point for what I need, but there is no apparent resolution. So, closing out here . . .
The plastic bushing didn't last long, as Blacktree predicted. So, I used 7/16" steel e-clips. Since my pedal shaft has a groove in it, the e-clips snapped in nicely and are very snug, very sturdy.
I used two clips to be safe, but one would probably work. I also used washers on either side of the banjo, and I also used the innards of the plastic bushing in the banjo hole. This tightened everything in -- The banjo rotates nicely on the stalk with no unnecessary play, and there is no unnecessary play side-to-side on the shaft. Only enough play to allow free motion as the pedal is depressed and released.
After 1000+ pedal pumps, I am confident this is a good solution . . . and better than the OEM plastic bushing.
See pictures. It looks like there is a gap between the banjo and the inside washer -- but that is where the plastic bushing flanges stick out. Also, the banjo is a different color than my first pictures cause I also found a slow master cylinder leak while I was down there -- switched out to Rodney's.

Extremely useful thread. I have this design and would have been disappointed to spend 70dollars on the fierostore bush only to find out it didn't solve the issue.
Thank you for the detailed description and pics.

Good choice with the e-clips. Those should last for many many years.

The Fiero Store clip is $12.95.....Not $70.....and using those clips you used are great idea.....

cvxjet, PK is in England. That would be the end price after TFS shipping and handling and customs. Georgia Fieros has several members in Europe and Australia, including PK, that need parts. Parts that are inexpensive over here, but cost much much more to have shipped to them. Often, there are no other GM models in their country that use the same part.
Edit: Found GM Part Nr. 14094900 cross references to a 92 Corvette and an 86 Fiero 4-speed. https://www.wholesalegmpart...ukey_product=2695723[This message has been edited by fierofool (edited 06-01-2019).]
