For the DRV side you will use a stock auto Fiero DRV side axle and it will be plug/play. For the Pass side axle you will need both donor axles and a outer manuel Fiero hub. You will take all 3 of them and combine them to make one complete axle for the Pass side.

An alterative would be to get two '01 J body (cavalier etc) axels. Both sides are the same, so either. You then need the inner tripots and cups from the donor tranny. You will have to swap the 3 roller bearings (not the needles, just the round things that roll on them) and cups then they will bolt right in. You have to have the engine centered within 1/2" of perfect for these to fit though. Mine was about 1/2" to the right as it turns out, and while they still fit, it was a little close.

The advantage to this is that you will have the larger diameter axels

I find the ones from 92-95 Trans Sport/Lumina vans that had the 4 speed auto. Both sides are the right length just need to swap inners and outers to fit Fiero and tranny being used. Dan

I could come up and make some for ya Casey, I have all the parts to do another set. ( I stocked up on caviler axles, they are working great for me.) Mounts could get to be very fun as you probley wont want to modify much of the stock stuff, but I doubt it would be to hard. I highly suggest dodge mounts they are teh awesome.

BTW, remember you have to go obd2 if you want to use the 4t65e, so I can help with that to!

In my research ,I have found stock axles that interchange!! Got these from O'ReillyAuto Parts : 60-1078 and 60-1115. You may also look up the Cardon Axle website and search it out. Dewey
