Fiero friends,

Can anyone recommend a shop in the San Diego area for transmission work on a Fiero? I'm not sure if it is the transmission or the clutch at this point, but I am leaning toward transmission. I'd like to find a place with some experience with Fiero's, which gets harder and harder every year. I'll appreciate any help anyone can provide. The transmission is a stock Getrag.

You need a place that is familiar with the Getrag 282, and those folks are getting rare, as are some of the parts.

your closest shop is west coast fieros for some one who knows fieros or one of the local club members.

You might talk to Metro Transmission in San Marcos , 1635 grand ave , 760.471.0223. Its near the 78 freeway.
I have not been able to find a fiero shop in north san diego cty (am in carlsbad) but went to Metro as a recommended
shop. I had a clutch noise, I thought, they could have sold me a clutch but found it was the dust cover rubbing.
That was several yrs ago, also had a clutch fluid leak and sticking brake rotor more recently, they seem to be an
honest shop. I have an 87 gt manual shift.

Thanks for the suggestions. I might look into the place in San Marcos. I got a shop recommendation from someone in the local Fiero club and gave them a call. The guy seemed familiar with Fiero's and the Getrag, and estimated roughly $2600 over the phone! For that kind of money I think I might look into upgrading to one of the more modern 6 speeds. I'm going to do some research on mating one of them with the 2.8 before I drop that much money into the Getrag.
