That matches what I found on two other sites. It will bolt right up, all I need is a custom flywheel or to modify and rebalance one off a 3.8L F body

I could use the Getrag and still might. But I just like the idea of having 6 speeds, htese trannys are also showing up everwhere cheap. I can pick one up on Ebay for $500.

A buddy of mine turbo charged his. He had the parts in his tranny cryo-treated and hasn't had a lick of trouble that I know of. I saw him lay down 511-ft lbs. at the wheels. Hope this helps.

Go over to Fiero.nl and search till your eyes fall out. You will find anything and everything over there on swapping a 3800SC into a Fiero.

Skip the G6 trans as it has not been proven to be any better than the stock Getrag on the 3800. If you are going for the numbers you listed then stick with the 65E that came with the 3800SC. If you decide to go with the G6 then Spec makes a clutch that will bolt up to a stock RWD 3800 flywheel. There was a guy that put a G6 in to a GP and had Spec find him the clutch. I have done 3 3800SC swaps into Fiero and working on a 4rth now. Here is my current daily driver:




Like the post above me asid--Skip the SC and go str8 Turbo and make some real HP with alot less MODs. You can do a DIY turbo setup for the Fiero cheap but making it a rear mount setup. I don't check this sight often so if you have any qiestion them E-mail me at stephen_poe@hotmail.com
