    So it just can't have those steps like the one you say hits?

      Ya pretty much. If memory serves the Fiero 4-speed pressure plate is always safe but the 5-speeds are more hit and miss. I could be wrong though it's been awhile since I've checked.

      I'm using a stock 4-speed pressure plate and ACT 6-puck disc with an 8 lb aluminum flywheel and it's surprisingly a very streetable combo.

            With f23? Not trying to be annoying. Just learning so much these last few days. I don't want to leave any question or doubt unanswered. I can't afford to do this twice.

              Yeah pretty much all GM transverse drivetrain clutches use the same spline and even the same pressure plate bolt pattern until you start getting into F35 and F40 stuff.

              I have an F23 in my Fiero.

                Do you recall what brand flywheel you have?

                      Flywheels are ridiculous. That fidanza is $600. Prolly gonna go with stock.

                        Yeah I got mine used and I think I paid $200 shipped. Brand new they typically sell for $3-400 + shipping

                            88 fiero 2.8 flywheel should work fine.

                                I built my own.
