Congratulations on your choice and good luck with the work.  This thread is here to help people thinking about the northstar/manual conversion.

Update on the Fiero coolant temperature gage mounting location.  I finally got around to checking it and I did mount it in the EGR system.
It’s on this page:

Instead of relocating it, you could always just tee off the TB coolant line, and run it through the egr passage....  Just a thought.

I’m sure it’s in here somewhere, but CHRFab
www.chrfab.com

Expenseve though, something like $1300 with wiring harness and cables.

Hi Rob, are you looking for a V6 Shortstar? I have one or two kicking around that I'm not going to use anymore.

Aaron, what clutch did you use? I know you got the steel flywheel from CHRFab, but why did you not select a McLeod clutch that Alan also has available. I am sourcing the flywheel and clutch assembly for my 4.6/88GT and am undecided on the Spec stage II, Spec stage III or a McLeod from Alan. (I also bought the C950 from Alan)

I used a Ram HD clutch for one reason.  It is totally drivable.  It drives like a stock clutch but has a much harder clutch feel.  I wanted my car to be drivable in traffic.

Next time I change my clutch I’m going to try the Spec flywheel and stage 3K (now that they have one that’s streetable) clutch so that I can compare and report.

As far as I know Alan’s McLeod clutch is for the S10 (truck) transmission that he uses and I wasn’t sure it would work with the Getrag 282 transmission.  I didn’t want to gamble with it.  Maybe it will work, I didn’t even look into it only because I don’t know anything about McLeod.

Make sure, if you are going to get your flywheel from Alan that it’s the one for the Fiero and not the one for the S10.

I have the Spec Aluminum Flywheel and the spec Stage 3 clutch. The swap is all done , just need the suspension on. I beleive I am the first to use the Spec flywheel on a northstar thus far... The flywheel is really nice , but pricey @ $400 + shipping Plus Brokerage fees. IT was close to $1000 for the Combo clutch and flywheel.

I drove it all summer, it’s a wild ride.  Lots of power, handles well, it’s a good combination, but hard to explain.  I’ll have another video in the spring after the snow is gone.  I need to put the car on a serious diet though.  Going to try and get it down to 2400 lb.
