I've also heard that the polarity of some of the motors is reversed, requiring a repinning or cutting and splicing the wires.

Hmmm.  Mine plugged up, but I never tested them.

When I drove my Fiero, this past weekend, I went through Crovette Country.  At an intersection, I passed 4 Corvettes at a stopsign.  All 4 followed me for a while, but at another intersection, they went left, and I went right.  Later, I caught up to more Corvettes.  I did try to takea pic of the 4 Corvettes following me, but the road was not cooperative, and the picture is all messed up.

The rumor is confirmed: that GTRS guy does have a Fiero.

The left axle is rather wobbly.  The right axle is fairly tight, but we'll see after it's out.

You may recall that the left axle boot was torn, a while back.  The axle was removed, the joint was packed with grease, and the boot replaced.  Apparently, the damage was done.

Here is a pic of the new axles.  I hope they're the correct axles.



There certainly are some differences between the two axles.

The tri-pot end of the shorter one doesn't look right. I'm just going by memory, but when I changed the transmission on my yellow car, I'm pretty sure that both axles had splines on that end.

I was afraid you were going to say that.   :(

Do you know which part you used?

I'm not sure what you mean. I replaced the transmission, and re-used the existing axles.

Going by the part numbers and pics in the thread below (as well as other threads), it seems the axle may be correct.

Is your white Fiero back on the road, then?

I was referring to the transmission replacement in my yellow car. See this thread.

Now I'm really confused.  My transmission is a 4T60 auto.  Buzz has a 5zspeed manual.  The white Fiero has a 4T60E, which is similar to mine, but longer.  Yes, my bad thinking you had to get another axle.

I was thinking that auto and manual axles can't be that different. Maybe they are, and the driver side is different.

Dunno about the ends.  I was expecting splines on both.
