RobertISaar Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 has anyone gotten either a custom fifth gear made to get more top end out of the motor, or a numericlly lower final gear for a 282? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyd Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 There aren't many options, but the Fiero 282 has a lower 5th & final drive than the W-body version. You might be able to use one of those instead, or transplant some gears from the newer Getrags of the mid-90's. Check out this page for more info on the comparative gearing. http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000001/HTML/20031110-2-036597.html Dave Resident Fiero & Corvette expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 i think thats the page that got me on the idea of a higher fifth gear. they didn't seem to have many ways to get higher gears except for custom cut hardware, but a .72 5th gear from a fiero might work for what i'm doing.
