General Fiero Discussion / Greetings...and I need help.
« on: March 12, 2019, 04:54:15 pm »
Howdy all. I recently got back into the Fiero World with the purchase of a 1988 Formula. Put some new tires on it and took it for a spin around the neighborhood and all seemed good though there was a burnt smell (ominous prelude). Next morning (today) I decide to take the car into work for the 1st time. didn't make it. Clutch no workie. Clutch pedal still feels normal but no engagement with the clutch/disk. I haven't totally deep-dived into what the issue is but the smell of burnt clutch leads me to believe I might need a new one. I just don't have the time/patience/skill(?) for this right now. I have 3 other cars in various modes of repair and I sold the wife (wonderful and lovely woman) on the fact that this car would not be another issue. Well, I was wrong and I really just want this back on the road so I can drive it around from time to time. So, I really am hoping you could lead me to a fiero knowledgeable mechanic in GA or even SC (where I live).
More about the new guy: Originally from NJ and had a friend in who owned an 1984 Fiero that actually caught fire and burned into a small art piece of metal and plastic in 1988 or 89. Pontiac/GM/Insurance gave him a brand new 88 GT that he had until the day he died. I always kidded him about the car but secretly wanted one but I was of the mind-set that "real" cars had v-8s. I'm much more mature now and can finally come out of the closet regarding my Fiero fetish. I am a Pontiac guy at heart and own 3 others. I also like motorcycles. I served in the Army for 22 years and retired in Sumter, SC where I now work for the Air Force. I joined this club so I could meet more Fiero folks and discuss Fiero things. I am somewhat embarrassed that this is my first post asking for help. Thanks for having me and I look forward to seeing some of you on the road at some time.
