That looks like it would serve your needs and work much better than the one you were originally considering. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

No new posts today, so I thought I'd do one.

Everyone must be Christmas shopping.

I need a video on how to install the door lock switches on an 86 Fiero GT.

Are you adding power switches to a Fiero that did not have them?

All Fieros should have the manual locks.

No I lost the keys to the doors and the rear deck lid and i am having to replace them. I have already replaced the ignition switch.

So, not the switch, but the outer lock itself.

I found out the best way to change out the door locks on an 86 GT is from the inside of the door instead of the outside, so  I am half way there now.

I thought you had already replaced the locks, per your post above.

I have all new keys to my Fiero now and it's parked back at my house and back in perfect running condition. Along with new tires,

I saw him using the clutch.  Also, he left his foot riding the clutch.

He used the clutch to get rolling, otherwise his foot was in the floor. That how automatic semis work, you use the clutch to get rolling then the computer takes over. That looked like a very complicated system

He used his foot later, and left his foot on the clutch.

I am familiar with driving several different manual transmissions.  I have driven the standard H, the 3-speed, 4 on the tree, 3 on the tree, hydraullic clutch, slap shift, a 2-speed, a 10-speed dual-shift, a 3 inline on the floor, several pseudo manuals, as well as commercial vehicles with a 2-speed rear end. I'm sure there are others I've driven.

Leaving one's foot on the clutch or hand on the shifter is generally bad.  Of course, for applications where the engine and transmission will be rebuilt every few hundred miles, you may get away with it.

This wouldn't fill Robbie's requirements.   This is for the gearshift.  He can operate the shifter but he needs something to operate the clutch.  A previous device he found that used an attachment on the shifter to engage and disengage the clutch looked to be the answer.

That's what I thought, but he posted this.
