My business is for sale:
I have not found anyone to take over my business. So:
We built a home in Denver. A 55+ community. We have had it for two years now. We go there for a week every two months or so. But we are not happy there. The lot size is minuscule and I only have a smallish 3 car garage. So we are selling it and looking for a different home in the Denver area. An existing home. We do not want to go thru a new build again. We both want a larger yard and most important is I want more garage space. All my life I have been a garage person and I like to make things etc. Ideally we will find a home where I can add on to the existing garage or put in an additional garage. So my plan now is to take my business to Denver. But: I am not making much of anything anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will probably just sell out my existing stock and as I run out of things discontinue them. Hopefully this all happens in 2024. Once we start moving out of our home here in Wi there will be a few/several months when I will not be able to sell anything.

New design!
Rebuild kit for the Pontiac Fiero 4 speed shifters
The Fiero 4 speed shifter is a very well built and long lasting shifter assembly. The only area where there may be some wear is the low quality OEM plastic pivot bushings. Replace these OEM plastic bushings with new high quality precision plastic bushings to eliminate any looseness. The kit consists of 2 precision high quality plastic bushings, new precision ground center tube and shims. Remove the low grade factory OEM plastic bushings and install these new precision bushings. Shim as needed to remove all the looseness and enjoy a shifter that will be tighter than when your Fiero was new!
In the picture below the brass shims are for shimming the new plastic bushings. The stainless steel shims are for shimming the shifter arm shaft (where your shifter arm mounts on) removing any looseness in the shifter arm.
This is my new design 4 speed shifter rebuild kit. In the past I machined special brass bushings. They were very thin wall and terribly easy to break and certainly were hard to machine. This new design is far superior to my old design.

NOTE: A common problem is the detent roller gets tight on the select arm. This makes it hard to move the shifter to the left to get in reverse. Some oil will help a lot here. I have a rebuild kit for this. Click here.
Here is another item that will also help reduce the play in the shifter:
SHIPPING NOTE:
I do not offer free shipping.
Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation
When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.
Shipping: Shipping in the USA via First Class Mail is $7.00
Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
Shipping to areas outside of the USA: Generally I ship postal air first class mail. Shipping varies depending on what country they are going to. It ranges from $11.50 to Canada to $18 or more to Australia etc.
