If anyone here knows where I can get one I need a fiero getrag slave arm. The one on my fwd trani is too short.

I already asked Matt, he doesn't have one available.

Rodney Dickman said so, he wanted $65 for a new arm so I'm going to try and find a used one somewhere.

when you say arm what do you mean? Is that the part the slave rod fits into?

Thanks, I will call him and see if he has one. Its got to be cheaper than a modified isuzu arm for $65

Dude, just make your own bracket to mount the slave to fit that arm. You just need a flat piece of metal and something to space the slave further back away from the arm because it'll end up too close if you just have it bolted to a flat piece of 1/4" steel. You could just stack another piece of steel where it mounts; then maybe you dont even have to brace it further to keep it from bending. I made a bracket with a drill, sawzall, and welder. Nothing fancy, works great.
You might run into other interference problems if you put the longer arm on there, dont you think?

I'd rather buy a factory arm so I know its good instead of making something that will most likely fail. Will had clearance issues with the longer arm, had to shave some of the cup off?
