Sorry, but the Fiero only had 2 safety recalls in it's entire history and the second one wasn't issued until May 1990. The shift linkages are adjustable cables. The Fieros were NOT a result of firewall insulation. It was only the 1984 models that had weak rods which could break under abuse and crack the block, spilling oil on a hot catalytic converter. Out of 130,000+ cars sold in 1984, Only about 2% actually had the problem.
I highly doubt you were a Pontiac mechanic in the 80's. You are just typing out what rumors you've heard, which are inaccurate.
