My 328 speedo stoped working yesterday. Dr. Steve, could it be some kind of virus? Ciao Peter | ||

The connectors are probably worn out on most Ferraris from taking them loose so often. | ||

If I didn't know better, and I don't, I would think that this post is instructing people how to disconnect their Ferrari speedometers. | ||

James -- the TR speedometer sensor is mounted (at a bit of an odd angle) in the bottom surface of the gearbox towards the front of the powerplant. It's just inboard from the shift shaft boot and just rearward of the oil filter. With the powerplant in the car it does take some creative wrenching IMO, since the way the casting is designed, a conventional socket can't be used, and you might need to take the oil filter off -- just your typical F project ;). | ||

Hey, Steve Would you mind taking a shot of where it is on the TR? Mine is intermittent, I think the last time my mechanic cleaned the engine, it helped. I like to remove it myself and clean it some more. I will go look for it, however prior posts says you need some crazy offset wrench to get it off. James | ||

Stanley, Where about is it? front or back of the axle? is it mounted sideway where I can see it from underneath the car? | ||

Julian 348 speed sensor is on left side at the back of the engine. You can just unscrew it no fluid will leak out and reinstall new one.... You have to do it from under the car. I did mind it took 5 minutes. | ||

My 348 speedometer was intermittenly working and now has died completely too. The manual indicates that the sender is by the driver side front wheel, is that correct? | ||

Very common problem, get a new sender. Usually they are intermittment for a while, before they completely fail...but I would start with the sender. Wouldn't even bother with trying to clean it, just get a new one, esp. if you can get it for $66!d | ||

It is the speedo sending unit. It sits on top of the Trans by the Diff. It looks like this _ | | | | \ / It is metal and screws in. Tke it off and clean it. If it still gives you trouble, you can buy a new one from allferrariparts.com for $66. Have Fun | ||

328 speedo quit. Does anyone know the likely cause of speedometer failure for this car? I have two shop manuals and a parts book but the speedometer is not covered. I think it is an electronic unit. I have not started to work on it. bernie |
