Peter: I had the flywheel machined for 30 Canadians cash. If everything would be that cheap for a TR... Christian | ||

I finally got around to having my flywheel re-surfaced. I had a local machine-shop do it, all for under $50 Cdn. They did a beautiful job, they just removed a hair of material (and in my haste, I forgot to get a "before" measurement, so I don't know how much they took off). Irregardless, all of my timing marks are still clear and legible and the heat-checking and cracks are gone. One step closer to being back on the road! Before:  After:   | ||

Well the operation was a sucess! No more slipage. I made the tool to remove the special nut on the lower gear an it worked like a charm. I resurfaced the flywheel and presure plate, put a new drive disc,throw-out bearing pilot bearing and o-rings. Here are some pictures I hope...don't really know how to do this but I'll try. LUCH | ||

Thanks Herb, you are exactly right. The fit is very important and I do have the equipment to machine one precisely. Thanks for your concern and I'll let you all know how I make out. Hopefully with some pictures. Thanks again, LUCH | ||

I own a set of the tools from Baum and they are well made and fit exactly which can be important for proper torquing. | ||

Great Karl, Now you're all set. | ||

Steve I just talked to G.T. car parts in Phoenix and they are going to fax me the specs on the baum tool. Thanks for the response. LUCH | ||

LUCH -- I believe the 308/328 clutch ring-nut size is 45 mm OD (Baum tools FR102). Go to the link Craig D. provided -- about 1/5 way down click on the highlighted "Special Socket" -- gives info about buying and/or making. | ||

Thanks Magoo, I found the message. It didn't tell the actual size but it's basically a four prong spanner...easy enough to make. Thanks, LUCH By the way a good friend of mine has the same moniker "Magoo" thought that was funny | ||

Karl, Go into the archives and type in various keywords. There were comments on this Re: making the wrench and clutch replacement. I'm not sure where but it is in there. | ||

Does anyone know the size or configuration of the special wrench needed for the lower gear in the transfer case. I'm going to be doing the clutch this weekend and will have to make one. thanks, LUCH | ||

KARL (or anyone else looking for a 308 / 328 clutch): If you're interested, I can sell you a disc & pressure plate set (OEM Borg & Beck) at a very reasonable price -- well below anything else you will find. Email me at [email protected]. | ||

Check out eBay for a 308/328 clutch set. Very low reserve. I think I even bid on it. Maybe it will fit my 348....okay, maybe not! | ||

Steve, according to Keith Bluemel's Original Ferrari V-8 book, the 328's had hydraulic-operated clutches. The rest of the 308's and the Italian-market GTB/S Turbo (of '86-'89) had cable-operated clutches. | ||

LUCH -- a bit late, but here's the other well-known post for 308 clutch work: http://home.att.net/~ferrari/Trans.htm (but Monty's is a better presentation IMHO). You may need some details for your particular year/version/model (e.g., various linkage and/or throw-out bearing adjustments) if your 328 is not hydraulically-operated (someone enlighten me -- which V8s were/are cable and which are hydraulic?). With the hydraulics there�s less adjustment fuss � but it usually makes sense to freshen the (numerous) slave cylinder seals once you�re inside so this is a bit larger project than restoring the cable-driven 308 design (i.e., SPC info/drawings would be a big plus IMHO). | ||

Thanks for the quick response guys. I want to do this quickly as or season for driving in the northeast is very short. Craig thanks for the link, it looks pretty straight forward. I would imagine the 308 and 328 are very similar. Again thanks alot and I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks, LUCH | ||

This procedure is still available: http://www.expensivecar.com/clutch.htm | ||

The only odd tool that I had to make was a socket to remove the ring-nut on the imput shaft. Just used a 36mm six-point Craftsman 1/2" drive socket and cut the teeth out. Once the tabs are bent back on the ring-nut itself, use an impact with the home-made socket and its off. If its anything like my 308, you'll have one hell of a time removing the snap-ring behind the outer bearing on the imput shaft. I destroyed mine upon removal, make sure you have one handy. | ||

What ever you do DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH A SLIPPING CLUTCH!!!!!! I learned the hard way. $4000 more for a flywheel, that will burn if you keep on driving. Have it towed! $50 is well worth the money! On the tech procedure somebody else will have to help you. I have no clue. Brought mine to the mechanic. It looked kind of simple, as the clutch for the 348 is easy access. Still was several hours of work I paid for! | ||

My clutch is starting to slip and I'm wondering how involved it is to change. I have a lift and all the tools; not any special Ferrari tools, but can make anything I need. Has anyone performed this procedure, and if so what should I look out for? thanks, LUCH |
