I agree with F-Joe and Ed,
If you CAN rebuild/resurface (can't always), I would do that for less $ first before I ever ordered a stock clutch pack/kit for more $.

It just amazes me, the talent and resourcefulness you guys have. Your really breaking the rules of Ferrari maintenance, in that it is supposed to cost thousands of dollars. I would think that over time and enough stories like these, and the right people reading them, that prices for parts and service in the U.S. would have to drop. |

FerrariJoe,
That-a-Boy ,, ,, That's how I did my clutch last summer.
I ahd a local tractor shop do the clutch disc rebuild. Cost me only $50.00
Then I did the resurfasing of the flywheel myself. My'n didin't need machining, just a light sanding. .. . . Presto , a new clutch job for about $100.00 ha ha
Remember to replace the rear main seal. $4.50 at the local NAPA... . . Take in your old one.

Adam,
I did my clutch myself back in spring. The most critical measurement is the thickness of the disc relining. You will need 1.4mm space between 4 contact points with the clutch pedal fully pressed to allow disengagement. Your WSM has a diagram of the thickness:
1. Flywheel to front clutch disc.
2. Front clutch disc to center ring.
3. Center ring to rear clutch disc.
4. Rear clutch disc to pressure plate surface.
I had the flywheel, center ring and pressure plate resurfaced a machine shop. Once this was done, I knew the thickness needed for the disc. I had the discs relined at a local clutch and brake supplier. This cost $298 for all.
I bought my throw out & pilot bearings, rear main seal, slave-cylinder seal, transfer case seals and exhaust donuts from George Evans for about $376.
Total $674.00 and I did all the work.
If you need pictures of the process, email me for them.
Joe

I'm sure he will do it. But, I would have a new main seal put in while he is in there.
Are you just looking for just the disk or the whole assembly T/O bearing, PP and disk? |
