clutch addustment?

Does anyone know how to adjust a clutch on a 99 F355 F1.

 

Yep.

Sit in the drivers seat and push down on the pedal on the left.

Now let it back up.

You have just successfully adjusted the clutch.

 

It is a F1 car there is no left clutch pedal.

 

I did not say clutch pedal. I said left pedal.

Adjustment is achieved in exactly the same manner, 2 pedals or 3.

There is no adjustment designed into the system. If it was properly installed and the system set up correctly at that time, when it starts slipping it has finished its useful life.

 

Vehicle does not slip in top gears but customer is complaining of excessive slippage on take off. Any ideas? If I hold the brake down in 1st gear and accelerate is this when it would slip the most?

 

Brian- Put down the club and step back from the keyboard. Take a deep breath. OK now? Go for it.

Hello, think you are wrong!
The F1 system has a calibration for the clutch. I have the same problem, i take the engine out from the car to make the timing belt change, and put it back. The problem now is that the car don't run... It was perfect before and after the clutch seems not to make his job, so, the car have is with an ignition and fuel cut off when i try to run.
I ask the nearest Ferrari dealer, and they say that probably i have to take the air from the hidraulic system or make some calibration of the clutch... Don't know how can i do that, but some his wrong and the car was perfect before and in the OBD detector, does not appear any code or error...

 

Probably should reread the 3rd sentence.

Not to mention I consider it rather humorous that you can't make a motor run but you can proclaim my lack of understanding of the F1 system.


Whatever

 

If it is even worse in reverse you are pretty much describing a worn out clutch.

What does your SD1 or 2 say about clutch wear?

 

I just want to share some information and i'm sorry for my ignorance in this question. I came here to make friends and be usefull, i apologise if i disturb you some way.

 

You probably haven't been around long enough, but the dude is a professional Ferrari wrencher....

 

The engine run perfect, maybe i have not describe correct (thread: 355 star but not run), the car is working perfect but when i try to drive, it stop. So, the Ferrari guy in the repair dealer say to me that i will need to adjust the clutch or take the air in the system....

Sorry but if it not make any sense, is because i believe in someone who should know. It's why i ask here for some information.

Thank you

 

Once again i apologise, was not to joke or make any disturb here, i already insert a Thread asking for help with my problem, and get none...
If someone can help me, i would be very satisfied.

And yes, i'm recently here at the forum, and is my first Ferrari.

 

Your problem could be caused by a number of things but to get back to the original question in 355 there is no provision fro adjusting the clutch. There are various things which can be manipulated but none are for the purpose of clutch adjustment as a 360, 575 etc is capable of doing.

If you simply removed the motor and reinstalled it correctly, nothing in the F1 system should prevent it from being driveable. If you did not remove and reinstall correctly there are far too many variables to guess at here.

 

The leetle man in da clutch, you has to adjust hes waistband to make it fit good - when he is happy den da car go good!

 

Hi,

Can you be more specific? What can i do to drive the car again? I check all the cables and at the computer i don't have any error. I only get an ''error at sensor of speed'' when i shift the 1 gear and the car stop...

 

Brain I do not have a SD1 or 2 is there anything else I could do ?

 

You are taking money from a car owner to work on their F1 car and do not have the most basic equipment or knowledge to perform that job?


You sir have no business in the car business.


It is people like you that the real pros have to pick up after all the time.

 

I didn't realize Alfonso was a mechanic

 

Reread post #5.

 

He does seem to need a lot of help for someone taking money to fix customer cars...

Brain these are not what we specilize in. I was trying to help a friend if nothing we can do then will recommend bringing it to the dealer. I was mearly trying to get info.

 

I work on Ferrari.
I don't work on Lamborghini
I don't work on Mercedes Benz
I don't work on Borgwards.

I am not knowledgeable and not equipped to work on those cars. It would be a serious disservice to the owner for me to take their money to do so and it would be a bad business decision as well. I pick up after people that do not share that view every day and the car as well as the customer pay a serious price.

It one thing if you are doing it to your own car, it is another to do it for profit for the person you referred to as "The customer".

As shown by your own statements you do not have an understanding of how the car works and you do not have basic equipment to perform repairs.

 

I agree with you completly and I work on Mercedes Benz cause we have all the factory tools to do so. He (the customer has a MB) and we were looking to help him put a little. I am just trying to get info for the person.

 

LMAO!

That must have been an agonizing choice.
