Steve's gearbox saga Volume 3: Dissasembly

???



Jedi "what haz been seen..."

 

Aye caramba!

That was funny. I see Phil taking a pic of you and then turn around to the that the moon rose early.

 

Some were left loosey, while others were reversey loosey.

For the next guy doing this, the ring nut on the mainshaft, on the oil pump side of the tranny (the side that has the speedo sender, with the phonic wheel on the shaft) is reversey loosey, meaning you remove it twisting clock wise.

Then on the other side of the gear gearbox the ring nut that is reverse thread is the one on the layshaft (that's the shaft that runs in the back of the box).

 

The fatman responded in Thread #2 http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279394 and he said that it was an "up grade". I was thinking that but I couldn't remember if it was the later cars that got more splines, or if it was just the 355's, or the spiders, or what. Anyway if you get the new set make sure that it come with the output shaft, and both drop gears you have in the pic you sent me.

Oh Chubba,
Plugz has the gearbox. He really like using it as an air freshener. LOL I dunno if he is gonna be taking to your place tomorrow? Or wait a minute, are you out of town?

 

Say while you are posting pics, post up the pics of Especiale tool #64 , and how it gets used to hold the bearings.

And

Check out the work or Canadian brother Daniel is doing on his box http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=234915

 

Ah! Yes post #8,

But you didn't post all of them.

 

Great reading, love these hands on threads with pictures

 

That's better.

 

From pics looks right. I'm still outta town. Send everything to bruce so all the parts are in one place. We don't need 4 people having stuff. That is how things get lost.

 

Good times, good guys. I'm stoked that we may have a replacement for the unobtanium clutch shaft. The birth defect has been passed down through generations of Bogart men. Uncle Humphrey had 3 cheeks.

 

Steve,

The shaft and gears as pictured determine the ratio. You will have to look in the woork shop manual book to see which ratio you have and what ferrparts is sending you. One set from the mondial T gives better acceleration. One set originally for the 348 gives more top speed. There is really not that big a deal to me I have driven both. There are followers in both camps however. So you gotta decide.

 

BTW, FBB, all the Chickens in Nevada send you a thank-you for leaving them with their wings! Steve was prepared to feed, too, with a cow in the fridge!
