The clutch on my 2003 - 360 with F1 is going to need replacing in the near future. Are there any aftermarket clutch upgrades that should be considered? Or should I just stick with OEM? Thanks!
I was wondering just the other day if perhaps they have a ceramic clutch available out there. Or something that might last longer. Ray
There should be a kevlar option out there. I think the dealers will be mum on this one with the money made on these things......Clutchs are all just different size discs and materal....I want to research this further.....BEN
I was thinking maybe the challenge cars have something. Does anyone know who makes the gearbox for Ferrari these days? I don't know if it's made in house or not. ZF might be able to supply some sort of higher performance racing type clutch disc. I dropped them a note asking if they provide any sort of higher performance clutch disc. If I hear anything back, I'll let you know. I do know that most people I have spoken with say that the factor disc is plenty strong. However, I do like the idea of having something in there that will stand up to the abuse better. I posted a question in the racing section. Perhaps someone there might know. Ray
Tilton Engineering in Buelton Ca. supplies many of the racing clutches. I had a 5" carbon fiber clutch years ago in a Formula Atlantic car. We did standing starts and the clutch never failed. It is certainly worth a call. If they make one for the 360 or challenge cars it would be an excellent price and last almost forever.
When I needed a new clutch for my 360 F1 last year I considered a Kevlar clutch kit from International Motorsports in Ca. but the Head Tech at Ferrari of Atlanta talked me out of it by saying it would last longer if it was a track only car but would not give the same feel in normal driving . I had them install the factory unit and am happy with the result but would have liked to hear comments from someone with a different clutch. Good Luck
Great, thanks for the information. Do you have any info about the clutch/price from the one Int'l Motorsports was talking about? Ray
