I think my Clutch of Diff has failed today

If this was my car, I'd get it on a lift, drop the pan and manually move the wheels with the car in gear, clutch in. That should help pinpoint exactly where in the transaxle the problem lies. If it's a bearing, might be a low cost fix. If it's deep inside, bummer, and get a new transaxle.

I certainly feel for your loss.

 

The Nottingham branch picked mine up from Heysham for £150 , this was a few years ago. If you have an f1 box i dont think it is a straight swap anyway and will need expertise . You can get them to tell you what needs doing and costs etc.

 

i still think you r looking at a bearing on the rear drive shaft

 

Might not as it is not transmitting torque, the torque is power and will put weight on the bearing. Once you get the weight off the wheels you should be able to put your fingers on the bearings and feel a rough one when the shaft is turned. Or try a prybar and look for lift in the shaft. If it was gearbox i would expect problems getting gears to engage
Look on u tube for info re drive shafts/

 

Eurospares have used wheel bearing and housing at about £200 + vat. Thats about half price ( assuming thats all it is)

 

Looks like you narrowed it down to CV joint or the. Diff (clutch plates?)

So the same thing with someone listen to the CV joints on half axles .. and I think you will have your answer

You hope it is just your cv joint. Remove the axle on that side and strip it down. You are handy enough for that.

 

U r getting there- screwfix do a de walt impact for reasonable money, will make life easier

 

I doubt the good fairy of Ferrari repair paid you a midnight visit. I suggest going ahead with your plan.

 

Forget running it before u do more damage, get the half shaft out and see what is going on. Very simple job. Look on eurospares web site for a good drawing of the assembly.

 

You will need a solvent tank if you are going to open up the CV’s. The cage might be broken inside, but the whole CV will need to be cleaned to see what’s broken. I’ve used my wife’s Tupperware and gasoline in a pinch, but be careful of the fumes.
When you put the CV back together, make sure it’s clocked correctly. Caterpillar grease is one of the best available for CV’s, I used it for years offroad racing. It comes in a tube for a caulking gun which makes things easier.

Just curious, have you drained the gearbox/ pulled the mesh filter to inspect yet?

 

Eurospares showing complete diff with shafts and bearings at £1800 plus vat or if its just the 2 roller bearings, about £110 ea plus vat. If u can id bearing will be lot cheaper from bearing wholesaler.

 

You might be lucky and find the roller bearing has failed, hope it has stayed in diff .Ferrari classic parts showing no stock either( part of graypaul ) give bh ferrari a ring and see if he knows of any bits, they do a lot of ferrari rebuilds and if you need an expert he is the man to go to. Probably the best in uk
