    Looks good with white wheels. I had white challenge wheels on my red tan 348 turned caged racecar. What wheels are those?

    Love the wheels. 348s are old money sophisticated. 355s are new money finance bros. That’s what Hollywood taught me! :)

    Just need to get the first to second shift down. I might change out the transmission oil out.

    The engine needs to be up to full operating temperature before it will shift from 1st to 2nd like normal.

    He beat me to it...they're ALL balky...some more, some less.

    I think I've got a mystical concoction of redline in there. Some swear by shell spirax (going from memory). there are threads on it.

    Stay away from superlight shockproof...that's old thinking.

    Thanks all. I remember my 355 transmission being a little easier to shift. No biggie with the 348 just getting use to it. That's part of the charm of these cars. Got it to fit in the garage.

    Nice Rosso Corsa and tan, iconic!!
    I do rather like the white wheels, its got that "competition" look to it...

    I drive my 348 very regularly, the more you drive it the better they run!!
    Get the Redline or Lucas gear oil in it, this helps the gearbox to shift better, especially when cold.

    Thanks for all the responses. Does anyone make a complete carpet kit for the cars? Carpet is in decent condition just thinking of freshing it up. Thanks Larry
