Disregard that last post. They described it using different words but they both said assembly the same way. The smooth portion towards the gearbox...
there is a discrepancy between the two videos above. At 8:08 on normal guy super car he shows the notched end of the inner spindle portion of the...
If doing a fluid flush and putting on a new accumulator can break something, I’m sure in over my head! Of course I’m joking; I’ve done that many...
Thanks, Flash. Received. - Im waiting to do some easy steps on my own, then get thermal readings, before I take your valuable time over the phone....
Very nice write up, thanks. I’m rebuilding CV axles now. One started leaking. I’m wondering if from heat from gearbox or from test pipes...
Ah, I should have clarified. What’s in the clear cup is what was taken out. What’s in the measuring cup was new fluid I added (1/3 of a cup)....
Any ideas? I’m replacing the accumulator and doing a fluid flush.
I towed it home due to a lot of smoke from the grease going onto the test pipes. Which I’m guessing could ignite too. I’d say that was justifiable...
Here is the kit. 70000868. Same part number and half the cost if labeled “Maserati.” I’ve rebuilt plenty of u-joint drive and half shafts;...
What’s considered too m what’s too much grease? Did normal guy super car (video above) use too much? It seemed like a lot. I could also see...
Hi All, 2005 F430, 24k miles. I bought it ~7 months ago. The gearbox seems to get pretty hot with normal driving. The clutch seemed to start...
Fantastic explanation! Thanks
Why would a boot swell? Excess heat? Maybe a symptom of a greater problem.
Here is another video if anyone else needs reference: [MEDIA]
Fantastic video and he’s got a great looking F430, looks like quality work. I’ll just rebuild them both for preventative maintenance.
Can you share the raw URL and/or name of video? It’s saying broken link for me. Thank you for sharing!
Are you sure loose bolts could cause this? If so, I’m guessing that’s the cause. Second thought, do I need to add grease?
Yes! The bolts were actually quite loose…. 1/3 were finger loose 1/3 required just a pound of pressure with a 6” handle. The rest were snug....
I don’t think mine is leaking from behind the rubber boot. It’s leaking behind the metal plate, then following the bolts all the way through. I’ll...
