348 single or twin plate clutch

The early 348's had the twin plate clutch. My car is a 12/91 and it has the twin plate in it. They changed sometime in 1992. I think it was late 92, but not 100% sure sorry. I have the info somewhere here. You can change...........but will need to source flywheel ect...... Why would you want to change to single plate? Stick with the twin plate. Its good enough.

 

I think it was the '93 year cars that went to the single plate. I'm not sure on the build number though.

 

Here are the parts for your single clutch plate conversion mate.

Shiiiiiiit! Sorry mate. Did you fix the other slavebody one for me too please?

 

Ah, I think I fixed it. Give that a try mate.

 

Hi Michael. My 92' Euro (#92156) has the single plate clutch (it's a 'battery in the front' car).

Yeah, mate. what/when they say and what/when they do...may be different!

 

Hey Chris, would you happen to know if your single plate clutch had (Borg & Beck) part # OCL3403000 stamped on it?

 

Maybe so. Or they didnt feel like doing it on the day.

 

It's a Valeo part ND, #174047 (pressure plate anyway).

 

Hi,
Ferrari changed at 10/10/91 the 348 to single-plate clutch from chassis-# 84793 on, but with the exception of USA, Canada and RHD cars.

Hello Georg

Do you know why they didn't bother with those versions?

 

Hi,
sorry, I don´t have any further information than this service bulletin.

Thanks Georg

 

Yeah that fixed the link. Didn't fix the prices though. Could just be my version of Internet Explorer sticking zeroes onto the end of things again.

 

HA!

 

And there you have it.

 

I had test drove a US version '92 MY and it had the dual plate clutch.

 

So maybe it was the U.S. cars that got the single plate clutch in '93?
