"Complete pinion for 6th Gear - Not as spare part" (F355 5.2)

Ian, when i visited Russ at Ferrparts he had quite a few gearbox's in pieces/parts. Been was 12mtns since i was there. Mite be worth ringing him and asking. Note they could be machined as a matched set mate cant see any other reason it couldn't be purchased on its own. other than that i know a man in Melbourne he may help you cheers Paul

 

Over the yrs playing with gearbox's some overdrives you have to by as a matched set(drive and driven gear). Its becoming a thing of the past with machining technology

 

You buy it as a matched gear set. Look at the previous diagram on Ricambi. There is also a 6th gear set that is matching to that one on the input shaft.

 

It would be a matter of measurement of your broken gear against its replacement mate. I'd say it's a relatively straight forward process if you can obtain the gear your after by itself

 

People always sell the set of 2 gears together because that is what is required. Even used sets are sold together because the wear of the gears all match up. Brand new gears are machined and the selected to match up as a pair. If you replace one new gear to go with an unmatched other gear, you will have excessive wear and it wont last long.

 

Because you would not get any warranty on the gears themselves and they do not care.
I do not know about our 355 transmissions but I do know that our heavy trucks and equipment no longer need both except for the crown and pinion.

20 years ago different story. But consider our transmissions are 20 years old so,likely the old technology.

 

Ian, I saw your gearbox apart the other day, was scary to see it like that! Hope it’s back on the road soon for you to enjoy.

 

I have been on fchat a long time, and the good news is have not seen too many 355 bix problems. Also many of the 348 probkems were addressed and fixed by Ernie and FBB a long time ago. My understanding is with their fixes the boxes were no longer a big problem as well.
So all though lots of parts in their, generally speaking the boxes do not usually cause problems.

 

Like all used cars, once you own them you know what condition they are in. Thats kinda my point when I tell people the ownership costs go down with age, provided they are maintained properly.

The good news is

Now you know its good

 

Image Unavailable, Please Login Yes a picture like this would have been more indicative of the extent at which you are undertaking the gearbox repair!

 

What amazes me is how heavy the gears are because they do not look that heavy when you see them out.

 

Oh yes I saw it all, was going to take your pumpkin home and restore it for you hahaha! Good idea to get the clutch done now, how was the throwout bearing?

 

A warranty on Ferrari parts?????
....
AAAAAAAHAHaHaHahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Oh that's funny!
