Wanted F355 manual conversion parts

If it was me I’d get it professionally diagnosed to understand the extent of the issue first and then decide. Would favor keeping it F1 but that’s just me.

Bizarre preference ... The answer is always a stick.

 

I have a factory pedal box if interested.

 

All that's needed for the conversion is the clutch pedal itself, the boxes are identical

 

If you’re talking about the car at Beverly Hills car club, converting the car to manual or dealing with whatever trans issues is the LEAST of your worries.
Go back and take a close look at the pictures of the door sills….

Like others have said, the list of required parts is not long. Shift carrier and gear selector rod, pedal box (same as 348), etc. there is a video on YouTube where a guy goes through the process step by step.

But again, on that car, the numerous odometer rollbacks, obvious accident history, etc would be a much bigger deterrent. Buyer beware

I just did manual conversion on my 355 GTS, there is thread on 355 part of forum. Its complete different car for me now

 

It must be from a bosch brakes car.

 

It's different. When Ferrari switched to Bosch ABS in 1998 they changed the pedal box. The only manual boxes that work are from '98-'99, very rare since much of production by then was F1. Good news is you don't need the box, just the clutch pedal.

 

My mistake, I had no idea. Good to know, thanks!

 

Do we have any photos of it when it was damaged? Or is this you seeing the proof as I haven't looked at that car that hard he doesn't post carfaxes does he?

 

I don't recall exactly, but I did spend some time looking at it when it was first listed, and in the records there is a receipt or two for some body/paint work.
I called and inquired about the car and that's when the salesperson told me about the numerous odometer rollbacks in the history.
Rosso Barchetta is my favorite color on a 355, and I am certainly no stranger to turning wrenches on them, but there is too much liability with this particular example for me.

Sorry to OP for (potentially) derailing his thread!

 

Actually, a number of parts are needed to do the conversion, and most of them are no longer available new or on the secondary / used market. They have all but disappeared. I have a set but it took me the better part of two years to accumulate all the necessary parts.

I saw this car back in August when I thought of doing the same thing in converting it to manual. The car is in rough shape. I decided to pass. I think a 40k number is correct for that car.

 

I would put that car in the $30K range. Needs absolutely everything. And no matter how much money and time you sink into bringing it back, it will never not be a car with odometer rollbacks, an accident, and severe neglect in its history.

 

Do you still have a factory three pedal box ? Please let me know. Jon Fink [email protected] 434-825-6747
