    They do move back and forth a little, thats normal. Just be aware if it gets to be more and if that problem starts it will usually continue getting worse and eventually it will start making some extra gear noise and get a little clunky on and off throttle.

    When that stuff starts happening MOST aware drivers will notice, the problem is caused usually by those who have such fear of bringing the car in because they don't want to hear bad news and keep hopeing it will go away.

    Woohoo!
    Got mine today! And what a nice bit of machining!
    I'm going to display it on my coffee table until I can get it in the car!

    And the box, oh yeah the box.... I didn't have my glasses on when I started to undo the wood screws with my drill motor with a phillips bit..... Darn things were a pita and the bit just kept slipping,,, until I put on my specks and realized they were square holes, and needed a square bit that I don't have...but with a little persistance, and cussin, finally got the screws out but to the detrement of the phillips bit!

    Thanks Paul! :D

    Here we go again Paul. It looks like our neighbours to the south need a lesson on the correct procedure for removing the "square hole" screws. I think in the future you might have to include a "Robertson" bit taped to the outside of the package along with some instructions i.e. square peg in square hole, so they don't damage all their flat head screw drivers. :) :)

    I wonder, if GM used Robertson screws to assemble their cars would they be in this predicament?
    I sincerely hope they pull themselves out of this one. It will benefit us all.

    JTR your in good hands with Newman's carrier.

    Pretty soon we can drive our FCars and boast of how we drive and 'buy American'.
    It is good to be patriotic...

    Except Newman lives in Canada, but since many "American" cars are made there I gues it is theoreticaly correct.

    Expecting my Diff carrier in a week or so, car should hopefully be back on the road a week or two after that,

    The TR's 1st gear has broken teeth so I'm looking for a 1st speed gearset. Any leads are appreciated. I will be installing one of Newman's carriers from his new batch while the transaxle is in for repair.

    Now that is some handsome hardware. Nice work NEWMAN! Anyone know if the 'bad' hub carriers include the 512TRs? Is it just the "Ms" with the improved version?

    Saw one of these new units in Brian Cralls shoppe a few weeks ago. If it had lipstick and panties on it I would have taken it to bed. Nice work Newman.

    From another thread here I read that starting with a very late VIN the 512TR's got the -M type differential. Otherwise they are in the same boat as an earlier TR but running more horse power...

    You people are smart. I guess I need to check to see WHAT VIN constitutes 'late'. Or do you know? I called the FNA gentleman (British accent, very kind man) who said mine was likely in the last 50, build date of January 1994. Does that help?

    I just basically want to NEWMANize my car. If you'll throw in a trailer hitch, I'll start saving up!

    Paul - are the calibers simply props, or are you trying to convince us that you actually measured these things?

    Chances are you may be one of the lucky ones.
    I believe Steve Magnusson has your answer on the VIN.
    I think it can be found in the Parts Manual, it's a super-cession number for the carrier.


    I have seen it mentioned in another Fchat thread here, probably in the TR section.
    Edit: Thinking again, it may have gone by gear box numbers instead of VIN.

    Newman - we call them Laser Fabre-Perot Interferometers down here, but a caliper will do. My bad - thinking brakes (calibers) instead of breaks - of carriers that is).

    AHudson - the British gentleman that you refer to is John Amette, and a gentleman he is. As knowledgeable as anyone on the planet concerning things Ferarri, and a great resource. A resident of southern California for 35 years, he use to work on my Dinos in the 70s. Then with FNA for many years as Western Regional Service Manager. Now back with Ferrari.

    John Amette is employed at Ferrari Orange County, a franchised dealership. AHudson says he called FNA. They are in New Jersey. The head of the aftersale division, Servizio, Asistenza, Technica or SAT for short is an Englishman.
