DIY Ferrari 360 Driveway Clutch Replacement Saves Thousands

[@DestroyerWill]

Ferrari Workshop: it’s a 4 person job. Scott: I’m going to do it with one hand and hold a camera with the other.

[@flir67man84]

With flipflops!

[@VortechBand]

Well, it doesn't count as his uncle is Bob

[@Dolebludgeoner]

I understand the multitasking with the camera, but put a rubber mat down under the flywheel to avoid the starter ring gear impacting the hard concrete next time... or slip a thong/flipflop under it

[@chompeyboy]

Most mechanical workshops couldn't do what you just did in your driveway, often one handed. That's the truly impressive part. Seriously fantastic work mate, keep sharing.

[@Ratarossa]

Wow, thanks!

My OCD is freaking out every time Scott puts a tool or flywheel on the bodywork 😱😂.

[@Woods_Hiker]

I thought the same when I saw him jostle the flywheel on the left rear quarter panel :p ;) Its his car though and he knows what bits he values or are due for a refresh anyway. Very thorough job Scott that would give me confidence if I were to attempt it. IOWs- I would be terrified withpout first watching one of Scott's vids

[@Samcrac]

Hey Scott, excellent job mate. I really appreciate how you got every single little seal possible while you're in there; If you take this car to Ferrari, they literally don't touch about half the amount of parts you replaced unless requested or unless there is obvious failure.

[@Ratarossa]

Cheers buddy, a very wise fella KZbinr told me about half of them wink wink.

[@clifbradley]

I find this comment absolutely epic considering Sam literally just released his video on it. I know when that video was done because I live close to him and can tell by the weather. But either way, awesome

[@markusklose11]

Nice removal-job of the engine-bearing with the "stiffler". 👍

[@Simplyput3451]

@@Ratarossa Scott, definately need to look into getting a few chickens and cows to boost your subs. Maybe Samcrac can let you some of both.

[@TROdesigns]

Facts, and this is the case with a lot of mechanics

[@MrMairu555]

One of the most impressive things about this video, is the fact you completely removed the transmission just for the sake of your KZbin followers. You actually created additional work for yourself, just to make our experience better.

[@wernerdanler2742]

I've taken on some complicated jobs on cars and other machines on my own and wouldn't hesitate to do this one if I were 40 or 50 years younger. The sense of accomplishment when you complete a job like this is priceless! No left over bolts or nuts either. Lol

[@zxr750boy]

Great to see a car like that getting worked by a DIY'er. Fab job!

[@Czechbound]

This was really fantastic. I think the main benefit of videos like this is that they give us confidence to tackle thinks that stop working/ need replacing/ repairing on our cars, whatever the type/ value/ condition of the cars. Doing your homework beforehand, diagnosing the problem, confirming the initial diagnosis, ordering the right parts, having the right tools, and following the instructions seem to be the way to do. Well done, that was really great !

Ferraris are made for people like you. Fear is half the fight to servicing this car. Obviously a very complex job and you’ve done the required research. One aspect many don’t know is what a joy it is to work on a machine with such flawless fit. The precision actually makes every job easier.

i don't even a ferrari, but I gave ur video a thumbs up because anyone that can do a ferrari clutch in their driveway is on another level!

[@grimson]

This is inspiring. I don't have anything like a ferrari, but I do have an MR2 and no garage and the clutch is going to need changing soon. I know it can be done, but it's daunting, so good to see someone doing it with a much bigger and heavier transmission!

Great video with superb narration - I've literally done around 50 clutches a year for all of my working life ( but never on a Ferrari ) and have always worn overalls and proper work shoes.

[@mftwohill51]

Very well presented as you are very talented using the camera to give us all clear crisp shots. So Glad to see, Ferrari use a solid flywheel rather than one of those 2piece flywheels with a solid clutch plate. I am a bit old fashioned , I love the flex to be in the clutch plate, not the flywheel. Thanks for the post, well done.

[@Ratarossa]

Many thanks!

[@miken389]

Tks Scott, just snuck in my Superperformance order before the end of the month (to Aus, no less) to take advantage of the free shipping. I've bought from these guys before but the 308 has languished for some months and needs a bit of maintenance so I've loaded up for a couple of future to-do's as well. Had a part query on rear stabiliser bushes which was answered in a flash. Great people to deal with.

[@slasher9883]

Not only did Scott change a Ferrari clutch on his paved driveway in the English weather but he did most of it one handed. Take that so called "Ferrari Techs".!

[@328gts1987]

impressive to do this alone and on the driveway! Listing to your intro: my car drove 67.000km's on original clutch (F1). It is all in the understanding and feeling how to shift & lift. Put your foot down and keeping it down during shifting (F1) is killing (like in stick-shift car). By lifting the throttle during the shift (upward), the flywheel (& clutch) go down in rpm's (compression reduces the rpm) and by shifting (up-ward) the drivetrain also lowers in rpm's and by this lifting the throttle the clutch "slips" less. However as you have a upgraded ECU as explained in the video, I think that makes all the differance as I have a F430 with same ECU. In short: shift & lift during gear change (=shifting up) helps. Let the ECU shift down as you have lift the throttle to reduce speed and downshifts (during breaking) are done perfectly by ECU. Upgrade the ECU to expand the lifetime on your clutch is key

[@RobertSmith-qz4zx]

love the fact that you clean the parts before you put them back in. So many rebuilders don't

[@paulthompson5416]

Well done Scott 👍🏼 Making a fool out of the £200 per hr Ferrari "Technicians" that suck air through their teeth when they hear 360 clutch 🤔🧐😬 And here's Scott the one man tech team changing it on the driveway with one specialist spanner and his Puma flip-flops 😂😂😂😂👏🏼
