Willi (aka Ferrari Bubba), your description of life in BFA is really funny.
You missed your calling, man....you should have been a comedy writer....

Check this website out.  Our local FCA chapter had a tour there a couple
months ago.  Very impressive what they can do, fully modernizing the
performance, braking and handling of a classic old American sports car.

The level of craftsmanship on that silver Corvette was amazing.

Not for the faint of heart, as this is expensive!

First of all, I'm not sure of the proper terminology here, but what I'm
looking for is a site or sites for the following type of car; one that has
an "old style" body (or at least resembles an older/previous auto) but has
"modern upgrades" in the areas of suspension, engine, etc. Not really a kit
car, although I'm not averse philosophically to them as long as they don't
blatantly pretend to be something else, but an old car updated to handle
well by today's standards and to get good fuel economy and power with modern
engine management systems.

I'm sure this is hard to describe without actually experiencing it, but can 
someone describe in detail what exactly the chatter is and/or what it feels 
like in practice?

I'm having some continuing gearbox issues with my TR and after having had 
two good mechanics check it with minimal improvement, my next thought was to

buy several different recommended oils and test each of them to see if any 
of them help, but aside from the smoothness in shifting I'm not sure what 
else to watch for to judge their performance.

Thanks!

Hey Charles,
    Let me take a crack at it.  I assume you're asking about "clutch 
chatter"?  It's the only chatter I've heard which refers to a transmission.

    Assuming that's correct - a clutch chatters when the clutch disc doesn't

grab the flywheel completely but instead, skips across the surface grabbing,

then releasing rapidly over and over.  It producing a bump, bump, bump, 
bump, bump, bump kind of sound & feeling - which happens *very* rapidly. 
Also, it happens as the clutch is released - meaning the clutch is lifted 
from the floor allowing it to engage.   In my experience, the chatter (or 
judder as it is sometimes called) stops when the pedal is fully out.

    Does that help?  I'll give it some thought and see if I can come up with

a better way to describe it.

How about this - picture a gear turning rapidly and sometime is trying to 
mesh with the gear but instead of meshing it bounces off the gear preventing

it meshing??

How about that?

Sometime a chatter/judder is caused by contamination on the clutch disc or 
possibly the flywheel is warped although a warped flywheel often causes more

drastic symptoms.

Thanks, Larry. That is a good description of clutch chatter, which I think I

can recognize.

But I think the one people are referring to here is differential chatter. 
The TR, like several other Ferraris, I believe, shares oil between its 
transmission and its differential. So if you put a non-slip oil in the 
gearbox, I think the differential sometimes can't get enough friction to do 
its job properly, so it slips, as you described, also chattering in some 
form. The solution, if that happens, seems to be to add a little non-slip 
additive at a time until the problem balances/goes away.

But I don't know how to detect differntial chatter, or how to discern it 
from clutch chatter if the car happens to have multiple problems.

Thanks!

Hi Charles,
    Hmm...not sure I really helped.  IAC, I'm totally unfamiliar with 
differential chatter - but I guess a limited slip differential must slip 
before becoming locked up - perhaps that's where the slip and chatter comes 
from?  If that's the case, I still don't have a clue what it might sound 
like. ;-)

    But I'll keep an eye on the list and see if I can learn something.

    BTW, Thanks for the feedback -

Charles,

This might be what you are talking about.

A previous car of mine had a limited slip rear end and I mean it was very
limited slip.  If the friction modifiers weren't totally OEM, the rear end
would growl and the car would shutter when turning sharp at slow speeds on
sticky roads.  On not so sticky roads one of the rear tires would chirp when
going slow around a tight bend (like in a parking lot).  When the friction
modifiers were correct (or at least more correct) it would very seldom make
any noise at all, but would still leave two solid black marks on the street.
I assume you can get the friction modifiers wrong the other way and only
leave one black stripe on the road.

This car also came with a small donut spare tire that in huge yellow letters
said it could not be used on the rear end.  So, if you got a flat on a rear
tire, you first had to put the spare on a good front tire and then put that
front tire on the rear where the flat is.

Dave

Too much money for too retro (little) performance.  Saw one, corresponded
with them for a few emails until I suggested some "improvements"-caused a
disconnect.
:)
Best,
Tom

  Hey Tom: What is your opinion of the 'Beck Spyder?' I almost bought a
Silver one with red leather seats, disc brakes, and Porsche 1600 Super
engine instead of the 'Shitbox.' And no, it didn't have 'Little Bastard'
painted on the nose.

  Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

First of all, I'm not sure of the proper terminology here, but what I'm
looking 
for is a site or sites for the following type of car; one that has an "old 
style" body (or at least resembles an older/previous auto) but has "modern 
upgrades" in the areas of suspension, engine, etc. Not really a kit car, 
although I'm not averse philosophically to them as long as they don't
blatantly 
pretend to be something else, but an old car updated to handle well by
today's 
standards and to get good fuel economy and power with modern engine
management 
systems.
??
Thanks all very much,
Tom Reynolds
Tulsa, OK
