Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1985 308 QV GTSi euro value

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

Come to think of it, I did have some oil seepage in the same area due to a shot Rear Main Seal (to be replaced, of course).  VERY common to see leaking there, on a 25-30 year old engine.....but then again, pretty much every gasket and seal in my car was starting to weep in some capacity.  The rebuild is coming-along nicely.

Of note, on my 1939 Rolls-Royce I'm about to pull my one year old clutch (replaced last year). Unfortunately I have a bad rear main seal leak that dumps oil on the clutch so it needs to be replaced. However instead of replacing it, I'm having it relined by Fort Wayne Clutch. They said an average re-lining of a clutch disc is about $125.

I had always babied my clutch, but I did have an issue with my throttle cable coming apart, which put undue stress on my clutch during that time.  When my mechanic tore-down my engine, he remarked that my clutch was TOAST.  I have 33K on the clock.....oh well.  Compared to brake discs, aftermarket exhausts, and other items people throw money at on a 308, a new clutch is less than $700 and easy for the DIY person to replace so there's little to get excited about.

My experience has been that many clutches have been replaced because the shop needed the business........as in, Gee, your clutch is feeling a little soft, maybe we should take car of it while it is here to have the wipers replaced.

But, that may not be true ( in all cases)
