Hi Paul, just read your post, as I have just been told by local Main Dealer my Clutch sensor in my 2006 QP needs changing and would cost £2.5K approx, I am a mechanic with no experience of the QP clutch sensor?? but surely with starter removed you would not be even able to see the Clutch sensor...

Hi Voicey, as for taking advice from strangers on the net ?? isent that what these Forums are for to share our knowledge and help other people, and as I have been working on Ferrari's for nearly 40 years I can tell when someone is BSing me,I am not interested in learning how the CC box works, as...

Yes EDIS 8 can handle 9 to 10 RPM no problem. The main reason I am going with ITB's is looks and sound, well if I cannot have a V12 on Carbs then that is the next best thing, and will also gain at least another 50 BHP and loose some low down torque, and as you say the rest I do not need, Regards DM

Hi MJ,nice spacers and fuel rails, yes I have also used Bike TB's on the old Vaux Red top engines, and Zetecs, I will be hopefully using the Thriumph trident TB's as they are Aluminum so can be welded to an aly boss for my 4200 engine, what trigger wheel will you be using and are you going to...

Hi Mj, no I am sure there have been several MS's on some of the older engines like 308's and 400i's, yes on this engine it will be quite a challenge, I should say that is one of my other interests as I build and repair Megasquirts www.megasquirtuk.co.uk so i have a slight advantage, but as you...

Hi Voicey Thanks, yes I am looking for the manual shifter from a 4200, but surely the 360/430 is a completely different system ?? being mid engined cars ??. What is the clutch Block on the side of the bell housing, the fluid info is just the type of info I need as no experience of these cars...

Hi, Yes the major gotchas so far is getting the Torque Tube and prop Shaft shortened I have emailed several Company's and waiting for their replies ? so Thanks for the support, and still waiting for someone to clarify the Clutch conversion from auto to manual ??, Regards DM

Hi Catman, yes that was my first thought as well but just could not find one at the right price? and everyone told me the CC box was exactly the same and all I had to do was remove all the electro/Hydraulios ?? and fit the manual gearlever and cables ??, Regards DM

Hi thanks, nothing delicate about the Maserati Torque tube, in fact it would look at home under a Lorry, but I am sure it would cost a lot more to have a complete new one made, Regards DM

Hi Thanks again, I had a look at ES parts list and they both look exactly the same ?? so still no wiser, Regards DM

Hi MJ, Thanks, I will give them a try, what I was asking is what will I have to change to convert to a manual clutch, is the Flywheel and clutch the same on Manual or Auto as it looks the same to me and only difference is the electron activation, so can I just fit a clutch master Cycl and pipe...
