It would be great to see a successful reface of a Maserati clutch. There have been many who claimed it. None have come back after the event. Interesting your e-gear seems to be OK

OK, I haven't yet pulled the clutch on my QPV, but I have actual experience doing it on cars like a Murcielago- there's a pick of me with my engine+trans out of my car doing a clutch change in my home garage (no lift, jacks only) on this Pistonheads feature (may have posted this before):

I have loads of pics of the clutch (original and refaced), pressure plate etc.
Considering the fact that the clutches from factory for both Ferrari & Lamborghini are Valeo, I don't see why the Maserati one would be different. Plenty of US guys run refaced clutches on their Lambo's and Fezzas; I've previously used:

Barry who runs the place is very helpful, and US customer service is always great.
I know on the US lambo forums many have also successfully used:

On my 2nd DIY clutch change I thought I'd try some one local, and Andy from MD Clutches did an excellent job.
Given the amount of Lambo and Ferrari owners running refaced kevlar F1/e-gear clutches, I don't see what makes Maserati clutches different. As pointed out here, probably well known to this forum, there are many similarities between Fezza/Lambo/Maserati on this matter:

Visually to me the clutch (twin disc setup) looks like a Gallardo clutch to me. I note that Craig says that so far kevlar clutches have been unsuccessful in the Maserati, and I do find that strange seeing all the twin turbo Gallardos run kevlar twin disc clutches..
One of the reason's that I felt comfortable buying the QP with the much maligned (in the press) F1 box is that in my books its no different to the Ferrari/Lambo, which I have ample experience with. I'm happy to be a guinea pig on this matter, and at average 10-12K a year of driving, and being in central London, I guess I've got about 18-24 months of driving before a clutch change is due...
