    Engine Oil for the 3200

    I guess some people don't know humor.

    Engine Oil for the 3200

    It's been scientifically proven that oil with a red color is best, purple a close second. In all seriousness, the only anecdote I have is that I recently tried Liqui Molly 5W40 Euro Formula for the first time and can report that the oil pressure gauge is much more active. With other oils, it...

    What is the idea of this?!

    Can't find that locally, used some Mobile 1 ATF full synthetic which says it replaces Dextron iid, which I believe was OEM standard.

    What is the idea of this?!

    What PS fluid is everyone using for top off ?

    What is the idea of this?!

    Also though the lip was to catch spillage. On an aside, does anyone have handy the process to flush the PS fluid, which PS fluid to use to top off and do we check the fluid with the engine on or off ? Thanks

    Dodgy bolt... rear subframe fun...

    When you reinstall the rear subframe, do you notice any 'wiggle' room for the subframe to be shifted slightly from left to right ? Perhaps 1/4-1/2 inch ? There is an open issue being discussed where on some cars the left rear wheel hub can sit outboard about 1/4-1/2 inch more than the right...

    Dodgy bolt... rear subframe fun...

    Is there a PDF procedure on how to drop or just lower the rear subframe ?

    Google drive - workshop manual, information & resources

    I don't seem to have access. Is it the same as this: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B3CWXPqs0MoYdkRQcXAwZ0M3UUU?resourcekey=0-3UrGZzTQd-e6cBuFzF1cEQ

    Let's get some facts straight - MANUAL TIPO 4200

    This ^^ I really wanted the GS for a number of reasons (had a coupe previously) and like the CC but would also like to have GS with a good 6spd. To Fifty's point though, that the manuals have a bad rap as well as the CC (for different reasons), they do and possibly for no good reason - I...

    Maserati Gransport rear subframe alignment

    Following up to see if anyone has more insight into this issue. I have some pics below with notes. Feel free to tell me where I'm thinking about this wrong. At least for my car, the facts/assumptions are that car is properly aligned, the torque tube is straight from the factory connected to...

    Maserati Gransport rear subframe alignment

    Thanks - that work was a small fortune. Not sure this helps though as nothing specific points to the issue some of us are facing. Do you know if they dropped the subframe when doing the work - the one thought my Indy and I had was that the subframe may have a bit of play if we lowered it and...

    Maserati Gransport rear subframe alignment

    Very happy I found this thread as this issue has been driving me nuts - misery loves company. I have it on my 2006 GS. Left rear wheel sits about 1/2 inch more outbound than the right rear. Found out when I added the 25mm rear FD spacers and the left side rubs. Car is properly aligned...

    Gransport MC Victory X 3

    Personally, I never really understood the value of the MCV. Some badges, different seats (which I happen to prefer the GS seats) and the 18" rims. What am I missing other than some cosmetic differences to the GS ?

    Wiper Arm Clip... £30??

    I would like to get another (but not for $30) - the car does seem to veer to the the side without one. Must be the reduced air resistance.
