That's an interesting comparison between our dealings with Reuben. AFAIK he went back to working on trucks after a brief period working from a garage in St. Kilda junction. He has significant family problems which get in the way of permanent employment,I feel sorry for him.

3200GT clutch kits are available from Australian Clutch Services,part no. KMS24001. The kit is genuine Sachs. www.clutchpro.com.au

I found a member who modified the throwout bearing so it doesn't fail by welding on stiffening pieces to the lugs,here...http://driven.boards.net/thread/175/maserati-3200-clutch-release-bearing.
This also allows to adjust the touch point of the clutch so you get about three times the wear from the clutch plate. A very worthwhile modification which I will do when time comes to replace the clutch again.

Thanks for the info. I just realised yours is a 3200 (mine is a gransport) but will be worth talking to them when the time comes to change mine.

I just contacted them for a complete clutch kit, waiting for a call back by them to confirm.
I'm still yet to find a mechanic in Melbourne that knows what theyre looking at and wont trick you in saying you need a whole clutch change rather than something else. Is there anyone we know?

MRichards do you mind if i can use the Sd2 it seems to be impossible to get your hands on one in Melbourne :'(

He told me he had a new clutch kit on the way,not yet delivered ,for about A$3000. So I agreed to bring the car back for clutch replacement when the kit arrived. He never called. I found out that there are new clutch kits available in Adelaide for A$1200,so I bought one of these and did the whole job & quite a few other repairs when the gearbox was out of the car for less than $3000. Although he diagnosed problems with the car he seemed very diffident about doing required repairs & seemed too vague in his interpretation of the fault codes. "Shifty" is the word.

I could not fault the work Reuben did on my car. He not only fixed all the items but checked other possible parts & his standard of work was excellent. I would recommend him.

I know this is an old thread but I did get a quote for a clutch for my 4200 Cambiocorsa from Australian Clutch Services and the figure I got was over $3300
