• Nothing other than standard workshop tools
• Copper grease
• ‘O’ ring grease
• Brake / clutch fluid.
Tools required
• 1987 Testarossa
• Euro Model
• F113B
• Tubi Sports Exhaust
Based on:
• Remove the two large screw clips that connect the air filter box to the large rubber hoses
• Disconnect the cloth covered oil tank breather hose
• Slacken the 10mm nuts holding the air filter box to the left and right plenums.
• Remove the whole air filter box and heat shield, we can now get the clutch housing.
• Be careful with the heat shield, it is an asbestos sandwich.
• Remove the clutch hydraulic lines from the clutch housing and cap off the hose.
• Remove the stainless steel heat shield from the rear of the clutch housing. Three 10mm nuts.
• Remove the exhausts so that there is space to the rear of the clutch housing. Mine looks like this when the Tubi is removed.
• Drain the oil from the Transmission housing (NOT the main gearbox) There should be only approximately 1/2 pint of oil in the transmission.
• This is a view of the clutch housing and transmission with the engine out of the car. Remove all the 13mm nuts and bolts on the periphery, don't forget the one hiding underneath.
• Using a rubber mallet, give the clutch housing a loosening tap to release the seal.
• Pull the clutch and transmission rearwards to remove.
• The unit is quite heavy so be prepared to take the weight once it is released. I always remove the rear bumper and lower valance to help but its up to you.
• Don't loose the two ‘O’ rings on the large steel tubes.
• We are in!
• This is the clutch thrust race sitting on the engine output shaft.
• Remove the small circlip and the bearing should pull free.
• I took the opportunity to remove the whole unit for servicing
• When replacing the housing add a little copper grease to the shaft.
• Re-build is just the reverse of the removal.
• Take note of the torque settings in the Work Shop Manual (WSM)
• Get a helper to bleed the clutch
• Test drive
• Beer, Job done!
