We need more videos with Danielson in them! He's really getting a lot more comfortable with the camera and i love how he presents himself. Professional and knows what he's talking about without sounding arrogant. :)
At least Danielson was a lot more comfortable on camera at first then say the wizard was, I remember the wizard having that dead stare into the camera in the beginning. 🤣
The Porsche 928 has an easy clutch as well. You remove a plate from the bottom of the bellhousing, undo two bolts, and the driveshaft telescopes backwards. Then you undo three clutch bolts and the whole assembly drops down in your hands. An experienced mechanic can do a clutch job on one of these in about one hour. Too bad that only about 15% of 928's were equipped with manual transmissions.... Great video!
My 928S was a manual and I wished it was an automatic. I did not care for the dog-leg shift pattern. It was a PITA going from one car to the other with different shift patterns. Plus, I'm tired of shifting now, probably all my future cars will be automatics anyway. If I could afford a vintage 911 I would get a manual, but a modern 911 would definitely have a PDK.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH all depends on where you drive and at what time. I have only manuals. But I don't have a rush hour commute. I totally despise the school dropoff lane (it's on a hill)

I am sure you are happy to be on the road with the 308GTB again. You are very lucky to have Daniel on your team we are always amazed at the array of things he does he is a very knowledgeable mechanic. Also can't say enough about Mrs.Wizards video skills. We love the channel.
I remember my first two vehicles were stick shifts. I went through clutches like cheap bias ply tires. As soon as I turned 18 all of a sudden my clutches and tires started lasting A long time.........................amazing isn't it.lol. Live and learn.
Opel/Vauxhall front wheel drive cars of the 1980's did an amazing piece of engineering on their vehicles to change the clutch without taking the transmission out. The fitted a cover in the bell housing that you would remove then press the clutch pedal whilst a 2nd person would put steel clips to hold the pressure plate closed. 6 or 8 bolts later clutch out in 10 minutes new one fitted, job done. :)
Can't tell you how relieved I am to hear you call it a pressure plate. Years ago my parents took their manual trans hyundai elantra into the dealership to have the clutch replaced under warranty and my dad being curious wanted to see how bad the clutch disk was and the mechanic took him back in the shop to show him and called the pressure plate a "clutch cover"
I remember 8 years ago when he got this car and starter working on the interior. I somehow went back on this channel in end of 2022 to find he is now working on the clutch. 👏🏻
A trip down memory lane for me! I had a 1988 Ferrari 328 GTS as a daily driver. It looks almost identical to the 308 except it was 3.2 liter, 4-valve with fuel injection from the factory. I could change the clutch and timing belts through the wheel wells in the 328 also. It was a practical car and it was my daily driver and I loved leaving it covered in dust and dirt - people got so upset.
To use an Americanism.... Props to Daniel San! As a fully trained old school mechanic, I cannot get over Daniel San's attention to detail!Another Muricanism! Awesome young Dude! You struck GOLD there Dave having him on your team... and yet so young but with SSSSOOOOO much experience! No wonder you attract such good customers with guys like Daniel San ,Magic Mike and yourself Bad Wizard,lol
A 55 amp alternator? With the added fuel injection, I would advise you to try to shop a higher output Bosch unit that will fit. This can be done, but it takes a little research.
Wizard: It makes me so happy to see that you’ve found so much success, both with your business and in your UA-cam/personal endeavors. Its been really fun watching along on the Ferrari and the yacht, looking forward to seeing this old gal back on the streets!
Since I didn't hear from Mrs. Wizard I want to say on her behalf that I can't wait for her to take her car out on its first test drive. :) Happy to see Daniel on camera, as well as the other staff. Wishing you continued success.
Check the expansion tank, the underside of the top goes rusty on the inside. They were hard to find & £7-900 when I was looking back in 2008, I`m sure they`d be more so on your side of the pond, a decade on.
At 8:00 the alternator is not charging, likely because the brushes and slip rings have motor oil on them. Degreasing might fix it. BUT, Don't squirt Brake Kleen in it while it's on the car running! Seems like a time/labor saver but it isn't. They don't make a flame throwing pinwheel effect everytime, but when they do it sucks. Not every lesson needs to be learned by experience.
This is the story everywhere. "I have a great guy who does X.... but he is retired, so he only does work for friends and family now." Until people are willing to pay people for quality work, the old timers are going to time out, and nobody will be there to replace them.
It isn't just money. I also think fewer young people have an interest in learning these skills. I guess as we become old timers we had better find people to mentor so they can take over from us.
Great to see progress on the ancient Italian machine - and great to see your employees having some camera time. Also - hope the other dude who left - soon finds a replacement. The BAD WIZARD phrase should be put on a T-shirt - along with the graphical wizard face from the intro - and a leaf of cannabis... in a Ferrari shield (instead of the horse). Here in Latvia I've seen two times stickers on old Volvos - yellow stickers formed like the ferrari shield - but instead, the text (in Ferrari font, of course) says VOLVORATI or something - and there're a moose - or an elk (god only knows the difference) instead of the prancing horse. So the final pitch for the T-shirt goes like this: Wizard's face from the intro - along with the huge glasses - in background, and in front of that - huge yellow Ferrari shield with a cannabis leaf inside - formed somewhat like a horse - and the text BAD WIZZARI in ferrari testarossa font underneath. Millions in profit in one week. Cease and desist letter from Ferrari in the next.
I'm sure you are aware of him, Scott at Ratarossa is a great source of Ferrari info and parts. He has worked with Samcrac and others. Maybe he can point you where to find the missing 308 parts. Good luck with the build. Who knows, you might need "his and hers" 308's with Mrs. Wizard. Enjoy the channel and keep it up.
I can think back to how many clutches l have changed except for the last two clutches l had them done by a workshop but the clutch on your Ferrari 308 what a breeze do easy l was thinking of to make a clutch replacement easy and Ferrari did it l am impressed and if l see a Ferrari 308 driving around l will think to myself a very easy clutch to change
If you soak the old oil filter in paint remover, you'll find that it is a Fram, Bosch or Mahle with a different parts number from the Ferrari Filter. Found that out in 1983 by leaving a Ferrari filter in the parts washer. It was a Fram. Ferrari makes you pay for paint job with the horse.
Sounds like your crew is very intelligent.... I have not had any Ferrari cars yet...but dam.. those folks where thinking when they built that engine... Cool
Looking forward to seeing the front lower valance/airdam repainted. Also, send the car to Van Go for a full paint detail as the final step in the project?
Cant wait for the dyno. I bet 255.4hp out there on a good tune, wonder how much of a difference will the injection offer, IMO it will contribute more to the torque at low revs an some midrange than to the max horsepower
Daniel is doing a great job there, you should do more videos with him where he explains some of the Ferrari stuff :) can't wait to see this 308 running on the road. Oh please film the Dyno please
May I suggest - find a local high end detailer that will dry ice clean the undercarriage, wheel wells and engine bay for you on this car if you highlight their work on your channel. It's so exciting to see an older car look new again.
Stanceworks is doing the K24/turbo swap along with a LOT of other work. Personally, I'd take one of the Focus RS engine/transmission combos for a swap... It's a completely modern engine that makes 350ish hp.
It’s interesting that before CAD CAM Ferrari was able to make a car that was better to maintain than the ones made with CAD CAM. I guess they just don’t give a damn about maintenance. Better for business to make a disposable car for rich people.
If you do need a alternator wizard the best place I've found for all my ferrari parts is Superformance, I recently bought a F40 alternator that cost about £ 325 I'm in the UK but they will ship to the US, I think you can get a new 308 alternator for about 200 dollars plus shipping, just give them a try you won't be disappointed I buy all my supercar parts from them, very helpful and good company.
Mrs Wizard will be happy you fixed her car!

Are the automatic transmissions on the 928 known to have issues or are they just hard to do regular maintenance on them?

Something of a miracle to get an old Ferrari running. Congratulations, Wizard
And Daniel son!
I think there’s more motivation to get your old Ferrari going than, say your old Volvo.
"No LS swap! Bad Wizard!" needs to go on a T-shirt with a picture of the Ferrari. That's an instant classic!
Daniel-san is such a win for the wizardry... I love the ferrari, and i'm happy to see it screaming on the dyno again

The gear set for transferring power from the clutch to the transmission looks a bit like the setup in a quick change rear end.

These 308 videos are my favourite. If you can, keep this one. The rest of your fleet can go😊

If I'm not mistaken Saab had an even easier clutch to replace. Didn't even have to remove the bell housing if I remember correctly.
Nice car! The one in the background is cool too!!
That is one big drive train... Love it!
Can’t wait to see it on the road Wizard!!
That is a really good bit of design.
I like when the Wizard talks about shafts.
To me that flywheel looks questionable. Looks like it's been used hard. At least get it resurfaced the clutch will work much better.
The transmission has to come out??? Youz Nasty!
