    From what everyone says use 4x 75w90 and 1x MTL.
    This right?
    And you all say that the 2nd gear shift improves.

    Alright Mike. All done. Added Redline to the gearbox. I never drove it beforehand cuz I just bought the car but apparently second gear was very tough for 5 minutes till warmed up so I hope this has improved it or made it drive like a normal car thanks everyone for your help sorry to drag the song again and again and again but I'm new I have never owned a Ferrari I just don't want to break it Image Unavailable, Please Login

    The next thing I'm going to Taco is the tune-up spark plugs cap and rotor seems to be pretty straightforward.

    Just being a new Ferrari owner for about 3 weeks I'm pretty impressed at how this car is built it looks very clean underneath 84000 km anything I should be doing to this car at that time Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Just drive it and enjoy it. Be aware of fuel smells (fire risk), and look out for leaks and listen for strange noises :) If you don’t know when the timing belts were last changed I would do those sooner rather than later.

    T.belt was done in 2016 at 1000kms ago.
    But I have noticed oil sweating around the cam gears. And what about the plastic cam gears ....should they be replaced at all.....and should i do t.belt. I feel I should...

    Look for cracks in the cam pulley side guides (“fences”) and if none change belts at 5 years. If lower cam drives are leaking I would loosen belt tensioners and check lower pulleys for play.

    I think the cam seals are.leaking anyways. Son will need to find a good detailed procedure for repairs.
    What about the plastic cam gears....should I replace them. They are old...but I havent heard of them cracking or exploding

    The plastic fences are known to break. Check them for cracks with dye penetrant. I have adjustable aluminium sets and so do others. Check the belts wrap fully around any new pulleys as the Dayco S tooth is not the same as the standard ISO “L” profile so some pulleys are wrong (I have some of those going cheap :)

    This thread has wandered away from the original topic of shift seals.

    I replaced my shift shaft seals with original O-rings. Works like a charm.

    All worked out. Test drove it today. Shifts perfect in all gears and 2nd is perfect. No leaks..at least today. Now onto t.belt.
    Anyone know were to get a repair manual or pdf o repairing the car. I have the original owners yellow handbook but looking for more detailed instructions.

    I just replaced the shift shafts seals in my 84 QV using Superformance seals and gaskets .No more oil leaks , the original seals were more like plastic than rubber and took alot of effort to pick out.Thanks to all that posted advise here.
