Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 456 gt search

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

Sorry guys but I will chime in here. As much as the auto 400 is great (a 
manual 400/412 is pretty much undriveable due to cluth weight) there have been 
a 
LOT of problems with the auto gear box on 456s over here. A full rebuild at 
15,000 miles is COMMON! BTW you can get a NICE 10k mile 456 here for mid 
30's....Nobody wants them!
