Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Transmission / Shifter question

[Dave Craig (dave.craig]

That is funny, I had just the opposite problem.  I use to have an old
Mustang that would jump out of 3rd gear when you let off of the gas.  The
solution (for a few years) was to just keep my hand on the shifter, keeping
slight pressure on it and thereby holding it in gear.

In fact I don't touch the shifter unless I am
shifting, not to minimize wear but rather, because I
grew up driving (and still drive) old British sports
cars that would jump out of gear from this same
pressure.  Just an anti-habit.
