Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari Maintenance [Digest, Vol 35, Issue 18

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

For the Auto, yes.  If you get the 5-speed manual, I believe that's made by 
someone else.  Charles Perry would know, he bought a similary unit to convert 
his Corvette from Auto to Manual - same vendor.
 
Who buys a V-12 Ferrari with an Automatic tranny, anyway?  :-)

I think they have a standard GM 400R automatic transmission.  Means trany 
parts should be easier to get.  RR also used that same or similar tranny.
