Ferrari Mailing List: Re: No more Ferraris with auto-transmissions??

Didn't the drivers at first complain about the 917 having syncros, saying it slowed down their shifts, and cost them several seconds per lap at LeMans?

to shift, just slide from gear to gear. You get accustomed to the engine sound to match gears.

No syncros?  There is a modern racing transmission that is syncro absent.  Worth 3 seconds in a Lotus Super Seven.  But that said, I gotta concede, counselor, that this trans aint like the trans on that 1924 Amilcar.  heh heh
