Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 456 issues

456 Transmission IS problematic.  The reverse gear is held in place with a paper clip - - - or was it a bobby pin?  Just shift it nicely and gently.

A coworker asked me about the 456, and I told him it's a wonderful value for a modern V12 F.

 

Just that it has a few potential issues that could quickly add up to the price of the car, hehe.

 

So what were they exactly?

 

I remember something about the windows, maybe windshield too. Also the auto trans could be an expensive rebuild (but nobody wants an auto 456!). 

 

I can't imagine it would be too bad. 

 

Looking at the V12 universe, it looks to be a good value. Even better than the Maranello possibly...
