Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F-1 transmission replacement

Clyde notes “The 456 is a good temperate climate car in my opinion”

 

Oh - Don’t be too rough on the reverse gear or it will blow off its shaft.  Its mounted in what a good engineer would say – incorrectly.  When in use the tooth cut pressures the gear against the bobby pin holding a washer and away from the sturdy trans case.  Instead of the other way in which the little R gear would be driven “into” the transmission case housing.

Ah well . . . get that fixed along with the windows.

Nice looking car tho
