Subject: [Ferrari] Clyde Rules on F-1 gear boxes

 

Ok here are my rules so far

If you have af-1 gearbox use the paddles

There is no doubt in my mind that the adverse clutch wear is done the auto mode

Way too much slipping in 1^st gear, especially at a stop light

And go to Neutral at all stops

Basically treat it like a slush box

I short sift around 2-3 k

Whats surprised me the most the pressure of the gear box 725PSI !

Holly Sh*t that’s a lot

 

Also if you have non ethanol gas in your area USE IT!

The seals around the fuel pumps eat away

So find the stuff and use it

Lots of weight up front so plan on replacing brake pads
