That is exactly what they told me at Continental motors. The fuid is very cold and need warming.
Ferrari of Atlanta stated the computer needs to be reprogramed to the temps in St. Louis.
For now I guess I will not use the car unless temps are above 38 to 40.
It is scary to feel te car seize like that .It is unbelievable !

I know the basics of how the F1 transmission works with the clutch and pump and all, but I'm not all that familiar with symptoms of problems. Maybe it just needs to warm up a little (kind of like how it's hard to shift when a manual is cold). I doubt that clutch is slipping, it might just be a little rough because all the fluids, etc. are very cold.

Is this with or without a ten minute warmup?

My 1998 F355 F1 has a problem when temperatures fall under 35 . Upon engaging either the reverse or first gear ther car shakes violently , it is almost like the clutch is slipping.
After driving the car for a while everything returns to normal.
