    08 F430 F1 spider, only trans issue I ever had was with a low batter and getting all the E-diff/slow down warnings but that has been long gone after battery change. Drove it work in the morning, no issues. On the way home, about 2 km from work, pulled up to a stop light and shifted into neutral. Light goes green and it will not go into first. No beep (as if the brake pedal was not detected), no warnings pop up. I tried to restart the car twice, no help. Then, as I am flailing around with the paddles it starts working again. Must have been stuck for 30-45 seconds, seemed like an eternity with a row of traffic behind me laughing at the stuck Ferrari. Made it another 6km home with no issues.

    I had it inspected for APK (Dutch safety thing) a month ago at a Ferrari specialist who gave it a through look over with no issues. Ideas? Bleed screws?

    Guessing is very hard without any data

    A few things that can go wrong
    Accumulator
    Lazy relay
    Bad Ediff
    Leaking clutch solenoid
    Bad sensors ..most likely not due to 45 second recovery

    It definitely seems like a pressure issue


    Do some timings

    With key on count exactly how long pump stays off and how long it runs
    .let it cycle two times

    Repeat with engine running

    Repeat at 25 mph

    Do you have a diag tool like a launch or thinkdiag?
