    Yes, one of the 2 potentiometers had a dead spot. Dashboard warning light and it would only give 1st, 2nd and reverse.

    Ok so my Ferrari dealer replaced the Potentiometer with the OEM part, everything was good for circa 75km, now the car above 4th gear simply jumps into neutral, no warning lights, which is a tad disturbing, obviously back at dealer but any thoughts please ?

    Possibly @ 22k miles but I will be pretty pissed if they didn't realise both needed doing simultaneously, as thats lots of extra Labor
