    Has anyone encountered this problem? On 2 occasions now, when at a stoplight i have the Car in Neutral. Light turns green, foot on brake flip the paddle.....Nothing..flip the paddle again....Nothing. Start flipping the paddle like i'm trying to fly.. after what seems to be an eternity (really i think 5 seconds) car engages in gear. I wonder if just pulling the paddle and holding it would help? anyone?

    Pulling the paddle and holding it will set an upshift error in the TCU. Hold it about 1 second and release. It can seem a little slow in responding especially with traffic behind you. If that does not do it, have it looked at.

    BTW It is very misunderstood but, there is no benefit to the car to putting it in N at stops.

    On the 360 the clutch stays compressed anytime the car is running and not moving, neutral or not.

    I believe you but it is odd compared to the stick. In the owners manual specifically recommends to put car in neutral and also not ride the pedal at all. Apparently the TO bearing will be activated with slight pressure on the pedal. Why would they do it differently for the F1?

    I know, you are correct but the F1 holds the clutch down all the time at a stop. It was not something they taught us. I found out by accident during a warranty diagnosis a few years ago. 355 does not do it. Have never taken the time to see if a 575 does but I suspect so.
