ok so my T handle came off on the 575 are there any school solutions for this fix? Image Unavailable, Please Login
There is a kit to replace this out there somewhere. Maybe someone can direct him? Ferrari of ATL will replace it for $800+/-
thanks here is what I have found out so far my car has already had the kit installed and I have looked at other cars and it appears this kit has been installed on other cars as well so its a common issue/repair mine is in the process of being repaired will follow up with the forum on the results Clyde
Looks like there is a 35mm screw that goes in from the bottom and screws into the cross piece. Should be easy to remove the assembly and replace the screw. Maybe a dab of loctite on it this time. See this post: https://www.ricambiamerica.com/guides/rl01-installation-in-f355
Some sources mention 35mm while others say 40mm. in any case I would recommend a drop of blue Loctite on the threads.
I put the kit in the system and it works fine Racambi makes it So far no issues It’s a poor design The newer cars have a push button which is what this car needs
Clyde- Believe it or not, those reverse buttons wear out pretty quickly and there is quite a bit of traffic on the F430 and 599 forums about replacing them. Both the sticky guys provide them. On the Superamerica and 612 with F1A, you can select 1st with the T lever, too, although that is not always a good idea.
Clyde- Nope, not kidding. Dave and Robbie both do good business selling improved R buttons. Probably made by the same folks that make the coating for our switches. The R buttons are made out of relatively soft rubber/vinyl and wear through fairly quickly.
