Sorry guys. No offense but you couldnt be more wrong or sound much sillier making uninformed statements like those. As always, Skidkid and Taz...
The Kevlar and carbon fiber clutch plates can be (and have been) made to work in a Ferrari F1 system. The fundamental problem is that the surface...
Weve attended Pebble Beach, Amelia Island and various other concours around the country for years and all the above comments are right on. These...
My opinion of such an arrangement is not favorable. It sounds like you are being asked to purchase a complicated and expensive car without ever...
The search function is your friend on this. The issue has been discussed at great length around here so there is plenty of good experience and...
Same as my 360 and all the other 360s and 430s Ive driven. Its certainly not the F1 pump pressure as pretty much nothing at all will happen...
It seems like the PIS would have to be pretty whacked out to affect shifting that way but its certainly feasible. Please let us know how it goes...
Yes, this is a classic early symptom of the F1 clutch nearing the end of it's life. In any case you should get to an experienced shop with an SDX...
360 F1 clutch engagement between gears is normally butter smooth regardless of RPM until you approach red line. Its unlikely that interaction...

Another possibility not mentioned so far is a failed clutch position sensor. This usually happens exactly as described above (i.e., everything...
No. Auto mode simply decides when to shift instead of the driver making that decision. Clutch wear is not affected by F1 auto mode in spite of...
As always, Skidkid gives pretty much the best advice youll get around here. The amount of 360 F1 clutch wear attributable to shifting is...
Yes, a super-primo series originally released in the early 50's when everything was still very real and fresh in the minds of those who lived it....
This topic has been covered extensively around here so the search function is your friend on this. IIRC (which I may not), I dont believe there...
Most excellent my friend. But why so few?
Actually, I think "inevitable" IS appropriate. Except for that, Steve has summarized the situation well and I think his advice is very solid....
If youre buying it for the next guy, the car with 8K miles may (or may not!) be better. It costs more to buy and will cost more and take longer...
