    Hi all friend around here and happy New Year

    I really need some help from a ferrari veteran owners ^_^.

    I finally got my childhood dream car a Ferrari f430 few weeks ago, and Im really happy with it and its drive so smoothly .

    But last night something really weird happened to me, When i stopped the car for the red light.....The car down shift from 6 to 5 to 4 normally.... but then its just stayed on 3 while the fully stopped !!! Then its rest it self to neutral by its own, this issue happened to me three time.

    after the 3rd time I decided to take it back home because Im not sure what all this about but, i hope nothing serious.

    By the way the previous owner already replaced some parts in the car with brand new ones:
    E-diff
    f1 pump motor
    thrust bearing and pilot bearing.




    Thanks friend for all your time

    You’ll need it diagnosed by someone with an SD3. A common indicator when the clutch is in need in replacement is the tranny popping into neutral on its own.

    I agree with Bob. Take to someone with the proper equipment to check all of the clutch settings. In my experience, it usually needs a clutch when that happens.

    I agree with Bob and everyone, take it to the dealer, they will hook it up to an SD3 and determine whats the likely culprit.

    Could be a worn clutch, or battery issue.

    Congrats on your F430! I love mine.

    It could also be the F1 potentio meter.
