I bought my 599 ('08) -used- in Dec of 2015 with 9,400 miles. + @ +/- 9,400 miles: Percentage Clutch Wear" reads 26.98% (out of 100). + @ +/-13,400 miles: "Percentage Clutch Wear" reads 39% (out of 100). Accordingly, I wore the clutch 12% during my +/- 4,000 driven miles ownership. No track events, no donuts, no hill climbing ... All in, I figured that the clutch is worn at a rate of 2.87 per driven mile (or 2.87% per 100 miles). Does that correspond to your experience with your car? Does that correspond to the data that Ferrari has for clutch wear on 599s ? Thank you in advance for your kind feedback.
Your math is off by a factor 10. You used 12% per 4000 miles = 0.3% per 100 miles... Extrapolating: 100% ~ 33k miles, which makes sense. Though, they don't always go 100% before needing replacement...
Thanks for the reply, and for the correct Math. Usually, with Ferraris, you never deal with percentile and anything behind the "point". What's important is 99% of the time in front of the "point" (i.e. purchase price, repair cost, maintenance) ;-) Bottom line: you see nothing wrong with the current wear-and-tear. Correct?
Personally, I would not be alarmed if I got 33k miles out of my 612 F1 clutch - would I like more, sure... If I recall correctly, Taz extrapolated the use of his 575 F1 clutch to last a bit longer... Remember, these wear numbers are estimation by algorithm in the TCU, and not actual "measurements".
