    This has happened to me twice now in 4 years. Now it did it again this AM.

    Get in car, turn key to start and the tranny light stays lit and a solid 5 second beep sounds. No gear selection possible. Can hear pump running in the back.

    The cause: Last drive I turned the car off while the wheels were still moving ever so slightly.

    The result: A confused set of sensors for the F1 system.

    The cure:
    Key out of car
    Put foot on brake and hold it.
    Turn key to accessory position and wait a moment.
    With foot still on brake, turn key off.
    With foot still on the brake, start the car.
    Viola...all better.

    I wonder how many tow jobs & dealer repair bills have transpired as a result of this over the years? It is a bit unnerving at first as visions of dollar bills dance in your head.

    A friendly public service announcement to all you 355F1 drivers :)

    This is appreciated! I got a great message from a guy when j asked about my F1 slip in first. My Ferrari dealer said I had 65% left in the clutch but it needed replacing. After I did the calibration suggested while sitting in the car with the key, I haven't noticed any slip.

    I'll print this out as well.
