F430 issues

Hello there my friends

I just need some helpful information about some issues im facing since the last year with my transmission system.

Its all started the last year with my f430 start to switch to neutral while driving, so the supercar shop replaced the clutch plate.

The few months later I faced a new problem, the gear always stuck on the 3rd when I fully stopped ... no matter what I do gear won't come down to 1st.
So i took it back to the supercar shop ... and he replaced the actuator.

AND a few weeks later i faced another issue..... the slow down and E-diff warning shows up on the dash and the the gear locked on neutral.... so we replaced the e-diff.


And now after one month from replacing the e-diff ....... this morning ‍ a new issue comes up......
When i stopped for the red light, i put the gear to neutral..... but as soon as the light turn green... i tried to put the gear back on 1st to move..but the gear stuck on neutral i was stuck on the road for 10 minutes.... no matter what I do.... the car won't change gears not even the reverse.
So i turn off the engine and the wait for few minutes... then the car start normally .

Anyone had this problem before?
Please any help could be useful before taking it back the supercar shop.


I really had enough with this car, I'm wasting alot of money ...... but don't get me wrong, the F430 was my childhood dream car but with all those issues..... I'm really start to hate it

Best regards
Shin

 

On the face of what you have said it seems to me a lot of money has been spent without checking the basics first.

The first issue you describe can usually be addressed by nothing more than having the F1 system recalibrated. This can be done at either a main dealer, or any decent specialist.
In most cars this is all that is wrong and easily sorted, and cost peanuts to do.

The other issue - E-diff - is usually down to nothing more than the Battery being past it's best.
Easily fixed by installing a new Battery.

Disclaimer - I am not saying this is 100% your issues, but these problems are not uncommon, and usually only require the simplest of fixes to put right. Thus saving you a whole bunch of money.
Golden rule, start with the simple stuff before going balls deep !

 

Similar symptoms on my 2004 575 F1
Solenoids replaced and problem solved.

 

Thankyou my friends for your reply .

Yeah i forgot to say that I have replaced the Solenoids too the same day i replaced the E-diff.

i just got a new issue right now, the check engine just start flashing... and my 430 start shaking.
I parked my car now in the super market parking and turned it off ..... I'll wait for few minutes and then I'll start the engine again ..... i hop i can take it back home.

 

I would be happy to help.see if we can figure this out together

PM me and we can setup a call ...

But I do agree ..seems like parts were thrown without any true diag

But yes ..everything you mentioned above can and will fail eventually but not all at same time

How.many miles do you have

 

Thank you flash32 so much for your reply.
My f430 have only 89 km

First question was accumulator ever changed ?
Where the sensors ( potentiometers) ever changed

Lets do a few tests

Key on , engine off .. how long in between pump cycles , how long does pump stay on ( exact please), how many shifts do you get before pump starts ( 1-n--1-n-1)
Key on engine - do the same
Drive 25 mph start , constant , how many seconds/mins does pump stay off - you may need a diag tool to monitor pump pressure since hard to hear
Do you have a diag tool .. if not get one - thinkdiag2 is a inexpensive subscription based tool
If you have the tool - please tell us all errors stored, clutch solenoid leakage rate ( on and off) , Clutch position from new and clutch calculated position
