    If you have to rev until 2500 RPM in order to move the car on the 1st gear does it means it need a new clucth? The car also won't automatically shift down (usually it does) when I slow down from higher speed (I have to do it manually). On top of that the car doesn't automatically shift to neutral when in 1st gear (idle positition/not pressing the gas pedal).
    How much is the cost to replace the complete clutch for the F355 F1.? Would it be something else beside the clutch:;F1 box etc...?

    Did you try this: (when water/oil warm)

    While moving at a low speed, upshift to 5th and peg it. If the car rpms stay fine and the car moves, albeit sllllowwly under heavy load, you should be fine.

    Next test is the normal, try shifting under high load at 7k RPMs for all your gears. If there is no slippage, surges, etc, your clutch should be fine.

    If you get through these 2 with no issues, your wear level should be fine, and I would suspect a computer software issue instead.

    Yea , it slips and feels heavy on each gear. The mechanic said that the F1 Box sensor already to far off the worn out clutch ,that's why it doesn't tell the box to automatically shift down when decelarate.
    It looks like I have no choice but to replace the clutch whic they said it will cost me $1.7K (USD).

    Sorry to hear that! :( I was hoping it as a software bug.
