F355 from cold tips

[spazzaneve]

Hey, just wondering if when using the 355 from cold i should shift 1st - 3rd like you would in a Testarossa?

I usually do when it is very cold as 2nd gear seems quite hard to get in

Thanks, seems like good practice at this time of year.

I just double-declutch and put it into 2nd. Mine goes perfectly easily (although easier with a bit of ddc).

Never had to bother in mine. 2nd was fine regardless of weather.

ok, thanks for the info, it goes in fine, but just though id ask. I figured things had moved on from the Testarossa!

I've found that 3rd can be tricky when cold so go from 1st to 4th!!

Sounds like you should change the gear oil. My 348 was a bh on 2nd shifts when cold, even when hot it was not great. Changed to Redline and it was night and day.

Mines been fine. As long as its had a few mins to warm up before I set off. Then after that its just like any other time of the year!
