812SF Gearbox issue

[garystoybox]

Oh well, interesting one at the weekend when out for a little tootle.
20 minutes into my drive the car decided to throw a gearbox failure warning, with my instantly losing 1st & 3rd gear. Managed to get it home ok, but fault wouldn’t clear and it was trailered off to my local dealer. Initial investigations and error codes have Ferrari instructing gearbox removal and strip. These things happen I guess; just pleased that it’s still under the four year factory warranty. Can’t imagine this would be a cheap repair. I’ll update next week when I know more if anybody interested.

Oh, sorry to hear that, hopefully it's a quick job. What is the age and mileage, out of interest?

Just on its 3rd birthday and 7,300 miles.

In the end, this was diagnosed as simply a sensor which had not been sufficiently torqued when the gearbox was built and which had simply loosened over the miles. No parts needed, but a huge labour intensive gearbox removal, strip and reassemble. Biggest wait was for the factory to send over a special jig to support the gearbox during removal. An expensive error by whichever tech was working on the line that day.
