360 Modena gear box manual - All Ferraris

D6.01 INTRODUCTION
The "F1 Gearbox" transmission was designed with the intent of:
• Enhancing the performances of the mechanical transmission parts.
• Avoiding the control of the clutch pedal and the gearshift lever by the driver without,
however, taking away his/her pleasure of direct transmission control.
• Increasing safety measures through a gearbox system that can prevent human
mistakes and an incorrect use of the transmission control itself.
• Offering the latest release of car interface.
The system is, basically, a mechanical transmission: dry single-plate clutch and
synchronised mechanical gearbox, both driven by a hydraulic interlocking circuit.
There is no need to change the clutch or the gearbox to install the hydraulic actuators
that control the clutch's travel and the gear engagement and selection movements.
Gear shifts requested by the driver or by the automatic control (according to the
selected driving mode) are carried out autonomously by the system, without any need
for the driver to intervene.
The clutch pedal has been removed: the special electronically-controlled levers fitted
behind the steering wheel (as in Formula 1 cars), have replaced the traditional Hshaped
gearbox lever of mechanical transmissions.
