Rob, my old 360, last I heard, had done 90,000 km first clutch. I had it from 30 to 70,000 and sold it to another Ferrari guy. At 90T he said it was still fine. My thoughts inline with yours. Very careful off the line. BTW I did track days in that 360. General driving, I would sit at lights in neutral. Coming up to a red light, throw into neutral. Try to never reverse up any sort of slope/incline. I would also advice to check the ends of battery cables into alternator, they fray. If too bad, then will ground, maybe cause a fire or, in my case grounded and fried alternator. Always do all fluids properly. On service check torsion on bolts around timing belts rollers, they come loose. Alarm unit, not remote, change battery before failure as the battery can leak and destroy motherboard, this is bad. Oh and get some smile removal cream and buffer, you will need that.

[@Airplane_Willy]

Rob, you ever dealt with Midwestern Auto Group in Ohio? I worked there when I was 20 years old or so. This is why I watch your videos. Damn near put a Porsche 911 Turbo in the ditch the first time they told me to go get gas down the street. The light was changing red and I was turning left and pegged the gas. I luckily was able to save it while I fishtailed down the road a thousand feet or more. Still some of the best memories from way back when. Driving Bentley's, Ferrari's, Porsche's. Guy was revving it up at a stop light on the way back from the gas station. I was in a Ferrari Boxer. I lit his ass up while he sat at the green light missing gears. Never had one single day's training in a manual transmission. Man, those were the days. Turning heads driving locally in someone's bad ass car. I was young and probably drove someone else's car a little too hard a time or two. That's the kind of shit you don't forget as someone that has never even been in vehicles like that.

Funny, that sounds exactly how the transmissions in Forza act like when you’re in manual shifting.

He said hill starts, loading on a transporter and in traffic. How does that translate to Forza? Genuinely curious.

[@Kenny32441]

[@TroyHR123]

@@gordonbombay676 In Forza, the manual and manual with clutch recognises an analogue spectrum of clutch positions, the game is coded to only function on an engaged or disengaged binary basis. With the manual option without clutch option, if you keep the throttle pinned between shifts Forza just sends the revs pinging on the limiter, instead of cutting throttle like a real DSG or robotic manual. Manual with clutch I have found is super clunky for reasons already explained RE binary but lifting off throttle momentarily can help. Almost universally racing games assume you will drive around at 100mph+ everywhere (project cars: you can actually launch the car of the clutch without throttle input; proving there is some level of analogue clutch actuation modelled in game) therefore moving away from a stand still requires excessive amounts of revs maybe due to the binary nature of how the clutch engagement typically works in these games which could be confused with huge clutch slip.

[@captaingordon]

When you open the door, just use the latch to release it from the frame, then switch your fingers/hand grip off the latch and pull from the actual door. Those latches are another weak link, not meant to be pulled on other than again, releasing the frame catch.

[@daveanderson6248]

Five year 360 Spider owner here. Rob did cover most of the quirks; one that he did miss (although covered in a different video some years back) is the sticky button syndrome. Apparently all the Italian cars from that period (yes, including Lambos) had the same problem, the knobs and buttons get very sticky after a while - annoying as hell. You can pull 'em all off and send them to some outfitin Florida that will be happy to fix them for about $600. Don't waste your money; denatured alcohol (NOT regular isopropyl rubbing alcohol) takes it right off - did all of mine in my garage in about an hour and a half. These cars were built when they first really started to put a lot of electronics in and some questionable decisions were made. That alarm (actually called an immobilizer) is - as he says - a major source of embarrassment when you get in, forget to hit the button on the fob first, and the starter just spins like there's something wrong with your car. As far as clutch, yes, avoid anyone else try to handle the car whenever possible, avoid using reverse as much as possible, and try to NEVER use it uphill; the clutch never fully engages and you will smell burning clutch within about ten seconds. As Rob says, it is not an automatic; it is a manual transmission with a 15-year old computer trying to operate it for you.

[@madjh8]

To park a manual you can put the hand brake or/and put in guear, for example first and the car will never move. I haven´t driven a automatic and probaly never own one. I like to choose when I change gears and what the car is doing.

[@CheezyDee]

[@yargable]

I've been told by several mechanics that the 360 and a few of the Maseratis of the same era with the F1 transmissions are always slipping the clutch when you are using the reverse gear... so to save your clutch, avoid reverse as much as possible.

[@ke0kie]

100% my 360 experience the same, personally I avoid using reverse..and only blip it to make the car move...and I only do gentle pull off from stop until clutch is obviously fully engaged. No parking on inclines either..this is all because of the early F1 tech.

[@Segafishy]

I've got the SMG gearbox in my E46 and I've lost count of the amount of times I've been called back because they can't get it to start despite me even offering before I go to show them how it works, best way usually to explain it is if somone else is operating the clutch pedal for you. The other thing that bugs me is when they shake the selector to check it's in neutral despite being told theres no actual linkage, its basically a glorified joystick so you need to check the screen or make sure its pushed to the left and cant pull down.

[@djm_852]

You’re supposed to park it in gear. That’s why it beeped when you shut it off at 3:50 to warn you it’s still in neutral. Mine lives in an underground car park with a steep incline so I end up making a lap of car park to make sure the clutch is fully in before tackling the incline, lol. Another tip: don’t let passengers close the door on the glass, messing up the window alignment.

[@superspeeders]

Parking in gear sometimes it doesn't like starting up, because it is in gear. Gallardos I always park in gear, the 360s always neutral.

[@djm_852]

@@superspeeders that is true. I find it will automatically shift into N on startup about 50 percent of the time. I’ve got into the habit of shifting to N myself when I get in. Assuming the F1 pump has primed up. Then it’s time to put the hood down, which works 46 percent of the time every time.

Moral of story, you may think you are a pro, but if someone wants to tell you how to do it right, listen to them.

[@jjustyyn_2335]

Hi CJ, Rob did a great job breaking down the basic usage of this car in particular. Knowing how to work the paddles, and even knowing how a transmission engages and works is extremely important in many early 2000’s supercars. The average cost of breaking even basic parts can easily run you a paycheck, so a general rule of thumb is just to be extremely delicate with cars like this and all supercars overall. “Modern” (what I consider modern) supercars, or ones made in the early-mid 2010’s were made a bit more user friendly and from then to now they’ve only gotten easier and more reliable in operation. Don’t be afraid to ask questions when jumping behind the seat, a simple word of caution can literally save you thousands!

[@DDT997]

So never driven a 360 but I’ve driven newer paddle shifter like C7s and a 458. I’m assuming you also should let off the throttle for a moment when shifting not to burn up the clutch either or does it cut the throttle electronically enough to shift smooth?

[@time2driveohio151]

When driving dual clutch cars like you mentioned you do not need to let off the throttle however in single clutches it does help to not wear the clutch as much due to making the shifts less harsh.

[@DDT997]

Correct you don't want to stay on the throttle when you're shifting casually, But if you shift over 7,500 RPM and sport mode you can stay full throttle

That is what most people get: exotics are fragile. Making something light has a downside. When you tell people that they understand, but normally don't think about it. "It's expensive, so it's string" is probably their thinking (Btw: I drive a Lotus)

[@Lexor888]

Can somebody elaborate about the "you have to make it go into gear first" thing? I've never driven such a thing. Let's say you are standing at the lights and want to start really quick, but you don't wanna use launch control, what do you do? He said you can't just smash the pedal to the metal because it only lets the car rev high without engaging the gear/clutch...

[@lilchopin1]

You'd probably have to rev it up in neutral then shift the paddle to 1st. But that would, as Rob would say, completely roast the clutch.

[@djm_852]

@@lilchopin1 it’s hard to describe but when you shift it into first it’s like putting a manual shifter into first with the clutch pedal down. The rpm the clutch engages at is based on throttle position, so when you start to press the throttle with the car in first it gradually engages the clutch. If you press gently it’ll smoothly engage at about 1500 to 2000 rpm. If you want to takeoff quickly and press the pedal hard it’ll rev higher maybe 3 to 4K rpm and engage the clutch (which is faster but jerkier if you don’t carefully manage your throttle input)
