Thanks Chris! This is a very introduction level video, and its just a demonstration but if you follow the steps it will get a good result.

Awesome mate, thanks for taking the time to do this

Thanks so much for that really good videos. They were extremely helpful to me. My transmission went back in today, tomorrow I hope to finish the job. I really appreciate your videos!

Fabulous video, Love if you could do a demo on Launch x431 pro mini and what it can't do on on v8 N/A Maserati and how to go through way in other Ferrari menu's for example sky hook as they don't do it on launch, there is no video demo on launch and Maserati.

Cool videos fella! Big hello from sunny California. I am curious what does the dbw do and why are we not able to just adjust it to our preference as you have shown without getting the dbw. Seems like you can preserve clutch and quicken Gear shifts the way you have by adjusting?

@ShiftMotoring

The DBW is a piggy back computer for the TCU and is not a diagnostic computer. I don't know exactly how it works and it would take a fair bit of investigation to fully understand it. With that said, I believe the DBW fudges the vehicle speed and RPM to the TCU which causes the TCU to request the highest torque available through an ECU parameter called 'torque request'. You can adjust the torque request parameter in the ECU if you reflash it with a custom tune and get the same effect. I have an install and review on the DBW coming up soon. What I'm doing here is demonstrating how you can change the perceived behaviour of the transmission by adjusting clutch parameters, it would be inaccurate to describe it as making anything faster but it does change the behaviour.

hello. i am not clear on the New Closed Clutch Position . you mention that it is automatically calculated and then you enter in the clutch config. I have been reading that for the New Closed Clutch Position , you have to enter a value manually after measuring new clutch thickness? thanks

Hi watched both your clutch and ball joint videos. Can i order the rear suspension replacement kits from you directly?

PIS is about 5 for new clutches and winds down (tighter due to degrading clutch material) towards 4.5. Car should bite eagerly and be light to move around. My car (F430) drives well at 4.7 on 11k old clutch. A lot of it is about feel. Testing the car when red hot (try engaging reverse) is another way to ensure things are good.

Hi mate. Great video. Thanks for posting. My clutch has just gone in my 2005 Gransport (15 000 kms since replacement, not happy). Can you recommend a clutch that won't fail after 5 minutes use and who the supplier is? Thanks Charles

Awesome content on your channel, thanks so much!! I recently had the rare opportunity to buy a 4200 Trofeo. After watching your videos on the clutch replacement, I purchased a launch 431x pro mini in the hope that I would be able to perform the clutch and ABS bleed. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work. When I scan it, the gearbox gets detected as CFC201 first and second edition, but none of the special functions seem to do anything. Not sure if I am missing something i.e. the car needs to be in a certain state (doors closed, brake engaged, gear selected, etc.,). Feels like I have tried every thinkable combination, with no luck. The ABS does not get detected at all. I am pretty much at loss on how to proceed with this, and I thought perhaps you had some ideas or inputs of what I could try. Unfortunately I have not been able to find anyone that knows anything about the Trofeo cars here in Switzerland.

You can just bleed the brakes the old fashioned way on this, you don't need to cycle the ABS pump. You can try connecting to the Ferrari F430 gearbox settings if you're having trouble with the Maserati options. Jump on the MaseratiLife forums and ask for help there and post up some photos and I'll be able to help you out more!

@@ShiftMotoring thanks for your response. luckily I got the gearbox functions to work. looks like it needed a power drain. it still gets stuck once in a while, but after a power drain it is all fine again. I will get my user setup in the MaseratiLife forum! just a quick one, would you know if the actuator bleed is required after changing the pump? I was recommended to install an upgraded F1 pump strait from the beginning, so that's what I did.

Hi there. I’m looking at buying a 2006 Maserati gransport and was wanting to know. When you are going to stop. Do you pull both paddles to engage Neutral or let it just stay in first gear? Does it automatically disengage the clutch when stopped in gear? Thanks

You might save 1-2% of your clutch life pulling the paddles, but you don't need to. It goes into neutral on it's own when it needs to and it rev matches on down shifts!

Hey, Iv got 07 qp sport gt and for some reason it shifts really hard and stall all the stall when coming to a stop. Iv done everything i can think of ie (f1 pump, f1 relay, solenoid pack, accumulator, sensors, oil, etc.) And it still does this and im wonder if its in the calibration at this point. Was wondering your opinion on this matter. Peter

Usually stalling and hard launch are caused by the PIS being set too tight, won't hurt to look at it.

Hi, my Quatroporte (2005) for some reason is running very hi on engine revolution. I'm talking about almost 3k rev at only 50 mph on the 6 gear. I've seen on youtuve videos that other Maserati don't even reach 1,900 rev at 55mph on 6 gear but my car every single gear is very hi on revolution, feels like every gear reach hi rev with little gas and the transmissions its not slipping or showing any trouble signs. I just bought the car and don't have any previous experience with Maserati. I can't drive over 50mph because the engine is too high on revolutions!!! Any help will be appreciated.

Hi mate thanks for video 💪, Mate I have a tiny question for you,, three days ago me and my brother took his son Mazzi 2002 F1 gearbox and he modified it like crazy it has a 41 kms only still like new , anyway so we stop filling petrol , we start cat fantastic with no drama and my brother let it roll then he shift to 1 we want to take off it take of 1 meter then it won’t go on gears at all 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️,, We parked aside to see what happens, car won’t shift at all no sound for gear click as it should be it just stays on N” we turn it off then he try’s to start it unfortunately it won’t starts at all 🤦‍♂️ we check all kind fuses an relay nothing burned fuel pump is new ,, we put it on scanner it give us Code P1747: Reverse Gear Switch Absent ?

You have to be careful with that tool, it's easy to burn the TCU, it's a very common problem with it. Next time try PEGA Clutch in your Maserati.

Definitely a myth regarding burning out the TCU. There is no direct connection between scanner and the TCU, and it can only communicate via the CANBUS with the input value protected at the TCU side. If you want to send me a PEGA clutch I'll try it out and review it. I went with an OEM clutch because the PEGA clutches have negative reviews and it was too expensive for me to test and not be happy with it!

And sure, I don't have a huge subscriber base but my other clutch videos have 4000+ views so people do watch them. If you send me out a PEGA clutch I can test it back-to-back against a brand new OEM clutch and give an honest opinion of what I think is going on. It really is up to you whether you see any value in having someone go over your clutches in detail and comparing it against the OEM unit publicly. Of course I'll read information on forums, people share their experiences and issues so that I can learn from their mistakes instead of making my own! It is very expensive testing every possible combination so I have to choose what I focus on - this is a hobby, not a job. I purchased my new clutch from Barbagallo's parts in Perth, Western Australia, for ~$1600AUD. For me it was substantially more cost-effective to buy the OEM Valeo unit with a local parts warranty and an approachable supplier. All these videos are shared on forums so that people can learn from my mistakes as well as my successes.

Sorry it took so long to reply, youtube was being weird and I couldn't see all comments! The clutch is the OEM unit, the manufacturer is Valeo. I purchased it directly through Maserati/Ferrari in Australia for the equivalent of $1150USD. If I had bought a PEGA clutch I would've also had to pay import duties and shipping which would've far exceeded the cost of the new part. It was something I looked into, and I was willing to try but it was uneconomical, coupled with uncertainty over the reputation of the parts. It is good that Samrac is playing with a 360, hopefully he has a positive experience with the part and can share that experience with others! I however am not a 1m subscriber channel, I'm an enthusiast doing work on my own cars. The people who watch my videos own the same cars as me, the people who watch Samrac will likely never own a Ferrari or Maserati. If you want me to review the part for other owners, send one out and I will provide an honest review for others. Until then, the reviews that I've read are all I have to go off of.

That isn't how it works. It will change between each vehicle depending on the tolerances between the parts. The PIS isn't the goal, the clutch slip is the goal.
