The Ferrari Manual.
A gated six-speed conversion for Ferrari's F1 platforms. Less than 30 days in the shop. One year warranty. Built in Las Vegas.
The gated shifter defined an era. We're bringing it back.
Ferrari built the gated six-speed for four decades before F1 replaced it. Lap times went down. So did driver involvement. We put the gate back.
Engagement
Open metal gate. Weighted throw. A clutch pedal. The shifter every road Ferrari had from the 250 GT through the 599.
Reliability
Retires the F1 pump, actuator, and TCU. The single most failure-prone system on the platform. Fewer parts, fewer failures.
Value
Gated manual Ferraris consistently trade at significant premiums over their F1 counterparts at major auctions. A restoration, not a modification.
The Process.
Intake & Inspection
Full vehicle audit. Baseline diagnostic report delivered before any work begins.
F1 Removal
Decommission the hydraulic actuator, pump, and TCU. Clutch and flywheel inspected.
Gated Installation
Precision-fabricated open metal gate, linkage, pedal box, and master cylinder installed to spec.
Calibration & Tune
ECU reflash, driveline calibration, and full torque-spec verification.
Road Certification
100 mile mixed-condition test protocol. Delivered with a certificate of build and one year warranty documentation.
Every platform evaluated individually.
Not every Ferrari is a conversion candidate. We evaluate each vehicle by platform, mileage, and mechanical history before committing to a build. Reach out with your VIN and we will confirm eligibility.
F355 Berlinetta · GTS · Spider
F1 to gated six-speed. The last of the small-displacement V8 Ferraris and where the F1 automated manual first appeared.
360 Modena · Spider
F1 to gated six-speed. The last mid-engine V8 Ferrari where the gated manual and F1 were factory options on the same platform.
F430 · Spider
F1 to gated six-speed. The final V8 platform where a gated manual was originally offered from the factory.
575M Maranello
F1 to gated six-speed. The last front-engine V12 where the gated manual was a factory option on the same chassis.
599 GTB · GTO
F1 to gated six-speed. One of the rarest and most sought-after V12 conversions. Only a handful of gated 599s exist worldwide.
612 Scaglietti
F1 to gated six-speed. Grand tourer V12 platform. Long wheelbase 2+2 with excellent conversion candidacy.
Priced by platform.
The Ferrari Manual Conversion is priced by chassis. V8 platforms follow a fixed starting price. V12 platforms are quoted individually due to their engineering complexity and rarity. Additional services quoted separately.

The questions we hear most.
Answers straight from the shop floor. Anything not covered here, we respond within one business day.
Does the conversion affect the car's value?
Gated manual Ferraris consistently trade at significant premiums over their F1 counterparts at major auctions. On rarer platforms like the 599 GTB, the delta can be substantial. Full build documentation is delivered with every car.
What's your warranty and what does it cover?
Every build includes a one year, unlimited mileage warranty on the shift mechanism, gate assembly, linkage, and pedal box. Serviced by the same technicians who performed the original conversion.
Is it street-legal in all 50 states?
Yes. The conversion has no impact on emissions, safety, or lighting systems. Vehicles are returned with the same registration and titling as they arrived.
Do you handle transport?
Enclosed transport can be arranged to and from any location in the continental US.
Which platforms are supported?
F355, 360 Modena and Spider, F430 and F430 Spider, 575M Maranello, 599 GTB and GTO, and 612 Scaglietti. Other Ferrari platforms considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact us with your specific vehicle for a feasibility review.
What if my car needs additional work during the conversion?
Sometimes we find work worth doing while the drivetrain is already out. Motor mounts, gaskets, seals, tensioners. When that happens, we do the labor at no extra cost. You only pay for the parts. Your car leaves better than it arrived.
