So I have been doing some reading, and I have read the MC Shift is an automated sequential manual….great
So then I start to look at sequential manuals, which seem to differ from H pattern manuals and have a single shifter (connected to a selector drum) that use selector forks to move dog gears (which are instead of synchros). All seems good
Then I see a guy working on a Ferrari F1 gearbox (which I think are the same/similar to ours?) and there are three shifters – like a traditional gearbox would have. Checking spares sites I don’t see any dog gears. Also read that the gearbox has cone synchronisers anyway…
So which is the MC Shift? An H pattern shifted box – just automated with hydraulics (and only referred to as sequential as we have paddles rather than a gear stick) or a true sequential?
I’m no gearbox expert – this is all google/youtube info. Just interested in how these things work….
Cheers!
