Engine suddenly shuts off

[Wanderer]

Yeah, I don't think anyone is disputing it's fine on manuals. The human leg is smart enough to work out the difference. Sadly the CC TCU appears to struggle with anything that does not have exactly the same friction properties.
I say appears because there's not a single know case of someone successfully installing a re-furbished clutch in a CC car. There might be thousands of them driving around, but the owners are very very quiet

There was a chap on ML who replaced his clutch on a QP himself set it up roughly, and took it to an indy with an SD3 to set it up. Not sure any indy in UK would do that....

I remember Voicey setting mine up on the drive. Not sure there's much difference from the set up like that vs the setup from scratch? But again, not a refurbed clutch?

You need to move the gearbox back to get the back disconnected, the tilting was to make it easier / for clearance at the engine end IIRC

If I do so I don´t have to pull the gearbox or rear axle and/or rear axle support out right? This would save a lot of time I think....

I removed the rear wheel well, unbolted the driveshafts from the gearbox but didn't remove them, unbolted the gearbox from the torque tube and moved it back. There was a guide kicking about somewhere, not sure if it was on here or ML, I did it in 2015. Nothing is particularly difficult, just time consuming. If you follow all reccomendations of what to change while it's apart, you could end up with a massive bill but I wish I'd done the crank position sensor as it's easily accessible with the bell housing off and a total pain in the **** from the top of the engine. Mine failed the year after I'd done the clutch.

Maybe change the oil pressure sender also? They do seem to fail, and I imagine it's also easy to access.

I had now once code P1747 - Solenoid Valve 1 Short Circuit - no information.... is it possible that the solenoid has a short or is not always working properly and that also shuts the engine down?

I´m asking because a maserati dealer nearby told me that a false CPS wouldn´t shut down the engine.

The P1747 occurs just once....

I’m not sure if your Maserati dealer understand the code. The description for P1586 is “engine stop request from clutch ECU”. I find it unlikely they would use those words if the engine didn’t stop.

As for P1747, this is an anomaly with the reverse switch. Or did you mean P1757?

Solenoid valve short could be engine oil getting into the electrical connector.
