I am hoping to reach as many Maserati Coupe/Spyder owners with Cambiocorsa (F1) transmission, as possible, and would like to hear your experiences, with the aim of summarizing the info for Maserati in Italy.
A number of us have encountered problems with the latest software update - loss of power, engine no longer matches revs during downshifts, etc, particularly for 2002 cars using updated software.
Among the changes myself and Brad have noticed after the upgrade:
- Creep Mode is gone (no more beep when you pull Down in 1st)
- Modulated (limited) engine torque and clutch engagement on launch
- Sport Mode shift speed is slower
- Engine no longer pulls strong past 7,000 RPM
- Engine revs more slowly, takes longer to reach top RPM range, especially in 1st and 2nd gear
- Engine cut-out is 7400 rpm now, which is below the redline. Used to be higher.
- Does not always blip to match RPM on downshifts, especially at high RPM (e.g. 5000), even in Sport Mode. On occasion, rear wheels lock.
- Dyno showed a drop from 335RWHP to 316RWHP
For background info on the above issues, refer to this thread on FerrariChat:

I already have my own info, and Brad’s. It would be tremendously helpful, if all owners post a brief note indicating their experience with regard to the above.
The more data that I can gather, the better. I will be summarizing the problems with the software upgrade and sending this off to Maserati in Italy via my dealer. The idea is to help Maserati understand as much of the specifics of the problem as possible.
Please help by sharing your experiences.
Thanks!
