MANUAL CONVERSIONS
We specialise in V12,
Montezemelo-ero Ferrari
Reviving the iconic manual driving experience
Borne from a passion for the traditional manual gearchange experience, Out of the Gate provide individual parts as well as complete conversion kits for owners of Ferrari 599, 575, 355 and 612 models who wish to replace the clunky and unreliable F1 system with the classic and evocative open gated manual gearshift.
Our V12 manual
conversion kit
Each conversion kit comprises several key components:
- A gearshift turret assembly
- Gear linkage bars
- Gearbox Control plate
- Clutch pedal and hydraulic control components
Also supplied are high-level fitting instructions and details of wiring modifications required. We pride ourselves on guiding every customer with the help and advice needed to make their conversion a success.
Our conversions are 1:1 replicas of OEM Ferrari
The intent for each part is to reproduce the function and feel of a factory gated car as closely as possible. This means that the vast majority of the parts are 1:1 interchangeable with OEM parts, thus providing the most faithful experience available in a manual conversion.
Precision machined to maximise feel
The shift turrets are CNC machined from billet aluminium to exacting standards, and are directly interchangeable with all of the OEM Ferrari parts. The gear linkage bars are solid metal rods, linked with a special damper block to prevent transmission of unwanted vibrations back into the gearstick, whilst allowing intimate feel over the engagement of each gear.
Installation
Installation of the conversion kits is normally carried out by experienced Ferrari technicians, however can be accomplished by a similarly skilled DIY enthusiast. In all cases, Out of the Gate will supply guidance and troubleshooting support to overcome any issues that may arise. This includes provision of wiring and coding instructions (though electronic reconfiguration is provided separately).
