    just drove back from family dinner and suddenly there is a check engine lights pop out.
    Im not sure about it..is it engine oil or something else?

    as for the clutch,how do we know if the clutch is almost out?took the car to the ferrari authorize dealer and they told me that my clutch left 20%..and I asked them,how do u check ??they told me " we have the tools like barometer to check the thickness of the clutch"..Is that true??And lastly I found out when i drove the car quite hard last weekend for cruizing...the gear suddenly jumps to N..is that the symphtom???

    please advice guys

    thnx

    You can go to a mechanic with an ODB2 reader and have them plug it into the connector under the steering wheel and see what "code" comes up. This will hint at what may be what caused your check engine light to come on. I have a manual so I'll leave the transmission question to the guys with an F1.. but there is a sensor by the clutch on F1 cars that can tell how worn the clutch is.. I've heard when this gets dirty it can prompt a low clutch reading. A worn clutch can cause the car to pop into neutral.. An SD2 reader at the ferrari dealer can definitively tell you the cause of the light.. good luck!

    Yeah after the clutch is changed you have to re adjust the software in the car that handles the engagement of the clutch.
