    For sale is a rare and complete set of parts needed to complete a conversion from a paddle shift 575 or Super America to a manual shift using all factory original parts. Yes, these parts are expensive but they are basically unobtainable while the price for a SuperAmerica manual shift car is typically more than double that of a paddle shift SA with a similar price difference for the 575 manual over the 575 paddle shift. Parts are pictured below. New shift knob included.

    Price: $35,000 ONO

    Also note, these parts are the main parts needed to convert the 599 to a manual and the other parts needed I may be able to obtain for the 599 conversion.

    Well there’s a price…

    Curious to see how this does. It’s worth noting that the pedal box and pedals are useless for a 599 conversion, but will work nicely in a 575. Curiosity the toe plates on the brake and clutch pedals are mixed up, and don’t appear “normal” to me shall we say. They’re 3 holes wide rather than 4, but who knows what Luigi decided to fit that day.

    The shift bars will also need a fair bit of reworking too for a 599 application, but still useful.

    EAG will be offering a conversion kit for the 575 for $35k. For $35k you not only do not get factory OEM parts, but you don't even get rod shifting which is fundamental to the shift experience! Instead, their kit will have shift cables like every other generic shifter out there. I'd say the ability to purchase the OEM parts that are now impossible to find as they are NLA is a good deal compared to $35k for aftermarket parts that are no way comparable. Interesting to note 575 SuperAmerica's with manual shift are more than double the price of a paddle shift SA.

    I guess there will be a differential in value of 575 conversions with factory parts vs those with aftermarket parts. …..(I don’t want no stinkin’ cables). But, think about it, how many multi million dollar restorations of older and other models are hobbled together with garage engineered replacement parts? And how sure can anyone be about the quality of those parts?

    When it c
    When it comes to Ferraris, I know of none where they don't use factory OEM parts are parts that replicate as precisely as possible the original parts. If you see an aftermarket shifter assembly, for example, from 30 feet away you can see its nothing like OEM. Plus, cables IMO ruin the entire venture.

    How can they fit a cable instead of the rod/shaft? The mechanical experience in my 550 is because you feel a microscopic vibration from the gearbox theough the shift stick...

    So this is 100% of the parts needed to convert my 575F1 to a manual?

    No extra parts, screws, cables, etc, etc.

    Cheers, Mat

    Yes. That said, if there is a nut or washer or something miscellaneous like that it would be readily sourceable form any good hardware store. This is the fully mechanical conversion kit from shift ball to gearbox. I have not seen another set up like this for sale anywhere on the planet in well over a year. I've spoken to leading Ferrari shops here in the US and the UK that have converted SA's to manuals and both say they can't do the conversion now because they can't find the parts....the parts I have.

    Yes! My goof! In that photo is the wrong pedal box. I also have a 355 assembly and that's the pedal box from the 355. I'm taking photos now of the 550 Box and will post it in a few minutes. Thanks for pointing this out so I can post the correct photos.

    I believe I saw something about using the cable in the 599 to get rid of vibration similar to the 550.

    No, it isn’t. But it will get you over the line in terms of the parts that are NLA.

    Pedal toe plates are wrong though- should be 4 holes wide.

    Actually, I have seen both. And in fact, I have both versions, one with three holes and one with four holes. So Buyers choice if they want three or four holes across pedals.
    I've actually seen both pedal plates, but in the interests of 100 % OEM proper part indisputability, I've fitted the 4 hole across pedal plates and I've just take a photo of the 550 pedal box assembly with the 4 hole pedal plates. I've also attached a photo showing the two plates side by side, the three hole is about 5 mm narrower than the four hole (60 mm vs. 65 mm) and their heights are identical. So, depending on a person's shoe size, they can elect 60 or 65 mm pedals.

    George Vosburgh I had another actuator, separate from these parts, for sale. That part has been bought, paid for, shipped and insured.

    George did you actually look at the other listing? What was offered for sale was only the actuator. That's it. What is for sale here is the complete mechanical conversion parts to convert a 575 / 575 SuperAmerica to a manual shift car using 100 percent factory OEM parts.

    Yes, you can buy the only known full and complete 100 percent OEM conversion set up for a 575/575SA here for $35k or you can buy the same set up on Ebay for $39k. Ebay charges a selling fee hence the higher price.

    Please note: the same shifter parts, excluding the pedal box, can convert a 599 to a manual shift and I know the "secret" to modifying the 599 pedal box for clutch fitment. So basically most of the parts needed to convert the 599 are here as well.
