It is most likely in the same spot as the Quattroporte, which is by the battery in the trunk on the right side.

So, the Maserati transmission is actually a manual transmission. It has a computer controlled hydraulic actuator on it that does all of the gear shifting. You could remove that assembly and bolt on a Ferrari manual assembly and it would work correctly and without issue.

Sorry, my full time job has been keeping me busy. I'm working on mounting the transaxle as I type this. I'm hoping to have a few things on here before too long.

I believe that they are the same units. I haven't had them in my hands personally to verify.

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit confirmed they are all the same. Anyway, my gallardo actuator is leaking fluid. I need new seals on the upper part if i'm not mistaken. Do you repair them? I can send it to you if so. I am in NYC. (GTE Engineering does "rebuilds" on these but they want you to yank out the entire egear system out and send it to them.. pump, solenoids, accumulator and so on.. I'm not doing that, I can physically see the leak on mine. It's minor but it randomly gives me egear errors) Let me know if possible.

@@NycForgiato Send me a message on insta and we can chat. @hobbling_nurse85

Thanks for the kind words. I am not aware of anyone who sells a kit, I know of a few places that will rebuild the system, but only if the valve body and actuator are still in good inspection condition.

David, thanks very much for the kind words. This may be something I do in the future, but I am hardly an expert on those things and I am worried I would do more harm than good. Just for y own curiousity, what are some of the tools you would like covered?

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit well, all of them,>( sometimes is good to know how to use cutting discs, like push while cutting? or let it cut by itself and you just guide the tool? , how about the temperature, when to stop, same for the driller , maybe just commenting those things on the go is enough....sometimes just to name the tool and a couple of characteristics like power etc... like that cool mini band grinder...don't know how is it called but I saw this tool being used a lot by this jpanesse guy who custom modifies porsches 911's at customers home. Also , talk about choices, what other gearboxes choices you had? I mean, what to look in a gearbox when looking after one, I heard that torque kill gB. not hp. those things are very interesting :) (excuse my english please, regards from Uruguay)

My initial plan is to use the factory Bosch ECU and some trickery, but there are quite a few off the shelf stand alone that can power the engine, and retain factory gauges, etc.

Honestly, it is going to be a bit of a combination of it all. I have a friend who has been designing and developing a shifter that we are going to try. I will still need to modify it a fair amount, but it *should* work.

Sounds interesting for sure. Hit me up on Instagram @hobbling_nurse85

Very slow! I am waiting on the machine shop to get my transaxle back for the end shafts of the torque tube propeller shaft I designed. Once that's done I can get the transaxle mounted into the car and finish up the shift linkage, I hope to have that in work by June.

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit Thank you! Can't wait to see your next episode!

It's a pretty involved job, probably in the neighborhood of 12-14 hours?

I'm actually in the process of building what I need to make this converted to a manual setup. It's in the final stages of manufacturing right now. I hope to have something up soon. It's VERY cool.

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit Is there a way to get in contact with you directly? I'm looking to do a manual conversion using the same transaxle but fit to a car from the factory.

​@@TheIntensiveCarUnit any updates on that? Very cool dude

Thanks. Next major hurdle is the transmission!!

Dude, the 2.0 Ecoboost can be a MONSTER for its size. I daily an F150 Ecoboost and I wouldn't have anything else!

Thanks, I have a few parts waiting to be finished up, but I do believe I have a solid solution. Not without the help of the community, of course.

I have a pretty nifty trick up my sleeve if it works. Just need to make a few more phone calls ;).

@intensivecarunit3833 deffinitely interested in what you have cooking up. I'm looking to do a f136 swap in my 83 ltd, but my hang up is the engine management system. I'll be keeping an eye out on your channel.

It really is impressive in the most ignorant possible design. I've seen some dumb things, but this was one of those "... Huh?" Moments like never before

This sounds like a slipping clutch to me. I know you say the transmission isn't slipping, but these cars operate as a conventional manual, that is controlled by hydraulics and computers. Not from the conventional automatic which is controlled by a valve body and multiple wet clutches. Outside of scanning the codes or knowing what clutch wear is at, I can merely only speculate what could be going on.

I'm not keeping the F1 controller do to size and complexity. The TCU of this system talked with a lot of other systems, ECU, ABS controller, TCU, BCM, and many other things. There are better options, $$$$$, out there that would give you paddle shifting without the headache of dealing with all of the nodes interacting properly.

Sadly, I do not have one as an instructional set. The job wasn't terrible, but I have done a fair amount of really hard jobs working on cars.

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit ok thank 👍

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit Hi can you tell me if I need to drain the gearbox to get it out? I dismantled the front and rear of the transmission tube on the clutch side and the gearbox side, the two axle shafts (wheel) the gearbox and the transmission tube are lowered to about 30 degrees but I have difficulty getting the gearbox out, it turns left and right easily but when pulling it doesn't come out, in my vidéo , the first and second , is your , and two second picture it's my car , could you tell me your opinion, thank you very much,

You do not need to drain the gearbox to remove it. The transaxle itself weighs around 170lbs with all of the actuators, shift selector, etc. you absolutely need to support it with a floor jack, then you will need to separate the transaxle case from the torque tube.

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit ok thank 👍 I make a video tonight for tanks 🙏🏼

Really good question. The main purpose is to understand the engineering behind it, so I can add to my bank of knowledge. You never know when you might need that process theory or the mechanical idea. It could create another idea you wouldn't have otherwise had to problem solve a current issue!

Unfortunately, RUclips doesn't allow messaging. If you provide me an email, I can send you an email, then I'll delete your email comment to protect your email address.

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit I just sent it, but I don't know if RUclips automatically detected it and deleted it. Or I can try to send it chopped up lol

I don't see anything that looks like an email address. You might have to chop it up quite a bit. Break it up with a couple of spaces between symbols and words.

Thanks! There is a LOT more to come in the upcoming weeks!

The F136 is a pretty stout engine, and the price on them is really nice considering the current prices. The F1 system is long gone, and I have an *idea* on an engine management system the should work. But I won't know until I try.

Keep in mind these transmissions were also manuals - so could be converted to manual too. F136 is an awesome engine indeed

That's currently *one* of my works in progress. I have a few angles of attack I am working on to make this happen, but I have a long way to go before I tackle that part of the build.

I dont know how either works, but thanks to your comment, Im extra curious to see how it will work out!!

@@chanesthesia I suspect he'll take the car apart, get lots of views and then will do nothing.

@@tonyhladun9081 A few weeks ago, He has started tackling the torque tube…I think it is episode 15 or 16. What are your thoughts on the fabrication approach on those episodes? I do not know enough about fabricating on CAD and then turning around to do 3D prints for testing components before making the final products. But I find it aww inspiring to see someone creating a race car before my eyes. Always like to hear and see different perspectives! Thanks 👍🏼

Thanks! There is going to be more where that came from!!!

I have many more in plan!

Thanks, it's about to get even more intense!!!

I did remove the gearbox separately. You will want to remove the rear exhaust, disconnect the axle shafts from the transmission, disconnect your electrical connectors, then disconnect the lower transmission support, and you will then be able to lower the transmission to reach the top bolts of the torque tube. Disconnect the nuts from the torque tube, and the transmission should come out.

@@TheIntensiveCarUnit thank 👍
