My Ferrari dealer told me that a clutch can be damaged quite easily, even within 5,000 miles with fairly "normal" use ^ normal use meaning city driving, a few fast pull away etc. Apparently, driving uphill or parking manouvers that require a lot of gear changing are not good for F1 type clutches. In fact, I was told that I should NOT buy a F1 car for my home because of the parking! Get it checked out asap. Since you have not had it for long you should get it covered in warranty - have you done many miles since you got it? Another thing, I once did when a dealer said "your car is fine sir", I went to another dealer in a different car and specifically, tried out a car with similar mileage to mine and felt how the clutch was!



And my dealer told me that they don't have any issues with the clutch of the F430 at all. Not even at their Challenge cars. He said the clutch of a F430 should last for AT LEAST 30.000 km.
