FERRARI CALIFORNIA T F149 14-17 gearbox complete

the Complete Gearbox for the Ferrari California T (F149) is a 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) developed by Getrag. While the California T (produced from 2014–2017) shares its transmission architecture with the 458 and F12, its internal gear ratios and software are specific to the 3.9L twin-turbo V8 powertrain.

1. Technical Identification & Part Numbers

The part numbers for the California T gearbox have evolved over time as Ferrari refined the internal sensors and hydraulic seals.

• Primary Assembly Part Numbers: Common numbers include 291307, 312444, or the more recent 326555.

• Type: 7-Speed Dual-Clutch (DCT) Transaxle.

• Compatibility: Note that while it physically looks like the “non-T” California gearbox, the internal components and the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) communication protocols are different due to the turbocharger torque curves

2. 2026 Market Pricing (Estimated USD)

Replacing a California T gearbox remains one of the most significant expenses for the model. By 2026, a secondary market for specialized repairs has become the preferred route for many owners.

3. Common 2026 Failure Points

If you are looking for a complete gearbox, it is usually because of one of these “California T” era issues:

• The Speed Sensor Failure: The internal wiring harness (often called the “CCP” or “SAP” sensor) is prone to heat-related failure. This causes the car to lose odd or even gears.

• Internal Hydraulic Leaks: Seals inside the gearbox can fail, allowing hydraulic fluid to contaminate the electronics or prevent the clutches from engaging.

• Parking Pawl Issues: Some units experience a failure in the mechanical parking lock, which can be an internal gearbox repair.

4. Installation & Programming

• DEIS Calibration: Once the gearbox is installed, a full “Clutch Kiss Point” and “Self-Learning” procedure must be performed using the Ferrari DEIS tool.

• Mounting: In 2026, it is standard practice to replace the gearbox mounts (Part #244xxx) during the swap, as the turbo torque of the California T tends to wear these rubber mounts faster than the naturally aspirated models.

• Fluid Service: Use only Shell Spirax S5 DCT1. Specialists in 2026 recommend changing the gearbox oil and filter every 20,000 miles to h
