Ferrari SF90 Roma 296 Paddle Shifters Purosangue Carbon F1 817753

the part number 817753 refers to the Extended Carbon Fiber F1 Paddle Shifters for Ferrari’s latest generation of vehicles, including the SF90 (Stradale/Spider), Roma (Spider/Coupe), 296 (GTB/GTS), and the Purosangue.

These paddles are part of the “new era” steering column architecture where the paddles are mounted to the column itself (non-rotating) and finished in high-gloss carbon fiber with “UP” and “DOWN” markings.

1. Technical Identification & Compatibility

• Part Number: 817753 (often sold as a pair/set).

• Compatibility: This part is interchangeable across the current Ferrari “Human-Machine Interface” (HMI) lineup. Because the SF90, Roma, 296, and Purosangue share the same steering column geometry, these paddles fit all four models perfectly.

• Construction: Made from lightweight pre-preg carbon fiber with a high-gloss UV-resistant clear coat. They feature the classic “F1” elongated shape for easier gear changes during high-speed cornering.

Since these are high-visibility “touch points” in the interior, they are a popular upgrade for cars that came from the factory with the standard aluminum or plastic paddles.

3. Installation Details

• Difficulty: Moderate. While the paddles are external to the steering wheel, they require the removal of the steering column shroud (the “clamshell”).

• Sensors: The 817753 paddles house the micro-switches that send the shifting signal to the 8-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). In 2026, it is highly recommended to test the “click” feel before final assembly, as the magnetic return springs must be perfectly aligned.

• No Software Required: Unlike steering wheels or displays, paddle shifters are simple “switch” components. They do not require VIN-coding or Ferrari DEIS calibration, making them an ideal DIY upgrade for experienced owners.

4. 2026 Maintenance: Ergonomics & Wear

• The “Click” Quality: Over time, heavy use can cause the internal micro-switches to lose their tactile “click.” In 2026, specialized shops offer “tactile upgrade kits” for part 817753 that provide a heavier, more mechanical feel similar to a GT3 race car.

• Fingerprint Cleaning: Because they are high-gloss carbon fiber, they are prone to smudging. Owners are advised to use an anti-static microfiber cloth and avoid using rings on the shifting fingers, as metal rings can easily chip the clear coat on the edges of the carbon.
