PEGA Clutch

Part number 194775 is a critical complete clutch assembly used across a storied lineage of front-engine V12 Ferraris, including the 456 GT/M, 550 Maranello, 575M Maranello, and early 612 Scaglietti models. These grand tourers represent the pinnacle of Ferrari’s "2+2" and two-seat luxury performance from the 1990s through the mid-2000s, blending refined Italian craftsmanship with high-revving naturally aspirated engines. While earlier models like the 456 and 550 featured traditional gated 6-speed manuals, the 575M and 612 introduced the widely popular but maintenance-sensitive F1-style automated manual transmission, both of which rely on this specific clutch unit to transfer up to 533 horsepower to the rear wheels. Because of the high costs and rarity of new OEM clutch kits which can exceed $3,000 many owners opt for specialized rebuild services. Professional rebuilders like GTE Engineering and PEGA Clutch restore these assemblies to factory-grade or higher standards, often using advanced Kevlar friction materials that offer superior heat resistance and up to 300% longer life compared to stock organic linings. These rebuilds typically involve precision balancing and performance validation to ensure the smooth engagement necessary for the delicate F1 sensors and the visceral feedback of the classic gated manual.
