Can anyone verify if the earliest generation semi auto gearboxes with gear change paddles on the steering wheel:(Ferrari 639, 640, etc.) had the Magnetti Marelli electronics setup synchronised so the throttle would automatically cut during upshifts? Or was the driver advised to lift the throttle on upshifts himself?
In this video it sounds A LOT like the driver is not lifting on upshifts, yet at the same time it sounds as if the car is not liking it very much. (at 3m14s)
This is quite a specific question and would really require someone very familiar with late 80's, early 90's F1 semi automatic transmission technology.
