Funny about the clutch, considering the Ferrari clutch failure was the reason he started building cars
Most cars are garbage now and are just marketing and flash ...
@Jared Juggernaut LOL 😆
How D’ya say irony in Italiano ?
The E-gear system is awfully similar to the Selespeed system. The electric motor and pump assembly are exactly the same! But the cluch wear a lot faster on the Lambo. But be aware that your driving style will greatly affect the overall system durability.
Exactly. It’s a sensitive system not tolerant of abuse
Oh my gosh. Thank you. I took good notes on this video for the future to save. Committing to buying this bull!
They are great cars
Whenever the clutch gets replaced on these cars the software usually gets updated to the latest version, 04-05 clutches should last just as long as 06-08. Never had any issues in 27k miles in 3 years, 1 clutch replacement after 20k miles and only $2300 in maintenance prior to the clutch which cost $8.9k with discount and a Kevlar clutch. Overall, very happy! Gets a lot of attention, some good some bad. But drive the things!! These Gallardos make nice dailies and get better the more you drive.
Thanks!
Buttons wearing and getting sticky is not only a baby Lambo thing, the Murcielago has the same issue. Also my 2002 Stilo Abarth has the same problem. It is common on Italian cars
You are right Tim. Also on Ferrariis you get shrinking leather, and other cosmetic issues too.
The clutch is a disaster in these cars. I was looking to get one but every bit of research i've done points to the clutch and the cost of replacing it every 20K kms. I'll stick to a 911. Great video.
Thanks Lee, the clutch really is a weak point and I just replaced mine
@@ECPP I've heard you can get a ceramic clutch that lasts 5 times longer. Have you heard of this?
Best thing is find the right mechanic, Avant Garde Xotics, Mitch and Mark. Have had my manual Spyder for 7 years and car is solid, only one clutch.
Why am I watching this? I can’t afford to even maintain one. LOL
I like how the automated subtitles write "gallardo" different everytime he says it. Guy nardos / guy a dos / geyer notes / guy are those etc.
Ouch
Hello. i really enjoyed your video. what about the 2013 gallardo what issues do they g
have
Good to know ahead because iam planning on getting one thanks
Glad I could help
@@ECPP like Colombo would say just one more thing. Do you change your own oil? and what type of oil O and I'm assuming your using premium gas right.
What year model Gallardos would you think these issues are the most serious? Are the later generations less risky? Like the 12-14s?
Are you coming to the car meet on Saturday, at Casino Yellowhead
You would think that these cars would be supremely engineered to not fail. I still have the first car I financed at 19 years old, I'm 33 the car is a Mazda protégé. It still starts and runs fine.
One would think but it’s the search for efficiency and driving dynamics that sometimes compromise durabilitu
While I know SuperCars is in a different class, it's amaizing how much depreciation most of them have. A 12 year old Toyota could have a 20 grand loss in value with 300,000 miles on it... A 12 year old Gallardo, which I just saw listed in TN, $94,000, almost 100,000 dollar loss with 25k miles on it. You can even pick up a Bentley that used to be 300k for 40 grand
sadly many of them depreciate hard. Likely cause those with money buy again new while those that have t stretch can barel afford or just decide that buying a new "regular car" is safer and more sensible.
@@ECPP Much like non millionaire cars, there are some that becomes some sort of collectors icon. Most of the time it's 50-60 years old. A handful of classic American muscle cars, fully stock, will fetch a high price especially if it's good condition. A friend's dad has an 03 (I think) mustang cobra, very low miles, with the chameleon paint job, worth almost 40 grand. I found a 98 (again, I think) Toyota Supra, fully stock with 40k original miles going for 90 grand.... Then you have the Ferrari 260 GTO which averages between 30-50 million at auction. Why it's that desirable, I'll never understand, but I get that it is a real bad ass of Italian muscle for it's time..
I can afford one SuperCar (lower end of them), but I wouldn't want one. The maintenance annually averages 5-8 grand a year, insurance limited you a couple thousand miles a year... There's a bit more science behind them than an average vehicle, and I enjoy driving or riding in one. But to have one of my very own, it's a dedication I don't want to make
Frank Jager better to spend a 100k on a built 2jz and be able to beat the tar out of it with nearly no Maintenence and best part is insurance is cheap. It’s a 90’s Toyota as far as they care.
@@JoeMaxFpv not speaking negatively about Mk4 because i love them. But at the end of the day its still a Toyota and not a Lamborghini
You clearly don’t understand what owning luxury and exclusive is all about.
I’m sure you own a nice pair of Levi’s jeans too, but instead you should just buy some $10 jeans from the Old Navy. Same thing right?
yes early G 04-05 they have shorter clutch life, but i will not consider it a failure, it's something that wear out like brake pads, but yeah very expensive, one more point surprisingly LP parts cheaper than early cars due the shared parts with R8.
Does Anyone know how to manually lock the fins down on the soft top of the Gallardo 06-07????? I need some good insight to make this happen. I was told that underneath the soft top there are holes to search for and torque on each fin , driver and passenger side. But have failed to locate them or even k ow what these holes look like. Apparently near the Joint of where the fins pivot. Had anyone tried or heard of this? There are many tips how to lock the fins down but not Manually.
bought. the manual now i just need to save up for the car
When did the engines get fixed?
Whoa! I didn't face any such probs in my Gallardo
ExoticCar PlayPlace mines is a 2005 Lamborghini gallarado with a destroyed transmission ? Do think is better to scrap or fix ?
Josh Chelvolski find another transmission
Oliver Sorisho I cant because i won't know if it will be the same. I fix machines and there no way am letting another fix it do what I do best. You know it tough mechanical complex
@@joshchelvolski1033 then you should know weather to fix it or scrap it, or sell it to me
Lol He was just joking .....you are a really dumb person if you scrap the car just for a transmission failure....He lost when you wanted to buy his car🤣🤣🤣
Do whats the best Lamborghini to buy?
Thank you for your videos. That's help a lot. I have a Gallardo from 2005 with 45000 Kms, I heard about cats problems from OEM catalytic, Have you some recommendation or it's not a commun issue? Thank you.
I have not really heard but if it becomes a problem the. Install the car bypass pipes and o2 extenders and enjoy the new found sounds.
@@ECPP thank you for your reply
Everytime you replace the clutch you have to replace the rear main seal also
Absolutely. Read main seal, clutch kit with throw out bearing every time. Thanks for watching
@@ECPP Lamborghini Gallardo 2009 do have more problems than old model
How many miles before we start seeing problems wrong ?
I'm buying second hand murcielago LP640 next Wednesday. Are there issues I need to be aware of? Or any suggestions?
Congrats! Great car. Are you buying Manual or E-Gear? Throw out bearings are about 4,000 US for a gated car, and Egear clutches dont last more than 10-15,000 miles. Some pricey parts but overall these cars are very durable. E-Gear actuators, water pumps, are big bucks and labour intensive to install. I could go on, but in general, they are amazing machines and enjoy.
Hard to believe that clutch isn't covered by something under warranty or a recall that's ridiculous, what years are the ones to steer clear of?
2004 - 2008 were the worst but really every Gallardo has this design right up to 2014 albeit the later ones are a bit better
After this video i just give up to purchase one! Thanks brother !@
No problem 👍
Glad we could help...next.
I could only last 1 minute into this guy. He's so over the top Canadian it made me almost lose my lunch.
Ouch
So are these worth it? They're pretty badass and affordable now.
Totally worth it and then some. A better car than a Ferrari 430 and 15 % less on average. It also gets more looks than a friends 488. I love this car. Find a good one and you too will love these cars.
Looking to buy a Gallardo soon. Can't decide between 2005 or 2006. Any differences?
Bank Soikum 2006 because it has a lift mechanism for bumps anything before doesn’t
Ok I need at least 40 grand before I buy one just on maintenance lol got ya
Wrap the rubber hoses (joint part) with tin foil?
At home in the garage with garage door open, open the engine bay lid for 45 minutes while the car sits in stasis mode?
For sure its good to let the heat out that way.
im good at driving stick and assuming i dont go too hard on it is it still better than E-Gear or is auto better in long run $$$ wise and reliability ?
Stick is probably better for resale and is always very desirable due to the low production numbers. That being said, the e-gear is quicker for absolute numbers, but awkward in traffic.
For people who are wondering
The clutch replacement costs 12,000 dollars on average
Clutch release Bering can go up to 4 to 5 thousand dollars depending where your from
And rod Berings the dealership might charge 15 to 25 thousand dollars
I’m thinking about getting one in about a year or two what do you think the best year for reliability is
Best ones are the 2009-2014 lp cars
Oderis .... friend had an 08 for 10 years . No problems besides the buttons as described lol ... just tires and a battery . Also if you get one keep it in sport mode as that conserves the clutch , and do NOT back up uphill that will smoke your clutch . 1st gen Gallardos also sound better than 09's and newer . Different firing order.
Sounds like there would be a market for Chinese-manufactured maintenance parts for exotic sports cars. Buy 1 car, reverse engineer all the small stuff that breaks, and mass-produce affordable spares. Hell I would even consider designing UPGRADED replacement pieces that are better than the OEM parts.
I bet a "high quality" Chinese factory with excellent QA/QC would be expensive by Chinese manufacturing standards but still save a fortune for end-users who are like "what do you mean power steering lines are a $5000 repair?"
Maybe some options for sure.
How often does the actuator fails on these transmissions?
Rarely
Sounds like it the same “similar problems” like your SMG M5 right next to your Lambo. Trans and shifts are identical to S85 V10 M5
I find the Lambo shifts in SPORT are even more abrubt and jarring than the M5 in S6. Both fun to drive nonetheless. Thanks for watching.
ExoticCar PlayPlace that’s Awesome and good to know.... I drove the Huracan and it’s a dream BUT I have my eyes on 2013 Gallardo and personally like the jarring and kicking you in gear like the E60 M5 which I owe one myself :) Cheers my friend

Lmao I could fix everything but the clutch
true
I heard that the 2006+ Gallardos have a 3rd party Clutch market and it's better than the factory Clutch and cheaper, can you confirm?
Yes you can buy kevlar clutch that is better then factory clutch.
Both Gallardo I have owned out of the blue after driving the car for months..air bag light goes on??? wtf
Mind blowing. Many things to be crappy about. 15-20kn for an E-Gear Acturator…opps, and Holy Schmolies
I heard 06 and up is what you should go after
Generally the newer the better. 06's now are at a decent price so that is probably the way to go, but generally other than the taller 1st gear in an 05, they are the same. 04 is the least desirable as it does not have certain interior branding, no nose lift, and some launch cars had early rod bearing d from another factory that were prone to failure.
@@ECPP so what year would you recommend? I heard that even changing wheels on the gallardos eats up the front dif if you go with AWD.
Will manual gallardo clutch much longer life than egear?
A little longer, if you drive it right. Also when it is down to worn out, you can limp the manual even if it is slipping. The egear will only allow so much lining left and then not allow you to drive.
😎
As much I want to bury my 05 gallardo I cant am stuck with till I can fix every vehicle in my garage, till then mines gonna collect dust till I can replace the transmission.
How much is a transmission for a gallardo?
Wow i didnt know you own a gallardo
You bet
So you’re better off getting a 2006-2008?
They are marginally better, but for my money either buy a early car for the experience or go straight to the LP cars which is a 2009 or newer.
Hey about a 2010 Gallardo is it fine or not
Just saw this. Considering C7 or Lambo 560 2012. Really want Lambo for YT channel. Already have 2 vettes... Would your opinion be get Lambo? [Ignore bias, price of maintenance, etc.]
100% go Lambo, I did and never regretted it. The Vettes are fast especially in Z06 form but there is just something more special with the Lambo and you really cant go wrong. Better sound and bottom of depreciation curve. Just be sure to get snap test for clutch and full inspection so you dont get a dud.
@@ECPP Thanks for advice!!!
Unless you buy a newer Gallardo with the double clutch.
ALL Gallardos have single clutch. Only Huracan has the DCT.
What is the warranty on a new one and why wouldn't the clutch be covered when it was made assuming you bought it new? Not that difficult to put a few K a year on a car that you enjoy driving so in 2 years 5K and the clutch fails = no warranty?
jim dandy you think the clutch is covered under warranty fuck no LOL are the brake pads covered is the tires covered under your warranty no these are all consumable items is the gasoline in your tank covered?
the dreaded 1-5 / 6-10 check engine is the carbon build up if I'm not mistaken.
So pretty much this an exotic SRT4?
NOT
Listen to the background noise 😂
My dude... what year is your car
The G is a 2005 so it has nose lift and Lambo badges inside.
“Fairly large” ??!!!! TWENTY GRAND for a gearbox actuator??? That’s a Golf R! That’s a Porsche Boxster!!! FAIRLY???!!!
I had to keep replaying the video 'cuz I was constantly distracted by that big bruise on his forearm.......
Like that Tattoo?
Frequently replace lubricant oil with new one.
Yes many oil changes.
Can I daily drive a Lamborghini Gallardo? I want one before I'm 35.
Asking that question shows you will never own one
If you have to daily it...you can afford it
@@drkstr7 I'm 28 and I bought an 80k Corvette C7 on my birthday. :)
@jo camble agree. I won't do it and will invest my money smartly.
All cars can be daily driven. Real question is do you want to. It is with some stress to drive high end cars some days just best leave it in the garage and get a everyday beater that youre not scared to ding are scratch . It some what on a gallardo about 3 bucks per km are 2 bucks per mile to run. If u drive 100kms per day to commute do you have 300$ a day to afford to commute. This is were practical isint balancing.
So why do you have one?
Great to drive
Holden grange is king!!
Cheers
HSV* and what’s that got to do with this?
Check mate. I’m out. I have a 91 Z/28 TPIS mini ram, Xtreme fuel injection cam, headers, Upgraded 700R4. I will spank these like I do vipers. No knob issues, transmission issues, or any of the other problems mentioned here. I thought about selling off all my muscle cars and the Camaro for a European car like this. That thought has now ended in a week.
Well that’s maybe that was the reason why I didn’t vibe with that Lamborghini.
Why is that ?
Idk, like I enjoy every Lamborghini that I see from Diablo, Urus, aventador, the hurrican. For some reason the gallardo just didn’t click with me. I liked it and thought it was a great Lamborghini but I just didn’t felt like owning one.
Gallardo is too low Hp exposes fire. Specially new Aventador Sv easily trigger fire and destroy.
My parents decided to buy me a damn lambo gallardo for my first car. Im sooo fkin gratefull!
Shit i didnt get one itll i was 40 its a 09!!my mom and dad have a aventador just picked up few months ago wont let me sit in it lol
Careful with this car. It may kill ya.
It might try
In other words don’t buy the older Lamborghini
ALL Lamborghinis are still amazing cars and there is nothing else like them. PERIOD
So Gallardo is shit, got it !
I dont know who this guy is but man you are soo negative that i seriously consider Porsche over lambo
Not negative but realistic and I would take a Lambo over a Porsche. Any day all day.
Damn these cars are junk lol
But damn they are AMAZING
If you don’t like your Lamborghini giveet to me do you no more
Archi Mainali Of course he will not give it to you, idiot.
And the 6th thing that failed was this video for being so damn boring!!!!
