Unfortunately, there are not too many videos on YouTube specifically for clutch life on AM Sport Shift models (most of the videos are 6 Speed MT). I did however watch a video on the Lamborghini Gallardo's E-Gear...I was wondering if anyone:

1. Pulls both paddles to go to neutral when coming to a complete stop from higher gears.
2. Drives only in Sport mode to get a harder/cleaner grab.
3. Lets off the gas while shifting.

If anyone has some insight please let me know! I am not looking forward to a clutch repair bill so soon after getting my new car!

Thanks!
I do all three. installed a new clutch a couple thousand miles ago... drives great

here's a video
