Question seriously looking for a Gallardo
Hey guys, Im on the verge of selling the TT and going to a Gallardo. Is there anyting I should be watching out for as far as buying a used one goes? How is the e-gear? Should I be looking strictly at 6-speeds? Also, where can I get the best deal?

TIA

Sandro

i heard alot of problems with clutch going on the 6-speed....play it safe and go with e gear especially if you plan on going in to high traffic areas like downtown etc.... IMO

really? wow. ok, i didnt know. I thought the e-gear would be worse. ummmm. So I guess Ill forget the manual. Its just weird cause all I see out there are e-gears, and i rarely see manuals. Anyways, thanks for the heads-up.

No that is not true. In the beginning in 04, the first few G's had issues with their clutches, both E-gear and 6 speed. This has been fixed by the factory, and most clutches already replaced under warranty.

The E-gear fun wears off fast.. go with the 6 speed. The Gallardo is a fun car.. Although it will never keep up with a modded Turbo

Never say never, on my board, Jason Heffner is doing a TT conversion on an E-gear Gallardo. Looking for over 700rwhp.
