E-gear software upgrade or software adjustments?
I just got an 04 Gallardo with E-gear.
If you feather the throttle, it takes of smoothly but is slow. If you are very aggressive, it bogs about 3 times before accellerating. It appears to me that the problem is that the clutch is not slipping enough under heavy throttle.
When I am in sport and stability off, the launch technique is better but it still engages too soon, so the car launches at about 3500rpm and then the rpms drop down as the tires get grip. It's quick but it could be much better.
I took it back to the dealer and they said there is no software upgrade, but it is merely a software adjustment that allows them to change how much clutch slippage is given by the E-gear system. When the did some adjustments, it was better for a few days but then seemed to get worse again.
Is there really a software upgrade, or is the upgrade that I see commonly quoted really only an computer adjustment of the clutch engagement that is adjustable? If there was an upgrade, how would I know if my car has had it done?
