Gallardo75,

When was your car made? Early cars have a weak clutch and the clutch was updated in later cars. My clutch went at 1100 miles and the dealer had it replaced and back on the road in 48 hours, all under warranty. They knew of the issues with the clutch and they had all the parts in stock, ready to go. Besides upgrading the clutch they also did the coil pack update and even replaced some interior parts that showed some wear.
Do not give in.

Noise only happens (for now at least) when starting out in 1st with higher
RPM's.

For the price of these cars, there is NO EXCUSE to treat their customers like that. Several years ago I bought a used Ferrari TR from a dealer in Scottsdale. The very next day the clutch failed. The dealer replaced it at no cost to me. I subsequently bought a 360 coupe and 360 spider from this dealer. I bought my first Lambo last year, a Gallardo. The dealer then proceeded to lie and cheat about toooooo many things to bother listing them here....but the upshot is that I will never buy another car from them. I spoke to John Amette (customer service Lambo), and he seemed very receptive. DON'T ACCEPT THE BRUSH OFF!!!
What state was the dealer located in?
