Default Survey of Gallardo Clutch Ware

With all the talk about Gallardo clutch ware I thought it would be useful to see if we could get a survey going and get real numbers. The problem with forum treads discussing things like clutch ware is that you typically only hear from people with a problem. Users with no clutch problem typically do not write in. There is thus a skewed picture of how fast clutches in Gallardo’s ware out. I think what is needed is a survey of Gallardo’s and the miles/Km's they have on them before or after a clutch replacement. With the data below we should all be able to get a better picture of the situation.
So how about all readers with a Gallardo respond to the following questions.

Gallardo Model Year =
Manual/E-Gear =
Total Miles on Car (please convert if Km's) =
Total Miles on original clutch =
You normally drive "gently", aggressively, daily driver, long distances =
Life left on clutch if known (according to Lamborghini diagnostics) =
Clutch hardware version - if known =
Software version (if E-gear) - if known =

Please take a second and fill out this survey. It is only useful if many complete it.

Mine is:-
2005
E-Gear
17,050
17,050
gently

Are you going to build a spreadsheet, populate the data, and pull a pivot table? This would make things much easier if you plan to find a pattern and have so many variables. PM me if you would like me to help you build something. Sorry, not a G owner, just a forum buddy willing to help.

I will do something like that if we get enough data. I will stick it up on lamboweb.com for all to review.

Thanks Monahan z for doing this survey.

2004
E-Gear
5827 mi.
5827 mi. on the original clutch
Aggressive - without burnouts or track time
1.4 mm / 5.6 mm - just had the clutch read (approx. 75% of life remaining)
Original clutch (believe it is called an A clutch)
Original E-gear software (has preformed well - no reason to re-flash)
