thanks thanks thanks

I have an LP640 Roadster with e-gear. It seems like most of the cars sold are now e-gear for a variety of reasons. For one, in situations where you are driving on twisty roads, you are able to keep both hands on the wheel while making fast shift changes. I don't know about clutch life differences, but on one of the most recent rallies where we were driving though a lot of sharp turns, constant shifts, changes in incline and decline, I could smell the clutch from a manual shift car right in front of me. I know my shift changer were a lot faster and that's an e-gear strong point. It could have been the driver, but I'm not sure I'd have been any better. At this point, I'd not consider anything but e-gear.

As for joining the site, welcome!

im old school.. my way of thinking .. 6 speed manual is the best...give me more feel in driving... manual all the way

Why so many eGear ? Because, sadly, people today can't drive "shift" cars anymore.

I like stick but E-gear is easier and faster to shift. I think that's the main reason people chose E-gear.

but a manual gear box is very much simple than e-gear i think. e-eger what kind of component it have? electric component software pneumatic pump? (i don't know how it work) this component are reliable? in a car whith a lot of years (like a 2004 gallardo) probably breakin soon? or only one thing that i must replace regularly is the disc of clutch? after how much miles i must change the clutch?

do you know how it work a e-gear?

thank guys... thanks!!!

It's mostly electronic. I don't see too many complaints posted from those who have e-gear regarding cost to maintain. They seem to be extremely reliable from what I know. I've yet to learn of anyone who's moved away from e-gear and ordered a car with a manual AFTER owning an e-gear car. Before I bought my car, I did lots of homework and concluded there was no better choice for me to the point where I wouldn't consider a manual. Most who criticize it and prefer manual have never driven a Lamborghini with e-gear, especially in a very fast, constant shifting twisty-road environment so they are simply voicing what they know.

I went from an e-gear to a manual and love it.

I had a 05 gallardo with e-gear and driving was ok but traffic was not.I didnt like the paddles not moving with the wheel like BMW and it either jerked a lot at slower speeds or taking off into traffic or when re-adjusted by the dealer it slipped too much, it was a constant job feathering the throttle just right for different situations - mostly slower speeds. Once you got going it was fine. I traded it for a murcielago with 6 speed and I love it so much more. the car is more controllable in traffic and on the open road the absolute control of a manual is more pure feeling. Both have their strong points, but call me when its perfected and I might try another e-gear(but I didnt like the BMW system either with my M-6). creeping into my garage slowly to park was a little wierd with the e-gear for me especailly with a 15 degree driveway incline but now its much more of a calm experince with the manual letting the car pull itslef in instead of revving just enough to catch the clutch on the e-gear.I smelled a lot more clutch on my e-gear as well. On the plus side the e-gear can outshift you but I like trying with manual and being able to roll off a few revs at a stop light every now and then aint so bad either.
Every drive is not on a race course so that should be a consideration as well.

honestly I would be most impressed with a CVT drive in the future.

I've not had any of the same issues. I did have some jerking in the first 500 miles or so, and only once in a while, like on an incline, but that was adjusted and I've not had any problems since. Your comments about pulling into a garage with a 15 degree driveway is interesting as I've not had to park in tha situation yet. You are the first I've read to go back to manual and it's great feedback.

I did a check of four different dealers and their inventory of 31 cars in total. Of the 31, only two were manual transmission. None were Murcs.

My Gallardo just arrived today and I do smell the clutch all the time. I know it's not me riding on the clutch because I've been driving manual all my life. I was wondering if this is normal. With the shift gates, it's a little difficult to shift and it doesn't go in gear as smooth. You have to give it more effort and it takes some of the fun out of driving. Any of you out there feel the same?
