I've heard in the neighborhood of $7,000 for a clutch and $3,000 for new rotors/brakes installed but I'm sure that car vary by a bit. Also, if you know the clutch and brakes are worn and will need replaced soon, definitely use that when you're negotiating the price. Approximately $10,000 is a good chunk of change!

 

+1 agreed. $7,000 sounds about right if you go to a Lambo dealer. It would be less at an independent shop.

If you need a clutch, we have a clutch that lasts up to 350% longer than a stock clutch. We also have a throw out bearing that lasts longer than a stock clutch.

Here are some of our customer's feedback. There are more pictures after page 25.

Pega Clutch

You can contact Serkan at GTE performance in Pompano Beach Florida. He can replace it for you or rebuild it my mail. It's a fantastic alternative to the original or other vendors that offer the same service. I am a Lamborghini technician and do my own work. I have used Pega clutches before and would recommend the Kevlar upgrade. I have 3,000 miles since the new clutch was installed and only 5% worn. They recondition the hard surfaces and reline your original clutch. Don't let others scare you about clutches. GTE are experts in the field and have a passion for the cars. If you don't care about the cost just go to the dealer. I paid around $2,000 for the rebuild and it is just fantastic.

 

STAY AWAY from Serkan from GTE/Pega. GTE stole my positive feedback about my Hi Tech Exotic clutch and put it on their website... Very dishonest... GTE has been banned a few times from L-talk because they were attacking vendors here and spamming from different fake accounts. If you search online, there are a lot of threads from customers complaining how bad Pega/GTE clutch is. Here is one where one of his customers lost reverse gear after installing their clutch... GTE blamed the TCU. Swapped it with a new TCU and still no reverse.

Steeve!

That was mistake form a Web Media company and only was there for 2h if at all! We immediately changed this person/company. That was what 10+ years a go but seems you dont miss to smear a whole Company for that! You are seems to be a pretty degraded person! We don't need anyone's feedback or reference is not ours))

 

And the scare continues.
Are you a vendor? I am a consumer and believe that Lamborghini owners should be aware of the truth . As I've stated I am a lambo tech, and have never seen a gearbox not go into reverse because of a bad clutch. I have seen the Maserati transmission at GTE shop you are referring to. I could not physically move the shift shaft into reverse. this was years ago. Myself and others that are driving around with a Pega clutch are happy, and thank Serkan for his services to the Lamborghini community. I do install clutches on the side, and only use Serkan'clutch as it is an affordable alternative to the generic low mileage original. Again I am just a consumer with no monetary value invested
here is the latest clutch I installed

 

I don't know what kind of a Lambo tech you are but a bad clutch can definitely interfere with shifting or smooth shifting. Lamborghini clutches have very low tolerances. If you don't set them up or calibrate them correctly, it won't release or it won't engage properly. When a clutch builder doesn't calibrate it correctly, the clutch won't shift or it shifts in a rough manner. Sometimes the tolerance is as low as 0.005 of an inch. So if you calibrate it more than 0.005 inch, it won't shift properly. FYI, A paper is about 0.005 inch thick!!!

One of the reasons that a Pega/GTE clutch doesn't shift properly is that the clutch disc is too thick and that's why Serkan tells them to drive it more and the problem will go away. That's not how you build a clutch because rough shifting puts a lot of stress and load on the synchros and you can end up having to rebuild the transmission.

Here is another example of a rough shifting Murcielago clutch that was rebuilt incorrectly. The customer complained that he has a tough time going into reverse and it grinds when he uses forward gears. He was being told to keep driving the car and the problem will go away. Thank God, Steeve, one of our longtime good customers, contacted him and told him to contact us. After talking to the customer, we told him not to drive the car anymore. I told him if you think a clutch is expensive, then you'll be shocked how expensive it is to rebuild a transmission. He installed our Kevlar clutch and the shifting was perfect and he told us that the shifting has never been this smooth even with an oem clutch.

This is what he wrote:

"It is unfortunate that I had purchased a kevlar clutch from a different vendor for my Lamborghini Murcielago 6-speed, and immediately after installation had serious problems. The vehicle would not go into reverse and was grinding gears unless I very carefully matched revs. The vendor asked me to drive the car to bed-in the clutch.

I drove the vehicle 800 miles with no improvement; very disappointing.

Had to replace the clutch ... again. You know what that means (engine-out)

Purchased kevlar clutch from Sean at Hi Tech Exotic. Parts arrived promptly and with the (new) old clutch out for comparison it was plain as day how differently-sized the parts were.

Sean gave terrific customer service and outstanding follow-up. Installed new clutch and it is smooth like the proverbial butter analogy.

Again, Sean gave regular updates on shipping, and several follow-up calls after receipt. Delighted with his service.

I highly recommend Sean and Hi Tech Exotic for parts quality, shipping proficiency, and most of-all - customer service."

Steeve is correct. Serkan/GTE was banned because he kept spamming this board. We are a vendor here. We support this board by paying to be a vendor. We also try to help and answer questions in order to assist members here but all you do is, you keep spamming the board and want to get promotion for free. That's not right. It's very fishy that both of your posts are only about promoting Pega/GTE.

 

Very interesting... You have only posted twice in 6 years and both of them are promoting GTE/Pega. We are not stupid... We know it's a fake account created by Serkan/GTE. You also happened to be at GTE shop and you happened to see the transmission in the thread above... Wow what a coincidence... Again we're not stupid... in the thread above he took it to the Maserati dealer and there was nothing wrong with his transmission.

There are very many unhappy Pega/GTE customers. Here is another failed Pega/GTE clutch. Are you going to blame the transmission again?

$7000 for a clutch?? Is there a big difference in cost between the LP and Pre-LP clutches? When I had the clutch replaced on my 2006 Gallardo, it was ~$4k including labor.

 

Sorry to revive an old thread, but does anyone the shop he is referring to that will do the clutch replacement for $4k? Tried PMing but no response

 

I don't know where the $7K figure comes from.

OEM clutch is $1,500, kevlar clutches are in the $3K price range, and labor should be not much more than 10 hours. Labor rates are usually in low $100s.
If somebody knows exact book time, please post it.

 

OEM clutch is not $1,500(I wish it was). OEM E-gear retails for about $3600-3700. OEM manual is about $4100-4200. Some shops charge 15-20 hours for pre-lp Gallardo clutch installation. LP installation is about 5-10 hours more depending on the shop. Every year Lamborghini keeps increasing the clutch prices. Prices were lower a few years ago but never $1500. I hope this helps out.

 

I just did the brakes on my 3005 G. OEM pads would have been $1500 front and rear; I went with Hawk. They have about 6 different compounds to choose from; I got a medium grade which was a good compromise. They were $600. Front had the wear sensors, rear did not. They were simple to install

 

I meant 2005 (I do brake jobs but am a bad typist)

 

Glen at AMH site sponsor can get the oem clutch to you for around $2800 if I recall correctly

 

100%
Glen is the best when it comes to parts needed!

 

I am curious about the new $1500 valeo clutch for the lp cars on eBay. Valeo is the manufacturer of the oem Gallardo clutch....

 

That's only the pressure plate. It doesn't include a flywheel or a ring gear.

 

Could the flywheel and ring gear be reused / resurfaced from the prior set up.

 

Curios too as all the normal single disk clutches I ever replaced I always reused the flywheel and usually the pressure plate too.

 

I mean they probably sell it that way for a reason. If I had an lp car I would try it.... wish they did that for the pre lp’s

 

You should not use an old flywheel in a twin disk Gallardo clutch without resurfacing it. Your old flywheel might have hot spots and other issues. You will have chattering and vibrations if you don't resurface it.

Even if you resurface your flywheel, it won't be balanced to your new pressure plate. So you need to send it out and have your flywheel and the pressure plate be balanced together. Then depending on how much you have shaved off your flywheel, you should calibrate the clamping force on your new pressure plate. Gallardo and LP have very stiff motor and transmission mount so they are very sensitive to a balanced clutch.

Lamborghini clutches have very low tolerances, especially the twin disks. If you're off by 0.005 of an inch, it won't engage or release. This is why Lamborghini sells their clutches with a flywheel and already balanced. They have marking on the side so the pressure plate would match the same position as the flywheel.

 

If 5 thousandths throws it completely out of spec, I guess you have to change the clutch disk every couple hundred miles? More likely the shop didn’t setup the PIS correctly for the new clutch.

 

Just got mine done 09 LP560 and it was right at 7K, stage 2 plus clutch and labor!

 

A Gallardo clutch, using new OEM parts from third-party brands, fitted by a good independent garage, is around £2-3k / US$3-4k.

San Francisco Bay Area. Looking to potential purchase a 2006-2008 Gallardo and just wanted to know in advance where I can go for a future E-Gear replacement that doesn't cost $7-10k.

 

There are a few good shops I deal with regularly in that area that would take care of you.

Has anybody put a Kevlar clutch in their LP Gallardo. I have heard mixed results so I am very curious. Please share your experience. Thanks.

 

Not all Kevlar clutches are the same. We have the highest quality Kevlar. We have many LP customers. Here is one of our LP customers who has our HT350. He has put thousands of miles with no issues.

DIY Lamborghini Gallardo clutch Kevlar kit by Hi Tech...

To all you guys I know there are other threads out there regarding clutch replacement on the Gallardo. I can highly recommend Sean @ Hi Tech Exotics on his very well manufactured Kevlar clutch assembly. The clutch replacement took about 7 days from time of order and shipped to Australia straight...
