Ok, question for the Gallardo masses. I'm pretty sure my clutch is on its final breath (07 spyder with just over 20k) I am now getting a sound similar to belt squeak in 1st gear when the engine is cold and first gear feels as if it is feathering on/off more than it used to. Once everything is warmed up it goes away, but if I stomp on in pulling away from a dead stomp I will get the squeal sound for a moment.
Anyway fast forward to the fix. Lamborghini Boston has quoted me a ballpark of $10k (yeah). Autohaus of Boston has a couple options. OEM clutch replacement was quoted just below $10k but then they gave me two rebuild options through a company in Orange NJ who rebuilds the clutch. For roughly $8,800 they can rebuild the existing using carbon kevlar to last longer. (I'm told they rebuild everything, throw out bearing included). For approx. $1,000 less they can rebuild OEM.
1) Has anyone here ever had a clutch rebuilt as opposed to replaced?- I had never heard of this previously.
2) Does anyone in MA/NH/RI/CT know of a shop that has done a Gallardo Clutch for lower than the numbers above. I keep hearing $4k-$7k range online, but based on my phone calls I appear to be dreaming at that price point.
