I've owned my '08 Gallardo for about a month now. It's been a lot of fun. However earlier this week, the E-gear starting acting crazy. I got an E-gear error when trying to shift gears. The car started bucking while it kept trying to reengage. I couldn't even get it into neutral. I had to shut the car off and turn it back on again to reset the error, but then it kept reoccurring. I had to limp home in 2nd gear. So frustrating.
Anyway, I had the Gallardo towed to my nearest Lambo dealer. They said that the E-gear issue was due a faulty speed sensor for the transmission. ~$300 for a new sensor, but $1550 for diagnostics and labor! WTF? Apparently they have to remove the power steering pump or something to get to the sensor? What am to do?
They also said that fluid was leaking from one of the shocks and it would be $9000 to replace the pair! Yikes! I had the car inspected at a Lambo dealer in another state before I bought it. They performed a detailed inspection and didn't find this leak. There are also no drips in my garage. Is it for real? Attached are some pictures. Does this look like a leak to you? Am I getting played?
