    These times reflect the last counted "real" Lamborghini days!
    Just an amazing time just a few years ago...

    You may want to consider the stronger 'Custer' clutch rod
    here... Replacing a Broken Clutch Connecting Rod in a Diablo

    I got mine from Glen, not cheap, but another improvement not to worry about

    Very nice looking car LamboDriver

    Hi David,
    It´s me Leo ;)
    Hmm i think the reason why the rods starts to break is because the slave cylinder is too tight into the bell housing without any clearance fit.
    I mean in radial direction. The axial direction is fixed with a lock ring.

    When i removed the old clutch cylinder it was really difficult to remove it from the bell housing because of contact corrosion between the alloy bell housing and the black steel of the cylinder. If you push the clutch pedal, the cylinder needs a bit clearance because the force of the rod is not complete in straight line. Another reason is that if the cylinder starts to leak it drops directly on the rod which makes the clutch rod rough and rusty.


    So what i did is, i sanded the bell housing bore and used alot of grease and fixed the clutch cylinder. Now the cylinder is moveable and can "work".

    I think fast opening was a standard option but it depends on the delivery country.
    For example i never noticed a us-spec car with fast opening engine cover.
    But i saw UK/AU (rhd) with both options, fast opening and normal locking covers.

    no, 1999 UK RHD SV cars had the option of fast or normal opening - mine is normal, with the weak plastic handle in the passenger door frame

    Yes correct. I checked my register again and can´t find a 97/98 SV without fast opening bonnet. Seems that the "normal lock" came in MY99 production.
