    Hi guys

    quick one if anyone is able to answer..

    basicly when im putting it into 1st from N sometimes it does not want to go into gear.. i usually have to wait for a while then it will work.. Also Reverse always fails, everytime i try to put it in reverse alot of the time it will not go into R, i have to wait and retry after a few minuts or sometimes by putting it into 1 and then R it will work.. any known issues?

    Also, i have had the car for about a year now, never changed the oil or checked the levels, i assumed the oil light would come on if low, is thsi the case? i am going to have it serviced end of the month so will be changed then but just wanted to know is it normal not to see a oil light after never checking the oil ?

    thanks

    Loads of threads about the gear thing - usually its worn out clutch - sometimes PIS set wrong & needs adjusting - sometimes weak F1 pump needs replacing

    There is no oil level warning. You should check the level regularly.

    This seems like a common issue these days, someone needs to design an alternative clutch for 360's and 430's with much longer lifespan.

    I see a lot of clutch failured due to poor setup. When they are set up right, with a decent level of software in the TCU and driven properely the clutch life span is perfectly acceptable...

    Contact Exotic Clutch Tech. They have Kevlar ones for Gallardo and may have it for F360-430 as well.
