Find a place that has a plastic bead blaster for your clutch plates to get the corrosion off with out messing up the balance. I fix airplanes for a living, & that’s what we use for our critical engine parts
we always blanchard ground flywheels because the repeated heat cycles cause warpage.
I say dip for few days in vinegar or rust remover, no abrasion necessary
Blanchard is certainly one of the best methods.
White vinegar or tubaware with a couple 2 liters of Coca-Cola Will lift the rust with no damage to that floater plate.
Also we have plastic bead blasters at my shop too.
Work great.
Imo, clean it all up.
Get a machinist edge, a feeler have set, and a perfectly flat table (I use surface plates in my lab).
Check to make sure you don't have more than .001-.0015" gap around your flywheel and also the floater plate.
You should be good if none of those feeler gages fit under.
My gut feeling is the corrosion was your issue. Not mechanical.
That and a loose fuel line, lol
But then again the discs themselves are still in bad shape. He might as well send it back to spec to get rebuilt.
Tavarish I have the exact same SPEC clutch. I purchased a 2005 Lamborghini Gallarado that was totaled. I’ve had it listed on eBay for about a month now and I’ve been looking for a buyer. Send me a message. I’m in love with your channel and I know we can work something out.
Say No More
Totally not sketchy, no real name or anything.
Dude that’s awesome
Connor Serianna Smith I'm sure he's not that dumb to buy something without vetting the owner
Chthonian121 hahahahaha
Pulling the transmission on a Lamborghini with a "Harbor Freight" engine hoist... That's AWESOME!
why not, it works
Oh, I couldn’t agree more. That’s why it’s awesome.
I thought that was awesome too!
Steve Mackay love it
Clean the clutch plates with steel wool and light oil.
Do NOT try to clean the actual clutch pads!
Put it back together, the heat and friction the first time you engage a gear to move will clean the rest. :D
(20 year Mechanical Engineer)
Edit: Obviously clean the oil off before reassembly :)
TheFrowningLizard I say just send it in to SPEC and have it rebuilt with new pads. Nothing more valuable in a build than the peace of mind knowing a part is put together the right way.
This guy here... Ignore people telling you to replace it.. they want your money and are plug and play jockeys.
Is it possible to rebuild a clutch to oem standard? I got my maserati's old clutch laying around..
Clean it with brake cleaner before reassembly you don’t want that light oil getting on the friction material.
Nick Hannaford exactly, you don't put oil anywhere near something that works on friction... definately clean the flywheel and center steel with brake clean. I might not even use brake clean on the clutch disks, would want to mess with the binding angent. I'd just lightly scuff the clutch disks and wipe them off
It's really nice to see dude actually working on his car instead of a rich kid talk & talk about daddy's car..( Vv)
vv has made more money than you on his own, guaranteed.
prkr, So what? Not everything is about money , americano... Just talk & talk without any personal advancement
Why are you getting defensive? Gil is praising him lol
prkr yeah but making money is a lot easier when you start off with money.
Noah Lach, yeh praising tava.. Sorry i drag parents in.. I respect the 1m subs but common, you must improve as a person, it will improve your channel & life
By the amount of rust that thing caught fire then the owner tried to put it off by driving it into the bottom of the ocean.
ArthurAlcantara pissed on it and fucked hookers inside it raw dog style
ArthurAlcantara that “1600” horsepower takeoff made previous owner spill his coffee
ArthurAlcantara kinda looks like a flood car from Irma or Harvey!!
Could be water used to extinguish the fire
If by "amount of rust" you mean hardly any, won't take much to clean it up.
Gotta give you respect ✊..... real tool man dyi . How many ppl would try to work on there’re own lambo . 💯mvp
mephisto1025 there're 🤣 you mean their
MrBrooxy stfu
+Naruto Uzumaki I know, right? Who the fuck cares about having proper English skills anymore. You can just go around life, making grammar errors in your resume and in your job applications, and no one will give a fuck, right?
gmansplit exactly! Now you get it. So stfu
Was thinking the same thing. Big ball havin Tavarish
Great videos i love the lambo content
Dam I don’t know how anybody else on TH-cam is going to top this build. My dude tavarish blowing up.
The guys on GoonSquad come close.
Seeing your clutch plates and discs, it appears like you could just get an orbital sander and sand all of that corrosion off. A wire brush would work for the edges and smaller details. The friction discs appear to be OK and probably need very little work. Could probably sand the contact faces to get them grippy again so they will seat properly with the friction plates. Looks like you got off easy on that! WTG!
100% agree
Zip ties on Lamborghini.
Working on Lamborghini with harbor freight tools.
These are firsts.
David Bryant I was kidding. I practically live at harbor freight dude haha
Mike Borraccia, I was thinking the same thing but I'm with you, many HF tools work great and to be honest IMO the other "Good" brands have fallen in quality lately. HF Tools work great for many weekend enthusiasts, if you use them for a living probably not so much.
Mike Borraccia you would be surprised at the amount of manufactures that use zip ties for vaccum lines and other connections as a factory standard. Even showing up in parts diagrams. Maybe not at all to the extent in the lambos case, but i can pretty comfortably say there is zipties used all over that lambo from the factory
Normally for a used car deduct $5 from the value for every non-factory zip tie. For a Lamborghini, deduct $100 each.
Hahaha balls of steel this guy!
Even though i kinda bashed this "build/recovery" in an earlier video like many others, its turned into a pretty cool series. In all fairness, we all want to see you conquer the Lambo! Good luck pulling for you. Subscribed man.
Also i'd sell those turbos for some extra $$ to fund your build for a minute. Id rather say i have a 550hp lambo that rolls than say i have a 1200hp paper weight.
Hey man, love the videos. I have a friend who is a very experienced Lamborghini mechanic, he is usually super busy but he is a great guy and would help (with advice, he’s not local to you) contact me if you are interested in getting in touch
I hope ya see this tavarish
Dude, i've been here since the beginning and this channel is growing insanely fast! Huge Congrats my man!
Same here, well done Tavarish you're killing it! Im really stoked about this build. Cant wait to see you light the tires up on the drag strip
By the time he's finished building it he'll be able to buy a brand new Lamborghini straight off the Showroom Floor with all the views
I had to watch this before watching Doug DeMuro with the BMW😁
TheRealLondon Boy that BMW is sick. NA v12 with a 6 speed manual stock.
omg me too
Yep. Same here. They posted at the same time.
Same!
I watched dougs bimmer first lol
Just clean the surface of the two plates with sandpaper like deglaze the material of the clutch plates and the edge and impersonate the spinning motion of the engine with it in the flywheel and see if it feels free if so then ideal but if not I’ll just contact the makers of the clutch 👍🏼..... great video as always 👌🏼🇬🇧
Jon Moran
I completely agree. Why not try it and see what the result is. Worst that will happen is that you’ll need to disassemble again if it doesn’t work.
the first use of the clutch will clean everything, it's like a big sandpaper plate grinding metal. The corrosion will disappear like on disk brake.
Yep totally agree with that! Sand it with high grit sandpaper and clean the surfaces! Then reinstall the surfaceplate with some grease so it can move up and down! all will work perfectly!
Scotch brite
This kind of thing happens to old bike clutches ,which this is similar in principle to, all the time (albeit wet ones). You just separate (or bump) them till they're loose again and then it all works as it should. I'd gamble and put it back in.
I bet if you put it back together it would be fine, the clutch just stuck through lack of use
Benspeed's Channel hit it with scotch brite
Benspeed's Channel
This! Although the clutch doesn’t look pretty, it’s functional enough to get the car going. The rust and heat marks on the flywheel are typical for a used (heat marks) clutch that’s been sitting in a wooden box @ Copart for a year (rust).
If you put it back together and it still does not work, I would suspect the slave cylinder before anything else.
I thought the exact same, just put it back together and try to put it in gear
atleast it is loose now (all the clutch disks)
Yeah that's what I think as well
Vinegar alone will clean that rust. Just sumerge the clutch plate on a tub with vinegar and it will ready for use.
+Tararish Nothing wrong with that clutch. A little bit of rush can cause clutches to stick, sometimes you can put them in gear and jump start the vehicle and use the power of the engine while pressing in the clutch to break the clutch free. In this case you pried them apart, just put it back in don't try cleaning it. It's just fine, the corrosion would clean right off with the friction material in the first second of use.
We're not talking disc brakes that sat for a while here. This is a high performance clutch.
There is no difference. It's a friction surface device. I have actually real life experience doing this and it has never failed.
Can verify that this works amazingly well. Done it 4 times now on various cars.
yup agree Trix , ,done the start in gear and drive it , push down on the clutch pedal and hit the brakes , bit of a bang and the clutch came free ,that was on a tvr .
Thank you Jesus.... ; )
Love this guy. Last couple videos the hate was insane. People love to hate on other people when they think they made a mistake. Somehow they want to feel smarter and more capable/sensible, so they trash anyone at any opportunity. You're proving those haters wrong.
Keep it up man, the lambo videos are entertaining as fuck.
I would not bother with sending it to a machine shop. Get a scotch wheel and clean it up well should fix that problem and onto the next.
this, cleaning it and use will fix that, although i know shit about lambo clutches and all i've done in my life is 80's grandma cars so....
Soak the metal (not the clutch plates) in cleaning vinegar, it will remove the rust and only the rust and won’t leave any harsh chemical residue that’s what I did to the clutch on my bike
Alternatively, you could use some phosphoric acid on the rust. It will react with it, turning it into iron(III)phosphate, which is completely insoluble (and a deep black), preventing rust pretty much ever again.
Put more ads on your videos, i got one at the start and one at the end, which is nothing for a 17 minute video. put like 2-3 more ads and get more
money! You're gonna need it for this build:)
headcas620 lol we get to watch content for free, fuck it, I know TH-cam doesn't pay like it used too, I don't mind
We're all using adblock. Go ahead.
181188 15141 someone's upset they can't afford a lamborghini
S M Support the TH-camr u like. That's why I'm not using AdBlock..
Ads are supplied by TH-cam ad sense, there is only a certain amount of ads that can go around. Main reason TH-cam changed it rules for who can monetize their videos. Best thing for a content creator would be to get sponsors and plug that stuff at the end of a video, or maybe in the middle of a longer video.
Those plates look a wee bit close to the rivets to me. Spec should hook you up with a discount for featuring their product on this “DIY Lambo build”.
Let’s go lambo calrissian!!!
yea ask the for a sponsor maybe isn't a bad idea.
I agree. Those discs looked scorched.
I am interested to see if Spec backs up their product.
Even if they don't, a rebuild should be available for a semi-reasonable sum...
I hate to say it but I think you did that for nothing. I have seen this problem before. A car sits to long and plate sticks to fly wheel. Had a friend with a dodge road runner that would sit for months and he would put in gear with car off and get some friends to push car staring it. Once running it would free it self while driving in first gear. Good luck I’m addicted to your vids now!
I love that 10$ 98’VW watercooler tank in your 200.000$ car 🤣💦
The Rock Lamborghini is audi and Audi is vw so yeah ehy not. It has also the exact same shitty Audi entertainment System
My 1990 Vw Golf also had this coolant reservoir😂
The Rock 60k car
Its not even worth 60k tbh, If you can get perfectly working Oem looking gallardo with 69k id say hes car is worth 55k tops. suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=257138500&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&makeModelVariant1.makeId=14600&makeModelVariant1.modelId=5&pageNumber=1&scopeId=C&sortOption.sortBy=searchNetGrossPrice&sortOption.sortOrder=ASCENDING&searchId=da221a8c-8e79-4d09-4e3a-32ad23793302
BioWareLove your stupid as hell the car you sent the link to is around 84,000$ is dollars and it’s all stock with a stock motor his car has a built motor and a twin turbo setup so how isn’t the car worth 60k I bet you don’t even have a nice car so why you saying his built twin turbo lambor ain’t worth 60k
First Harbor Freight hoist to take a Gallardo transaxle out?
He said he didn't have any working hoist
MrCarGuy20 lol
it's not the tools you use, it's how you use them. I could do it with rope and 3 tree stumps.
Sean B I can do it without rope and 1 tree
chuck norris can do it in his sleep
Tip: Next time you suspect this could be the issue, put the car into gear, depress the clutch and hit the starter, while holding the brakes. This is usually enough force to free the plates and save you having to disassemble your car. Don't feel bad, been there, done that.
It's not uncommon for clutch plates to stick together, and the corrosion is also not uncommon since it's got an inspection hole that can allow for moisture to get into the clutch mechanism. It's all minor surface corrosion too. IMO, the plates being stuck together is the sole issue since you said it won't go into gear when it's running. That's because the syncros are unable to stop the gears spinning because the clutch would never disengage. If the corrosion is really bothering you, just wire brush it off.
I'd just smack it apart, brass brush the surfaces of the clutch, brake clean the balls out of it and put it back together. Send it.
autotalon same
I was thinking back to a Subaru I did years ago where I just cleaned it up with a Scotch Brite pad, a ton of PB Blaster, and brake cleaner but that's a clutch that'll only set you back $150 if you mess it up and only takes half an hour to pull the engine back out if the clutch fix didn't work. Something like this I think I'd look for something a bit better. There were some other commentors that mentioned Blanchard, that would likely be a better option for something like this.
Same, looks fine, was just stuck.
same, had similar issues on various old bike clutches. free options always the best way to start.
I agree
A guy that works on his own Lamborghini.........with Harbor Freight gloves on.....Love It!
You can definitely go over it lightly with sandpaper, say 400 grit. That will break up the glaze on the floater disk and expose new organics on the disk. I would do that, then reinstall the trans. Start it and I think the clutch will work just fine.
You gotta have balls the size of a bull to tackle this job
soak the plate (not the clutches) in a vinegar solution. Should remove most of the rust, then hit it with a couple green scotch pads. Clean with break cleaner.
or get that clutch company to sponsor your video with a new clutch OR have them show you how to refurb a good clutch.
the rust will come off the clutch plate surfaces ones it engages a couple times and will burn right off. You could scotch pad the areas between the friction material.
Working on a Lamborghini alone is commendable
even cooler that its in his garage for youtube, not even being sponsored by lambo or a big mechanic company to do it
The clutch is totally fixable. Vinegar soak, rinse well with water. Then soft wire wheel on the metal parts, gentle hand clean on the pucks... just make sure you clean it well and dry it. Keep in mind that if you just put it back and then it take 3-4 months before you get the car working the clutch might rust again.
Prying the clutch apart was soo satisfying!!
Tav you show so much respect, and if you can do that job on half the time, and as a one man team, Lamborghini should watch this, and after should be offering you a job, then you get a discount on parts.The rich and famous drive these all day long, but to take the task on like that you deserve to own a car like that, and by the sounds of it you worked hard to get there.Hats off to you man!!!!!!
It doesn't look that hard or tight to work on it, coming from Audi guy.
I mean, Audi and Lamborghini are both owned by VW, so they're basically the same, which is why there's a meme going around that an Audi R8 is the cheapest way into a Lamborghini Huracan.
"..........coming from Audi guy"
Not saying much, bro.
It does say a lot, this Gallardo is the same as most Audi's. The v10 from this car is from the Audi S6, and a lot of the parts of this car are from the VW parts bin.
Hunter TheAviator No, it doesn't say a lot. VAG products are a PIA to work on. When my Golf GTI had a broken glove box latch, I had to tear apart 1/3 of the interior just to replace it.
Seriously, we're talking about a clutch. He's ripped half his car apart for a stupid clutch. There are entire engine and transmission replacements that require less work. If this were a Ford, the replacement time would be done in a few hours.
I had a clutch disc stuck like that to the flywheel in an old vw bug that had been sitting for 20 years. Once it was separated, it was fine. Put it back in, and run it. It's in your garage now, so it's not like moisture is gonna get back in there. If it sticks again, you are only out your time of yanking it back apart, which surprisingly didn't look that bad. Major props for taking a project like this on. I wrench on cars for work, and would be scared to death of dropping this kind of cash on a car that could potentially be a lawn ornament.
Loving the lambo build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Justin West I'm loving that he is actually building something instead of buying new cars.
Keep up the update schedule! Love waking up and being in the loop with your build. You have balls of steel for undertaking this IMO
Tavarish, clutch looks OK. Like others have mentioned this was likely caused from it getting wet and sitting for a while. You may have the best luck wet sanding the plate and disks on a piece of plate glass. The glass will help you maintain a fairly flat surface, which is what you are going for.
I'd also get the specs for the clutch from the manufacturer. Hopefully those will help you determine where you are at for wear.
Make a garage cleanup video😂
Waseem H his garage looked like one of a shady mechanic
Dead😂😂
Are you really gaining 10k subs a day? That’s absolutely nuts.
totally deserving.
His calculation did make sense
He got 12k subs alone just yesterday.
s alvanip I had no idea who this guy was until I saw he bought that Lambo and I was hooked
I came in from B is for Beastality. I don't really like the clickbaity thumbnails but am going to sub&watch
If you Listen closely you can hear Ed Bolian crying
Can't wait to see this beast on the road 💪
I subbed u for this lambo! You make great content, so I'll stay.
Sameer Khan me too
Hey T! Early Porsche 928s also have a twin-disc clutch with an intermediate plate. A light sanding to take off what appears to be simple surface corrosion from sitting should do it. Shouldn't affect balance at all. But you also need to make sure that the intermediate plate can self-adjust, so make sure to clean up all the sliding surfaces and also on the pressure plate. Just use some scotchbrite or some 220 sandpaper. Earlier you also asked about the Throwout bearing. Looks okay to me. Not directly familiar with that setup, but many will have a high-temp/high-pressure grease to allow the clutch and TO bearing to slide on the splines (without flinging off into the clutch itself.) Don't clean off the grease. Progress looks great.
My man Tavarish blowing up!!! Let's go! Been here since 36k geez. Great content!
TheThinkingDumbGuest Robloc
I remember a couple of days ago it was 196k subs
Lmao I hate you thinking dumb your games are cringe
So much room for "Activities" Stepbrothers! Wire wheel that clutch! You definitely found the problem. Its common for cars that sit. you can see if the clutch is free by putting the trans in gear while engine is off then spinning the rear wheels or wheel stubs. You can also do it out of the car to see if the trans rotates.
ne2i yup. Probably sat in high humidity for a while while stored, or got wet before it was stored. Maybe something to do with putting out the fire. Clean it up if you want to, but it's not really necessary. I personally wouldn't touch the clutch surfaces, just leave them as is.
Exactly. Some of the fire retardants are corrosive. Id just chuck it back together and see. Looks like a big version of my Audi TT Quattro.
ne2i I wouldn’t think it would hurt to hit the metal plates with some high grit sandpaper to clean and smooth the surface back up. Not sure if a wire wheel would take off a bit too much material, but I guess that would give a good surface for the clutch discs to bite.
It probably needs a proper de-glazing. A sanding disk on the drill would do it. Just hit the really corroded bits with wire. Done this before when the flywheel was in good shape. It looks like he could get away with it here.
Check for trans rotation. The levers where the cables connect can be manipulated to get it into gear on the bench. either spin the axle stubs or the input shaft while in gear to check for free rotation. Whatever is easier for you.
Hey man when you removed the clutch you should unbolt it in a star pattern evenly. Its possible to break clutch components.
I would also recommend buying a clutch alignment tool for when you reinstall the clutch, being twin plates its very hard to line one up without one.
Ive removed a triple plate clutch which had been in water and rusted together, seperated it like such and used scotchbrite on the intermediate plates and put alittle grease on the input shaft, the car still runs today with 960hp.. we didnt replace the clutch because it was in still very new condition only seen a few power skids..
You could on paper re install that without touching it and it should work :/ Cars ahaha, Love the vids!
UsedPhore skin
juicyfruit10001000
same on pubg, steam and discord, Always keen on squads.. Im australian if that makes a difference
What's your background in Mechanics? How do you know how to do all this shit?? This is better then Reality TV.. LOL LOL LOL
SEANJOHN 92663 his a car guy
SEANJOHN 92663 trial and error only way to learn
Taking it apart is easy but potting it back together is the real challenge... lol
By breaking the car on friday and having to get to work on monday
Being a back yard mechanic myself, i disagree, lol, disassembly is the agonizing part, reassembly is the easy part XD
If any Lambo parts companies / tuners wanna sponsor someone and get their brand name out there, now is your chance !!! Hit up Tavarish sharpish !!!
I think Lamborghini's brand name is already out there😂😂
Probaly some of the best marketing a company could do. Hundreds of thousands of people would see
Hey bro great work on the lambo so far. I think you might luck out with the clutch it seems like it the plates were just rusty. I would clean them up and install them back in. Try the cheap route first. Yeah you might spend an extra 6 hrs but is it worth saving 2 to 5 grand?
Dude, I am absolutely loving this build and journey with you, I really hope you can get this baby the way you want it soon and without too many issues. I can't wait to see the day it's complete.
It's good that the throw out bearing still spins yes but you need to check it for throw see if it's going in and out like it's supposed to that's the reason you're not able to disengage and engage while the input shaft is spinning or in other words when the engine is on
Love the overall tenacity of getting to the bottom of the issues. All the negative sideline quarterbacks need to take a step back and understand this video series is the real deal and stifle your inane commentary and unthinking pop offs because he is doing something outside of YOUR comfort zone. I note that most of the time the author has a list of multiple things that can be wrong, and this is is important to recognize. This is a great series and gets better wit each new video. We are fortunate to be in the position to look over his shoulder.
Tavarish is dismantling a frickin' lambo, and i don't even have the will to glue a new display to one of my phones.
Well, maybe i'll do it over the weekend.
Anyway -
Good luck with your projects, man.
I see a great future ahead for you.
Open a couple repair shops for luxury cars over there. Or something like that.
Looks like you're good at fixing things. Get together a team.
Make it big!
You know you can!
You got some stuff in your hair right around when you pulled the passenger side turbo off lol. You've got a new subscriber too! Love the vids man!
Kris McMillen tavarish complaining no one brought up the twig. but he removed my comment about the white powder in his nose During the Aston farewell video😂
So you guys are fans of his I take it lol?
Been there done that, my Mitsubishi starion had the disc freeze to the flywheel after it sat for a while. I put it in gear, revved it up and kept yanking the e brake until it broke free. No issues after that, long as you use it , it will take no time at all the burn all the corrosion off.
Dude, good luck with Lambo! Great project! Subscribed last week, and looking forward to new vids every day.
started from a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 now we here !!!!! love your channel and content freddy , been here since the start
this lamborghini is going to be unforgettable when its done
I´m not a car guy at all, i don´t know how i found this channel but i really enjoy watching your lambo journey so far
Greetings from Austria
My favourite quote from step brothers. “ there’s so much room for activities “
I would not turn that floater plate on a lathe mostly likely hardend and very difficult to actually turn it. The best bet is to get it surface ground.
Words of wisdom from a machinist
1blisslife true that I'm sure he will talk to spec furst
Dan And we’ve got words of wisdom from a machinist here, the fuck we need spec for??? You trying to insult Dan? His word ain’t good for you bitch? Dan you gonna take this shit? This bozo thinks he can disrespect you.
kryptoniteee did you just ask Dan if Dan insulted Dan? Damn Dan!
Yes, it seems he did.
Taylor Toth hahaha I think I did...I’m new to this trolling business
Since it is only your labor involved, I'd hit the rusty bits with a scotchbrite pad in a 90 degree air grinder. Don't forget to clean up the input shaft splines and lubricate them properly as well - you want everything to slide freely. Then slap it together and give it a try!
Hey really love the content, its really cool to see somebody with the courage to take apart a lamborghini in their garage and figure out the problem themselves as opposed to going to a dealer and buying their whole way to the experience of driving a beautiful car like this. No offense to those who do that, but its a refreshing to see somebody show that you can buy a cheap lamborghini and work on it yourself to enjoy the experience of driving one. This is really unique! Thanks for sharing the experience of taking it apart and diagnosing the problem instead of just making a video saying something like, "Took it to my mechanic, he fixed it!" Repairing is just as much as a rewarding experience as driving.
I can't stop watching your videos
if you need to " lathe" something flat...rather than paying a really good diy is to glue a few squares of sandpaper to a sheet of 1/4" glass and just slide the item around to make it PERFECTLY flat again. I've also see this method done to flatten valve covers and engine heads...works great...wet sanding too (the water create enough surface tension that it sticks to the glass)
You've got a twig on your hair :D
Hope you checked the clutch hydraulics before you dived in ! While the box is out would be easy to change the gearbox oil. Good luck, you're a brave man !
Hey tavarish..I've been waiting for this video the whole the...love to be here..All the best for the lambo
If a part falls on your feet, it'll cost you more than your lambo .. Safety first, man..
The clutch plates and fly wheel can be surfaced with fine sand paper glued to a sheet of glass. Lap it with a figure 8 pattern, to take all the surface rust off. No balance problems, no lathe work required.
4504 a throwout bearing slave cylinder oh my goodness get your checkbook ready that's what's wrong bro the Builder knew how to put the clutch in that thing is broke
64 thousand dollars and a lot of depression. Loving the build though
This is one of the best channels man. Can't wait till you get the Lamborghini running
Love this series 😍
Tavarish, you should look into the company mightycarmods used in I think australia or NZ they had a not so expensive high quality clutch unit and it was made specific to their car by the company. It might be cheaper cost effective because its a lesser known brand but looked incredible. Dont re-use that clutch imho bite the bullet and spend on a new unit and go over the transmission with a fine tooth comb one bad piece could destroy an even more expensive item.
Wire brush it and reinstall it! Its probably stuck together from sitting. Good luck and keep the updates coming!
Day 86: the shirt has become a part of his body, we will always know that he is the warranty
This series is baller 😤😤
The clutch on my off road rig gets stuck sometimes. Just bump start it and it will break free. Or while its apart, scotch bright it, and throw it back in.
Lamborghini series!FTW!
Notification squad where you at
Nobody knows...
Bring it back to stock get rid of all that spaghetti wiring and make sure it’s right. Keep it up man, admire your enthusiasm
Trust me, put a new clutch kit in it. ( I do this for a living) If you try to fix this you only have small chance it will work for a very small amount of time.
Patrick Carta YES. He 100% needs a clutch
cenariusbg trying to fix this one is simply stupid.

I agree 100%. I've never heard of putting a clutch that had issues back in a car again. It looks like it has enough wear to warrant at least replacing the parts that Spec says need to be replaced. I wouldn't do anything else until it's gone back to the manufacturer to see if they can reuse any of the old parts, but I'd be prepared to replace with new.
Tavarish: Im a new viewer and just want to say congrats on the new Lambo! It's super interesting seeing you take it apart and will be awesome when you get it running!
Clutch is very fixable- simply heat seized. The rust just makes it look worse than it is. Yes you can do this at home. Depending on how warped (maybe not warped at all), you can true it at home or can have it turned at a machine shop. Get yourself a straight edge and if its not warped more than 1/16th of an inch either way, you can handle it yourself old school on a granite/glass table and large format sand paper (various grits). As you will be taking off metal on the flat, the balance will not be affected. Make sure the clutch material is sanded rough as well as the heat will have glazed the pads. If you want to chat about it, PM me and i'll be happy to explain it. Best of luck- great project.
What i would do is wirewheel the metal plates and light sand paper the other plates,. cant hurt at all. That clutch is fine, just needs a little clean up.
You’re smart man, I wouldn’t even know how to take the tail lights out 😂
This is great. DIY videos for exotics, are really rare. Only one guy had videos for my ferrari 348

I restore old woodworking tools (and have a challenger 🤪) - try soaking those plates in Evaporust. Stuff is magic and you can get it at Harbor Freight. It runs about $25 a gallon. It’s a biodegradable solution that eats rust and leaves everything else alone.
2 words: FINANCIAL TURMOIL
I was thinking: THIRD MORTGAGE
I think you should ask TheStradman because he had a clutch problem too

The clutch problem cost $6,000 to fix Stradman Lambo
sammyscion1 I was going to say the same thing...
It would’ve separated those clutch packs apart if you started it in gear and pushed the clutch in to rev it most likely
Props for doing it ur self I'm a mechanic myself and in my opinion the car was built by hand you can damn sure take it apart just as easy it's not rocket science... and yeah you should be able to resurface the parts of the clutch
A couple of options, scotch brite pads on the steel discs will clean them up, but dont get carried away. bead blast the metal plate. Contact SPEC and have them check it out. The last one is the only way to be 100% certain it is good. The other ways would be fine 90% of the time, but as you know, pulling a transmission for a stuck disc sucks. I would venture to say, if you just put it back together it would work fine. The car probably has been sitting (thus the corrosion) and just had stuck discs. This is very common. Putting it back together and running it will clean those discs up in short order.
I hope he sees this, since it was lightly seized, they probably won't stick once you put the clutch back together. Once the discs start turning they SHOULD be fine. There's always a chance of it screwing up again though.
Yea, and impregnate all that crap into the pad surface. It needs to be cleaned up with scotch bright first.
Very nnice build series you started here! most youtubers don't show that much detail, keep it up
