Rebuilding a Broken Lamborghini Gallardo Transmission - Can I Save It? - Part 1

Excited to share my journey learning how to rebuild the Graziano L140 Transmission that's used in the Lamborghini Gallardo and Generation 1 Audi R8.
This transmission was reported to not shift from the shop when run at operating temperature, and was gathering dust at a junkyard. Can we diagnose what went wrong and save it?

Man, this is some grade A content, can't believe it hasn't gotten more traction. That said, I greatly enjoy it - many thanks! 🙏

You are incredible - all of this is your hobby?

[@ftwgarage]

It's starting to become something more than a hobby. I would love to figure out a way to help other owners repair their transmissions. I've come to love working on transmissions.

Great video, sleeper channel, you're doing great hidden work that is much appreciated! I have a 2014 r8 v8 manual, I belive my catalytic converter is shot so I gotta tackle that soon, and the whole engine and trans have to come out, and your other videos have been great guide on how to remove.

[@ftwgarage]

Epic job you're going to do! Amazing! Make sure to add a heatshield on top of the mechanical actuator when you're done w/ that job!

[@lukegoodwin2160]

​@@ftwgarage Yes for sure, gotta refresh my memory on your tip videos and make sure I address everything.

[@jimf5160]

in my experience, using a plastering or spackling knife is less likely to mar the surfaces when you split the case.

[@ftwgarage]

Ahh good tip, going to try that next time!

What is going on with the camera? Every time it moves it blurs so bad, hard to watch.

[@ftwgarage]

The camera was mounted on a tripod when I recorded every thing. Which part was it blurry for you? Can you check if you're watching at a higher quality version?
