We wanted to thank Stradman for choosing our newest and lightest HT350 Kevlar clutch. We have 3 Gallardo Kevlar clutch models and HT350 is our top of the line. The throw out bearing is a modified LP throw out bearing with thicker and better seals so it will last longer than an oem. We are glad that we were able to save you a lot of money on the throw out bearing. James, thank you for making this video because a lot of our customers kept asking for a video that shows the installation. Your video is very informative and fun to watch. Great job...

He also mentioned 7k, so it was 10 with labor?

yeah, around $7k for parts, $2k and change for labor, and then tax, etc...

[@Trancecend]

yes

The hero we don't deserve

And I thought £1,100 was expensive to get the clutch replaced on a Porsche 944 S2.

Good job James, nice work you're almost at half a million subs! Been here since 30k and still enjoy your videos

[@TheMatrixcube]

love your journey man! but you need an exhaust in your life! that v10 can scream like an f1 the car will never be the same again

[@calvincooley1074]

James if you don't know it yet, I'm putting it out there that YOU are likely the most popular exotic car vlogger. You are polite, articulate and WITHOUT cocky arrogant attitude. I'll be nice and not mention the others. I've seen very few of the other be offered rides in or more importantly, handed the keys to cars 3 and 4 times the value of your own car. I most respect your clear not polluted speech not tainted by foul language. keep up the EXCELLENT work! You set the bar high and VERY few have come remotely near it. Maybe Dr. m3 but that's it.

[@CharleyGeorge]

James, it seems you did really well on the repair and Makes and Models are true champions to convert that throughout bearing for you. I give them a huge shout out for sure. When my father had a body shop there was this awesome dude who ran a gas station right next door. He was top notch guy all the integrity in the world. He used to do things like that all the time saving time and money for loads of people. He is now retired, on a note lol he actually bought an entire mountain in West Virginia. He told me stories of people running around on his land in hunting season. He was more than ok with it as long as they stayed out of the posted areas. Any ways I digress. Great job on the fix and I wish you some major luck in the future.

[@mcdonaldswi-fi9502]

Stradman, are you bringing your Lambo to The festival of cars car show in Bend Oregon in September?

[@tat2titan]

You should get a free flowing exhaust system! I know you mentioned it in the video. Those huge chambered mufflers are probably restrictive.

[@javiff1]

Whenever I’m bored I re watch old videos of Stradman 🤘🏼

[@BrennenL]

There have been so many insane cars on your channel lately, it is kind of refreshing to see your first gen again! Sweet.

[@joshdosesomthing6678]

Okay now I'm digging those wheels.

[@marstall04]

I hope the ad revenue from my viewing and like smash helps off set the cost

[@hiaeine6040]

marstall04 the ad revenue is SHIT bro , take my word I have a channel with 100k views and I got less than 1 fucking dollar .... youtube has changed ALOT .

[@Belicose777]

ĐHIĂ ÊĐĐINÊ 100k views is absolutely nothing. You need millions of views a month for any significant revenue. Also different ads pay different CPMs.

[@LF-lv4ov]

ĐHIĂ ÊĐĐINÊ 100k views is £100-£300

[@natedogg8816]

L Frosty not anymore Huge change in the system you'll be lucky to get that unless your a toy review channel lol

[@LF-lv4ov]

nathan green thts wht u'll make if u post 10 min videos with atleast 3 ads

[@CrazyCowboyBuilds]

Good info on the throw out bearing Strad. Any issues with your AWD and the new wheels? I've seen some cars destroy their transmissions with the wrong front to rear ratio size %

[@herco2543]

I like your honesty in your videos. I wish more youtubers were like you. Keep up the vids. Your doing a great job.

[@davis2166]

i love that James knows 'irregardless' isnt a word but still keeps saying it anyways

[@cadebarnes2733]

Dude I think I was almost as excited as you where to see your car back ok the road lol and I don't even drive it!

[@PaulKeepsItReal]

Great seeing the car back in good running order. The Gallardo is the car that made me fall in love with Lamborghini, it's timeless. Looks great in Orange!

[@golders99]

Great to see your car is back, I am loving the new wheels more and more!

[@Barnacules]

$9k for a clutch? Holy shit...

[@9009billa]

Hey bro ! lots of love from India...it gives me great joy to see an average person like us going so forward and trying to capture every car as possible in his camera so we can enjoy your content...really love to see all the hard work what you put in these beautiful vlogs...hope you are killing it today!! have fun..cheers

[@robincregan]

Thankyou for the vids. I appreciate them.

[@march11stoneytony]

My buddy random showed me a car video and it was on your channel!!!! Blowing up Stradman!

[@_droid]

Someone touched the new clutch with greasy hands. It's only a few spots but still, it could cause "chattering" and such which means it could have uneven wear and a short life. Never, *ever*, touch a clutch pad or brake pad. There is simply no way to clean them and one greasy spot can ruin it.

[@MacNifty]

especially once it heats up and that oil cooks.

[@thatdudeKarim]

Those wheels need to be black and those calipers orange. Make it happen Stradman

[@bmorehemi392]

👍🏾👍🏾 on black wheels ...I put black wheels on all my cars

Or silver. The dark gray is a little off.

Finally it's been forever bro I would have went crazy not driving it for so long 😂

[@jdnthc]

Hi stradman nice vid

[@Addimotive]

Man that rear subframe paint looks pretty nasty, previous rear-end accident?

[@stefanm1603]

I was looking at the same thing,that rear sub has work done ,the welds are off

[@fazebot2405]

Definitely looks like it has been worked on, the repair/welds look very unprofessional

[@fazebot2405]

definitely looks like it has been repaired. The repairs/weld look very badly welded

[@Addimotive]

WillamBernahe; Cooking I don't know what mud looks like from where you come from, but that definitely doesn't look like mud from where I'm from. Definitely looks like a poor paint job after some repairs were done

[@pops55650]

Possible damage on the rear subframe, but then doesnt the exhaust sit right over that? With some baked on oil maybe.?

[@TheDutchTexan]

That Corrado in the background though! And I agree with keeping the liability with the pro's. There is a reason why they do what they do! Still a lot of dough though! That's my classic car project rolling down the road right there. Still saving up to get to that goal.

[@Dragoonx009]

[@DFWsCars]

That sucks. I was so so close to a Gallardo for my supercar. My wallet is glad I went another direction now.

[@DFWsCars]

To clarify- 7k isn’t bad, but it’s still that Italian tax for sure.

[@emmanuelhernandez5865]

DFWs Cars his is 2006 so that's why it's so weak

[@CpRoOtY]

DFWs Cars what did you end up getting

[@DFWsCars]

Emmanuel Hernandez make sense, sadly a 2006 woulda been the one in my 60-90k budget 😂

[@Wouter-van-der-Molen]

Gallardo is a weak on the engine/transmission department in terms of lifespan. It needs an engine rebuild after 50k miles I've heard

[@pops55650]

Glad to see it on the road again!

[@ivansage5337]

Damn, its good to see it back!

Put an new exhaust (IPE or Armytrix) on the Gallardo while it is off

[@tat2titan]

Yes! That OEM exhaust looks like it would be restrictive w/ those huge chambered mufflers!

[@Kvn_e36]

HNP Cars ew armytrix.

[@horiapopescu5224]

I'm so glad that you were able to retrieve your Gallardo 😃🇺🇸!

Hey buddy, Im glad you got your car back. 2 weeks must of felt like a lifetime! I hope your happy with the new parts for the car.

Anything to save some money cause Uncle Sam already over taxes us to death just to afford there Rediculouslly large paychecks while taking in Corporate bribes to screw over the tax payer. Heck let them blow billions of it overseas while in the USA we need it for infrastructure, Healthcare, etc. Welcome to America :) You can write-off anything if you know the loophole and its perfectly legal ;)

[@DannysGarage]

Honestly, for an exotic car, that looks pretty easy to work on. Lots of access to everything, and the layout of the drivetrain is very straightforward.

[@homeisneptune9315]

Got 39K out of the clutch huh? my honda just broke 210K...original clutch. you would think that a company that used to build farm tractors would have a stronger unit.....

[@waverip3rs]

Your Honda doesn't have the horse power or torque that a Lamborghini has.

[@joshsmotroff7017]

its a sports car. the companies make it not last long so ppl have to buy new ones. they arent supposed to last a long time, 40k is a lot for that kind of clutch

[@TheMentalblockrock]

It's really an Audi, that's why it's shit.

[@SuperReviews4you]

Its handling 4x the torque and power but its also 4x as expensive. If not more.

[@renegadezen7841]

Yes! New record. I only had to scroll down about 5 comments to find someone comparing a Lamborghini to a Honda. Excllent you are here to enlighten us with comparisons on two vehicles that are worlds apart and should never be compared in any way other than that they both have 4 wheels.

[@ke0kie]

Was your clutch one of those early generation ones made durable as a paper plate? What's the durability expectation on the replacement kevlar unit?

[@HG504X]

Get rid of it. Its losing value quick as it sits. Get a 911 GT3, R8 V10 or a Mclaren 540/570.
