Ok got it.. I don't know EXACTLY where the reading comes in brand new - but other cars that are generally fresh in good condition maybe with 1-2k mileage have a clutch wear reading of 1.1mm to 1.6mm..

For an aventador I was told when it reached 7mm it needs to be replaced.

to be clear the health check report states the clutch WEAR reading 14mm.. how is this possible?

I hope this helps.

Any thoughts?

There’ll be thickness and there’ll be wear. Wear will be derived from the change in friction plate thickness.

Sorry what do you mean?
the current clutch reads 14mm.

it doesn't have a new clutch. Although the current one can be replaced.

As in when you buy an Aventador new, what is the clutch reading? So you can compare your 14mm reading with a new car and how much wear your car currently has (from new).

Hi all,

So I had an aventador sent to a lambo main dealer for a health check.

The clutch reading came in at 14mm. With them advising a full replacement at 7mm. ! How is this even possible?

How serious do you view this? The car has done less than 10k mileage. how is this possible? was it launched multiple times?

Is replacing the clutch ok gie you full comfort - or has it possibly done more damage to the gearbox etc at all?

Would you advise replacing the clutch or would you pass on the car altogether?

Appreciate any feedback.

Thank you!

Why don’t you just ask the dealer who did the health check?

Sometimes you just don’t know, but OP is not coming across as the type of person who would be buying a car such as this. Or maybe it’s just someone quite young without much experience of supercar purchases.

OP appears to be completely out of his depth

I'm really puzzled by the hostilities on this forum..

for those who were kind enough to share there views, I couldn't ask the service manager as he didn't know. We had to wait for a factory assessment of a "BETA report".. they later confirmed the clutch certainly had to be replaced.. and the car had been launched 6 times.

I've found more friendlier crowd at lambo talk. no need for such bullying crowd just because someone asked a simple question.
