    Default looking for Egear snapshot datapoints

    Have you had an Egear snapshot done on your Gallardo?
    If so, then would you mind posting some of the numbers?

    I am *NOT* looking for just "xx.y mm" or "xx% remaining"
    which are most often quoted by dealers and owners, but
    rather for these raw numbers:

    - Clutch Pressure Plate Stroke (xx.y mm)
    - Clutch Pressure Plate Stroke Reference (xx.y mm)
    - Clutch Position Closed -- as when new (xx.y mm)
    - Clutch Deterioration Index (xxxxx)
    - Coupling Counter (xxx for N/1/2/3/4/5/6/R)
    - Space Covered (xxx for N/1/2/3/4/5/6/R)
    - Odometer Reading (km or miles)

    See [1] for an example.

    I ask because I'd like to interpret one of my snapshots. It
    showed what I believe to be interesting data... but I need
    more datapoints... before I really believe that my clutch is
    going to last in excess of 50,000 miles. (Yep, that is what
    my data suggests.)

    Default E-gear clutch wear happiness

    Fwiw, with my 22,500 mile service just completed, I now do have another
    E-gear snapshot for my car. Therefore I can compare it with the one from
    the 15,000 mile service last summer.

    At 15,000 miles I saw this usage:

    Neutral 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Reverse
    Coupling Counter(%) 17.08% 22.55% 20.27% 15.17% 9.84% 7.20% 3.33% 4.56%
    Space Covered(%) 0.02% 0.51% 6.71% 13.59% 11.09% 7.15% 60.94% 0.00%

    At 22,500 miles I saw this usage:

    Neutral 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Reverse
    Coupling Counter(%) 17.29% 21.99% 19.87% 15.42% 10.35% 7.58% 3.51% 4.00%
    Space Covered(%) 0.03% 0.48% 6.23% 13.87% 12.66% 9.82% 56.91% 0.00%

    In short: my driving pattern is extremely consistent.

    In terms of clutch wear I have seen this:

    3986 miles = 0.99 mm = n/a
    6160 miles = 1.13 mm = 0.0644 mm per 1k mi
    15105 miles = 1.60 mm = 0.0549 mm per 1k mi (incl. road trip mostly in 6th)
    22459 miles = 2.09 mm = 0.0595 mm per 1k mi

    In short: a fairly consistent wear rate of ~0.06 mm per 1k miles.

    The OEM Gallardo clutch is said to be fully worn in the ~5.0-5.5 mm range.

    I got ~2.9-3.4 mm to go, which should translate into another ~48-56k mi.

    Plus the 22.5k miles that I already have on the odometer... and I should be
    looking at a new clutch during the 60,000 mile service. (Well, probably that
    would be the next owner -- I'm currently planning on ~45,000 miles for me.)

    I would like to better understand this one:

    self-calibrated clutch slip position start (PIS) delta

    And I would like to know the formula for this one:

    clutch deterioration index

    The rest I already understand.
