Manual Conversion for Lamborghini Murciélago & Gallardo
There’s something truly special about changing gears by hand — that mechanical connection between driver, engine, and road that modern paddle-shift systems can’t match.
At Supercar Service, we make that connection possible again with our bespoke manual conversions for the Lamborghini Murciélago and Gallardo. Moreover, we’re among the very few specialists in the UK — and worldwide — with the knowledge, experience, and tooling required to perform these conversions to OEM or better standards.

- Engagement – full driver control over every shift.
- Reliability – simpler mechanical setup, fewer electronic faults.
- Value – rising demand for manual Lamborghinis on the collector market.
- Authenticity – the way these cars were meant to be driven.

Manual Conversions: Common Questions from Murciélago & Gallardo Owners
Can my Lamborghini Murciélago or Gallardo really be converted to a manual?
Yes. Both models can indeed be converted from e-gear to a true manual transmission.<br><br>
Moreover, we’ve completed numerous successful conversions using genuine Lamborghini or OEM-spec parts. As a result, you can enjoy the pure mechanical driving experience that true enthusiasts love.
Why should I convert my Lamborghini to manual?
Many owners find the e-gear system less engaging. However, a manual conversion restores full driver control and creates a stronger connection with the car.<br><br>
Additionally, it improves reliability and can significantly enhance resale value.<br><br>
Factory manuals are now rare and highly sought after by collectors, so a proper conversion can make your Lamborghini even more desirable.
Do you use genuine Lamborghini parts for the conversion?
Yes. Wherever possible, we install genuine Lamborghini components or OEM-grade parts sourced from trusted suppliers.<br><br>
Therefore, each conversion maintains factory-level precision, long-term reliability, and lasting value.
How long does the manual conversion take?
On average, conversions take around four to eight weeks, depending on parts availability and the vehicle’s condition.<br><br>
Before work begins, we always carry out a detailed inspection and provide a clear estimate and timeline. Consequently, you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Can you convert both right-hand drive and left-hand drive cars?
Yes. We perform manual conversions on both RHD and LHD Murciélagos and Gallardos.<br><br>
Each installation is carefully customised for linkage geometry, wiring, and interior layout. Therefore, every converted vehicle operates perfectly and feels factory-built.
How authentic does the manual feel?
Our conversions replicate the genuine Lamborghini factory manual feel.<br><br>
In fact, we match gated shifters, clutch weighting, and precise gear engagement to achieve complete authenticity. Consequently, the result is a car that drives and feels completely original.
Will the electronics and dashboard still work correctly?
Yes. We reprogram the ECU and integrate the gearbox electronics so all dash functions, drive modes, and diagnostics operate exactly as intended.<br><br>
Moreover, your Lamborghini remains fully compatible with factory diagnostic tools and service procedures.
Does a manual conversion increase the car’s value?
Typically, yes. A well-executed conversion often increases market value, particularly for collectors seeking rare manual Lamborghinis.<br><br>
Furthermore, our work focuses on authenticity, craftsmanship, and documentation—three key factors that preserve and enhance long-term value.<br><br>
As a result, your car gains both emotional and financial value through a properly executed manual conversion.
Is it safe to have this work done outside a Lamborghini main dealer?
Definitely. Supercar Service is a trusted independent Lamborghini specialist.<br><br>
We use factory-grade diagnostic tools, genuine parts, and meticulous installation processes. As a result, the standard of our work equals or even exceeds main-dealer quality.
Can you arrange transport for my car?
Yes. We provide secure, covered transport anywhere in the UK and can also assist with logistics for European or US clients.<br><br>
Consequently, your car remains fully insured and handled by professionals experienced with high-value supercars.
Can I customise the look of my manual conversion?
