I'd say it depends on if it was an egear or not. If it was it will probably need to go to a main dealer or specialist to be reprogrammed as well.

This owner bought it brand new, he bought it to us is because one of my mechanic used to work for a Lambo in GT racing series. We can get it done quicker and do a better job then main dealer! It only took us 8 hours to change the clutch.

Believe it or not, it is actually easier to change the clutch on this then on a EVO..lol you don't need any manual because it is very straight forward and easy.

The bits that take most of the time are taking out all the panel, exhaust, light to get into the gearbox. Once you get to the gearbox, it only take about 45 mins to change the clutch. Then you have to spend another 3.5 hours to put everything back together.

Thanks - still not that cheap then!
I looked at buying one over the winter and was put off by the cost of clutch changes and their frequency
