 Hello fellow FJ riders . Myself and Mr.Wags are planning on having another FJ clinic. This year we will pull apart a clutch, and go through the steps to do a replacement. All are welcome. There is plenty of room in the garage and in the driveway.
After the clinic we hope to go for a ride in the Niagara peninsula. I hope it isn't snowing still.

 The only other weekend in May that works is the first weekend . That is too early weather wise. So yes, it is the only one that works. John

Pencil moi in please. More than happy to hook up with my FJ compatriots for an early season shindig :good2:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!

Oh here it is...  :pardon:

If my calculations are correct, I will be getting home from work that morning.  What time do the festivities begin?

If my collector box issue is sorted, then I'll be on the bike. If not, it'll have to be the 4 wheel mode of transport.

Depending on my state of awareness after a 12 hr shift, I may have to beg the use of a hammock, or lawn furniture to flake out for a bit before any touring later. If weather permits.

Would love to but Mr. Hersey and I will be carving up the curves in Boone, NC that weekend. Have a great clinic!

 We will  have plenty of airheads, but air shifters? I know not of such things.

Stuart: I take my coffee the way I take my women.

Stacey: Are you sure you want to pay 75 bucks for a cup of coffee?


Sorry but I couldn't resist. It's one of my favourite smack downs from "Spin City"

Excellent! It will be great to meet you...
Its a great way to get the solutions , or fixes, to many of the mysterious problems that come up ... get parts sources, have a few laughs , ... and go for a ride, to boot , with other local FJers .

Right on brother !! I love this site...so much insight... :mocking: even for an airhead like me.. :rofl: . First and most obvious question (and seeing how it relates to this thread). How does it work? How different are they from a regular clutch? Are they hard to squeeze? Are they street friendly? And what type of maintenance should I prepare for? LOL......There's a few for ya? Sorry.... :blush:
