Be that as it may, I have had a variety of cars over the last 35 or so years, some of which had over 100K miles on the clock, and I have never had to replace a clutch.

Indeed so Tinks


I'm sorry to hear about your OHs problems, and I can see how an automatic would help in that situation, at least for his left knee.

(It would have helped me return to driving sooner too, if I had broken my left ankle instead of the right one!)
