Have a  total left knee 
replacement scheduled for tomorrow and the thought occured  to me that 
useing the clutch on my 63 Spyder may be difficult, even after  rehab.  
Anybody been through this or know someone who has....and what  was the 
result? 


Hi Bill, 
I had both knees replaced at the same time about 8 years ago. If my  
experience is anything like yours will be, you will have a month or so getting  back 
to normal and after that you will be at 95-99% of age 30. I go months and  
months without ever realizing I've got metal knees. Only thing I don't do  like 
when I was young is jog, since this jars the knees. I can run well  tho.
Don't worry about having a clutch.

Bob Helt
