Any members have left knee replacement and still driving 4 Speed?

If you don't go for big horsepower, you would really like the Centerforce Dual Friction. Holds real well and very light pedal --probably lighter than stock. My left knee will need to be replaced sometime, and I can clutch just fine. I get my right knee replaced in January. Thanks all for the thereapy advice.....................MO

Thanks for your insight. My other car was a 69 Charger SE 383 I had owned for 27 years but was console automatic and really wanted to do 4 speed. I have some hope. Thanks.

Best reply yet!!
Pre and Post op exercises are a must.. I had to use a torture devise due crap knee surgeries prior to replacement.
I had to use a home device like this for a month, PAIN!!!

Like it.

Knee replacements are a piece of cake. After getting a correctly done one....you'll wish it had been done decades earlier. If ya act like a pussy...it won't work well for ya. Just "man-up", do your PT, and get off any pain-killers, ASAP. Some guys need testosterone therapy, more. I had both mine done in 2014, 6 months apart. They wouldn't let me do both at once, due to some circulation issue in my right leg.

Appreciate input. I feel I'm pretty tough like a Dana 60. So I'll man up and get off pain killers when possible and do exercises.

You need a home with an elevator

All that money, I'd rather put it toward a 440-6 or Hemi and sleep at ground level in my garage with the car!

Wow, your situation gives me some hope! Glad your doing better and thanks for feedback.

Get it fixed. I had 6 scopes[3 each knee] and a knee infection[worst pain I've ever endured], before the replacements. Enduring all the pain was stupid.

not sure best place for this post. Just found out I need a total left knee replacement and had been looking at purchasing a 4 speed project prior to do.

My question is: I'm checking for feedback if any members have had this procedure Done since this is clutch leg, healed and continue to drive the 4 speed ride without problems? Thanks all for feedback.

The gentleman I purchased "Abby" (1969 SC/Rambler) could not push the clutch in anymore because his left knee was all worn out!
