More in clutch knee. Don't think it's clutch. I think I injured it working out or when fell down my stairs last week. My knee buckles on me at random times. I'm gona try my tens on it and some ice. I'm gona also start isolating it at gym. Running is bad for knees too but its good cardio

Medical attention may be in order.

This is definitely the lightest clutch I've ever used, that's why I like it so much. No problem even in traffic, and I have a bad left knee as well. As someone said, test drive and compare.

So this isn't about the car or clutches at all, it's a work out injury. If that's the case, steer clear of driving as much as possible while you heal. how I know? busted knee caps from debts gone bad.

No more tears please, I work out pretty hard and I already tore my labrium and opted out of surgery for physical therapy. Took months and thousands of dollars.

It hurts whatever I drive, whether I'm on my clutch or in the wife's auto. Maybe a sports massage is needed

Try a knee support see what happens. And maybe you need to lose a bit of weight if your knee is buckling.

You musta missed the part where I said I work out, I run, I hike and bike.

But wait! SOME that frequent this forum can not only do it faster, but can be faster while double clutching.

Some of the new supercars have a dual clutch system which actually has a computer involved to anticipate which gear you are most likely to go for next.

Well, now, @RichardsFRS , I reckon that age is taking its toll on your body.....

Just the other day, I was carrying our store bought, pre-assembled, pre-lighted Christmas tree up from the basement, when my knee or hip or both buckled and down I went .......

But, I didn't blame the Christmas tree ........
