[QUOTE="pawfeejer, post: 862620, member: 21461"] Just to add one more data point: 2007 FJR with only about 4k miles. Got it a few months ago with 1k on it, and shifting seemed clunky. Clutch would not always disengage immediately when lever was pulled. Did the clutch soak today. Inner and outer disks were oily; most of the rest were basically dry. Reassembled, and shifting is notably improved. Took about 2 hrs. I noticed that my manual simply said to "lube" the clutch parts, with engine oil - didn't say anything about soaking overnight. So I only soaked for 30-40 minutes. Seems to have done the trick. [/QUOTE]
