Help...Clutch Replacement Needed

There’s a saying that life comes in seasons. There’s sailing season, and then there are other seasons where it seems like everything you own has decided to break.

We have just come back from an amazing summer of sailing (mostly motoring)... with Captain Casper the cat, Sparkles the dog, and Athenia the first mate. We did have several big mechanical adventures along the way, but all in all, we were all on a boat, on the ocean, together, and that's all that counts.

Now that I’m back on land, apparently the mechanical adventures are not quite finished. They’ve followed me home and landed squarely on my Toyota Yaris.

I’m hoping someone on Thetis knows how to fix a clutch and has some time to do it. The Yaris has just enough go left in it to hopefully get me to you!

I’ll happily pay a reasonable rate, and I can even provide a brand-new clutch kit. You just need to actually know what you’re doing.

If that’s you, you know someone who is, I’d be very grateful for a message. Even a recommendation off island, but big shop pricing isn't in my budget.

This message is brought to you by Elite and Athenia. Captain Casper, and Sparkles, could care less about mechanical issues. They’d rather we just stay home and cuddle.
