[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1462896, member: 118"] Ahhhh...... I didn't catch that the original post was two years old and a bit out of date. And yes, if a clutch issue, I would expect more slipping in upper gears as has been the case of the two bad and slipping FJR clutches I've encountered over the years. As for the slipper clutch..... I have owned three 6-spped FJRs with it - still own two. And of course I still own several FJRs with the normal clutch. I think the lighter clutch pull is a noticeable improvement. The slipper function is nifty too. I just have one concern. The shifting quality of all three of the 6-spped FJRs I have owned is not as good as the 5-speeds. Now, the question is, is that due to the slipper clutch? Or the differently cut gears of the 6-speed tranny? That would be my only hesitation in installing it in a pre - '16 FJR. [/QUOTE]
