Thanks for all the helpful hints!I currently have 84k on the odometerQuick question on the actuator, I've been getting a lot of different info on what to grease the actuator with...spray on lithium white grease okay? or does it have to be thicker or thinner stuff?I'm suspecting clutch wear because of the sluggish feel/slipping feel (maybe even glazed) pulling from a stop, and it over revs a little bit when changing gears. I used to be a heavy duty mechanic, so I'm not afraid of working on the car if necessary, but I'm totally new to fortwos...I'll probably take it in to Eddy the next time I'm in the lower mainlands to confirm the diagnoses and pick up more info from gurus like you guys! Thanks for the tips again, I still need to find time to craw underneath to check up on the fork.Canman - All I want from the MB Star right now is to do the clutch teach and programming a new key are there any other programs that can do it cheaper? maybe less features? I do have some connections with powerful computer geeks, so I'm not too worry if computer issues...or I really should b? There's a couple of smart owners here and I figure if I have a copy of MB Star then I can save them a trip to the stealership if necessary hence the motivation...Izzy
