Newbie Asking About Clutch

[Pozzor]

Hello! Im new here I own a is200... but its left side drive, I'm from Venezuela, and had it imported straight from Italy. Buy now I have encountered a problem... The clutch is fried... so I need a new one asap... I know they can be bought in Japan but it will take too long and it's much more expensive than the other aftermarket ones. I have seen the Aisin KT-259D (the one used by toyota) and the Blue Print ADT330146 clutch kit, now... before I goy buying something that wont fit I wanted to ask you gentlemen if indeed the Blue Print Clutch Kit would work on my left hand drive is200... everything checks out fine on amazon but I wanted another opinion!

I would very much apreciate you feedback!

Thanks guys!

Hello Roman and welcome to the LOC.

I've checked the Lexus part numbers for both LHD and RHD models and the part numbers for the clutch parts are the same so you should be fine ordering either kit.

Aisin make the automatic transmissions for Lexus so are well respected, Blue print also have a good reputation for quality.

Excellent, let us know how it goes and post some pictures up of your IS when you get the chance.

You may be the only member in Venezuela we have in the LOC so be good to see the car in it's new location :)

Is it true that petrol over there is a few cents a litre?

Oh for sure i'll post pics soon!

Yeah it is true water is more expensive than gas... (Petrol for you) I could pay for my full tank of gas on the IS just short of 0.50 cents of a dollar... Nowhere in the world... But we also have some serious problems economically... But change is coming soon :)
