Hi all i did a clutch on a lexus is200 sport 3 months ago straight forward swap no problem but bloke came to me today and asked me to tow him in as its gone again,

Won't pull at all and stinks of burnt out clutch, Now i dont know what hes done to it but its fucked,

So apart from him giving it some stick can anyone think whats caused the clutch to go again especially so soon?

Do the flywheels need skimming on these as i didnt have it skimmed when i fitted the clutch before,

Any help very much appreciated oh and i think its a 2 litre straight 6???

cheers, Grant

I work on toyota and used to work on lexus. Ive never come across that before. Hes not an old person is he cause ive done loads of clutchs on toyota,cause they are owned by old people n they rest there foot on the clutch causing them to burn out. Did you use a cheap clutch cause i would reckonmend a dealer part clutch.

It's a dual mass flywheel.

If that's started leaking then that wil kill a new clutch

Ideally they should be replaced as a pair, but they are fook expensive

yep ive just changed my bosses rav 4 duel mass fly wheel and clutch because the springs in the fly wheel had broken

Oh shit that doesn't sound good how expensive are they then? The clutch used was a blueprint or bluesprint blue something anyway cheers, Grant

blueprint bits are usually very good so i'd be very suprised if it was that at fault!

we had similar last month it was some old todger who couldnt drive the car properly and was pulling away in third

Bungle

No thats not the reason this lads 25 and thinks he can drift

Even so 3 months to kill a clutch is good going by any standards
