F-Sport Clutch and Quick Shifter
Hey guys,
I have been looking into the F-sport clutch and quick shifter and have 4 questions.
1. How much will it take to install each one?
2. Where is the cheapest to purchase them?
3. What will they do for my IS250?
4. Should I purchase the clutch or shifter or both?
Much thanks,
Kai

4. Shifter before clutch only cause the clutch is simply a stronger pressure plate and wont really change the feel of the (garbage) transmission. but as for the shifter oh man its like day/night.

I have it done on my is250 its a big diff. All around ,but its not a cheap install . I did my car so I save the money on lobar but parts are $700 w/ both parts labor maybe $800-900 install in lexus dealer. Also if you have 30k and drive it hard its around 30k when cutchs are getting close to replacment . Thats what ive seen and done on cars many is250 6speed love it

3. ALOT (smoother, quieter, easier, but most importantly FUNNER)(if thats a word)

The lexus dealer quoted me 600 for install of quick shifter alone...so I installed it myself. It was a biatch to install...my forearms were all scratched up from the tight squeeze.

don't worry, 30k applies only to those that can't drive a manual properly

Yeah my friend's clutches are '92 del sol @ 250k on stock clutch, '95 accord @ 175k before he replaced it, '01 corolla @ 130k on stock clutch, 02 a4 @ 130k on stock clutch. I spoke with Magnussen's Lexus a few weeks after I bought my car, that I should be looking at changing the clutch soon; stock clutch lasts about 50k on the 2IS (my car was 49k when I bought it). I asked my friends, and they said the dealer was smoking something...if the clutch lasts less than 100k, there's something wrong with your driving.
Is there anyone who had to change their clutch out because it was slipping? or did everyone just change it out just to put a different clutch in?
