Default Lexus is250 problems

Hi all,

I have a manual transmission vehicle and am stuck for ideas on a couple of issues

I recently had the stock clutch, flywheel replaced as the car had a judder when setting off and a very high clutch engagement point

So i replaced these with the spec and fidanza setup

I have done 300 miles on the new setup and i still have these problems judder and high clutch engagement

The garage have tried bleeding the system and this hasnt improved things

I am having the engine mounts and clutch pedal checked tomoro

Does anyone else have any input on what might be causing these issues any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Did you replace the pressure plate as well?

You can also adjust the pedal engagement point. I remember there was a huge debate on here before some said it was not possible and others said it was. After all was set and done it was found that you could adjust it.

try that first and see if it solves your issue. I'm going to do this same setup on my car I currently already have the flywheel I only need to buy the clutch kit but I probably wont do it until I feel my OEM clutch start to slip.
