Parts for your 2008 Toyota Blade-Clutch kit

2008 Toyota Blade and clutch kits — what’s actually fitted

After checking technical references — Toyota’s launch and brochure material for the Blade, Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) and TIS service manuals, plus model summaries commonly cited in the Toyota Blade knowledge base — the 2008 Blade was built with either a Super CVT‑i transmission behind the 2AZ‑FE 2.4‑litre engine or a 6‑speed electronically controlled automatic (U660E) behind the 2GR‑FE 3.5‑litre V6. No factory manual gearbox was offered, so a conventional clutch kit (friction disc, pressure plate and release bearing) isn’t used on this vehicle.

That’s why a “clutch‑kit” listing for a 2008 Toyota Blade is not relevant. The CVT variant uses a torque converter and steel push‑belt system, while the V6 automatic uses internal clutch packs bathed in transmission fluid — neither setup has the serviceable, pedal‑operated clutch found in a manual car.
