Parts for your 2008 Toyota Blade-Cluth slave cylinder

2008 Toyota Blade cluth-slave-cylinder — is it even a thing?

Short answer: a cluth-slave-cylinder (clutch slave cylinder) isn’t fitted to the 2008 Toyota Blade. Every 2008 Blade variant was built without a manual clutch system, so there’s no slave cylinder to service or replace.

Here’s the technical why. The 2008 Toyota Blade came in two driveline flavours:

• AZE154H (2AZ‑FE 2.4L) with Super CVT‑i (K112 family)
• GRE156H (2GR‑FE 3.5L “Master”) with 6‑speed automatic (Aisin U660E)

Both of those transmissions use a torque converter and internal clutch packs, not a driver‑operated manual clutch. As a result, there’s no clutch pedal, no clutch master cylinder and no external or concentric clutch slave cylinder on a 2008 Blade.

Technical sources that back this up:

• Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for model codes AZE154H and GRE156H shows no listing for a clutch release/slave cylinder in the clutch group for these frames.
• Toyota Repair Manual for E150‑series Blade/Auris covers Super CVT‑i K112 and Aisin U660E automatic servicing, there’s no manual transmission clutch hydraulic section for these Blade models.
• 2007–2009 Toyota Blade (Japan) sales and spec literature lists “Super CVT‑i (7‑speed sport mode)” for 2.4L and “6 Super ECT” for the 3.5L Master—again, no manual option.

Why you might be seeing “2008‑toyota‑blade cluth‑slave‑cylinder” online: the Blade is closely related to the E150 Auris/Corolla platform, and those cars did have manual versions (C50/C56/C60 gearboxes) that use a hydraulic slave or concentric release cylinder. But the Blade itself—particularly the JDM imports common in NZ and Australia—was CVT or conventional auto only in 2008.

If someone’s chasing a “cluth‑slave‑cylinder” for a Blade because of shift issues, they’re likely after different maintenance. Useful service items for these cars include:

• CVT: fluid service with the specified Toyota CVT fluid (often TC for K112, some labels specify FE—always follow the bonnet label or manual), correct fill and temperature procedure.
• U660E auto: Toyota WS ATF, level set at the specified fluid temperature via the overflow plug method.
• Shifter cable inspection/adjustment and engine/gearbox mount checks if you’re noticing harsh engagement or vibration.

Quick self‑check: if it’s got P‑R‑N‑D on the shifter and no clutch pedal, there’s no cluth‑slave‑cylinder to replace.

Popular questions about the 2008‑toyota‑blade cluth‑slave‑cylinder

Does a 2008 Toyota Blade have a cluth‑slave‑cylinder?
No. The 2008 Blade runs a CVT (2.4L) or a 6‑speed automatic (3.5L), so there’s no manual clutch hydraulics. That means no clutch master cylinder and no clutch slave cylinder fitted from factory.

How can I confirm which transmission my 2008 Blade has?
Check the build plate or your rego/auction sheet for the model code. AZE154H is the 2.4L with Super CVT‑i, GRE156H is the 3.5L with a U660E 6‑speed auto. You can also look at the shifter (PRND) and the absence of a clutch pedal—both indicate there’s no cluth‑slave‑cylinder onboard.

What should I service instead of a cluth‑slave‑cylinder on a Blade?
For the CVT, use the correct Toyota CVT fluid and the specified fill/temperature procedure. For the U660E, use Toyota WS ATF and set the level at temperature. Keeping mounts, shifter cables and software updates in check also helps drivability and longevity.
