Hi I have a lexus is200 

The clutch is sitting high but now and again in high gears Im losing power takes awhile to pick up again. Just seeing if any1 has this issue as well. 

I was thinking its was a clutch issue and need of a new one.

Thanks

The symptoms are typical of a slipping clutch, especially if you are demanding lots of power from low rpm.

It's a common issue on Civic 2.2 derv's but the clutch has a self adjuster that prevents slip for a while.  Does the IS have also have a self adjusting clutch?

How many miles has the clutch/car covered?

Brought the car last year in January so not sure when the clutch had been done. So guessing it needs doing sitting right at the top.

I'm not sure bout the self adjuster on these is200. Will have to take a look 

Cars covered 149000 miles

If all those miles have been covered on the original clutch then understandable that it's starting to complain.

Good luck getting it sorted.
