Easy to convert turbo trans to cable push clutch?

Post by 94.GT.Wagon »

Possibly found a 92 turbo trans for my 94 non-turbo Legacy. Is it possible and more importantly is it easy to switch to a cable push clutch? Thanks!

I have done it. I drilled a hole for the pivot ball. it took a lot of measuring and patience. Its really not worth it. if you really really really want a push type clutch on a turbo(pull type) tranny. There are some companies that sell kits to do so. But they are all for double and triple disc clutch setups.
Its just not really worth it

Thanks for the info guys. Sounds like I'll keep looking for a better trans option.

Or you could convert your throwout system to hydraulic, which has also benn done. But again, a lot of work.

Yeah, not really worth it to me. Plus, dude wants more $ for the trans than what I'm trying to pay for one.

its an easy swap. get your self a set of turbo pedal assembly complete with the clutch master cylinder and line.



your not talkin about changing the tranny are you from pull to push are you? that requires changing the bell housing. that would be a waste of time.
