i am getting a '90 legacy LS wagon, awd and it needs a clutch, and wanna know if this clutch kit will work or not please? thansk in advance

"New EJ20G clutch kit, manufactured by Unipart for the UK-spec Legacy Turbo. Includes clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and clutch installation tool"

if not, then i would like to know the cheapest place to get a clutch kit... also are there any tricks to replacing the clutch in these cars?? im new to subarus.... tia

I emailed you this too, but...

I'm afraid the clutch kit won't fit right into your non-turbo car. Subaru uses pull-type clutches with turbo transmissions and push-type clutches on non-turbos. So unless you plan to swap to a turbo tranny, I don't think you can make use of this clutch.

You may be able to get a lightly used clutch from a non-turbo Impreza owner on NASIOC (www.nasioc.com) pretty cheaply.

so the imprez l and the legacy both use the same ej22 motor?im just sstarting out in all the subaru stuff, im a honda guy, but im falling for awd...

I think the impreza's only have ej18 and ej25 engines, but I'm not 100% on that but most if not all products for an ej motor or tranny will fit on one another. Same goes with bc/bf and gc/gf chassis as far as supension goes.

EJ22s in Imprezas made their debut as standard on the OBS. Later expanded as an optional engine to the rest of the range. Brighton kept the EJ18, but I think that was discontinued before the end of that bodystyle's run.

Imprezas had EJ22s too... My old 97 Impreza L had one.

But, yeah, all Subarus are pretty much the same. :) I believe the phrase that's currently in fashion is "like Legos."

I'm not 100% certain, but I'm about 90% certain that a clutch for any non-turbo Impreza, Legacy, Outback, Baja, or Forester will fit your car, ub_imprezzed.

the ej22's have been in the impreza since the early years.....an old gf in college had one in her L.

cool, thanks , so anyone know of anybody selling a clutch for one??? haha

EJ22 wasnt available until 1995. Even then many cars still had ej18 until 1998 when the 2.5 was introduced to the line.
