Legacy Turbo Clutch into an 1.8l Impreza Tranny?

Post by Impregacy »

So the impreza has a ej22t, but when i did the swap i kept the 1.8L impreza transmission, flywheel, pressure plate, and disc. I'm thinking the best thing to do would be to swtich to a Legacy Turbo clutch. Does anybody know if a turbo disc would fit the 1.8 flywheel? I know they are both pull type clutches so the swap is safe in tht regard, i just don't know how all those diameter match up.

thanks

You can't use a turbo clutch, because it's a pull-style setup. You can only use push-style clutch setups.

With that being said. If you look for an upgraded clutch for a 2.5 RS, that should work. You may need to also get a 2.5 RS flywheel, as its surface area may be slightly larger then the 1.8.

you're saying that a legacy turbo clutch is a pull style clutch and a 1993 impreza 1.8 AWD transmission cannot use a pull style clutch? i thought push style refered to the hydro clutched WRX, for example. I was under the distinct impression that this my old 93 subaru still has the pull style set up. That means there is a cable that pulls on a lever to actuate the clutch right? That's exactly what my car has.

Incorrect.

The "pull style" refers to the method with which the throwout bearing releases the pressure from the clutch disc, which with Turbo Subarus is by pulling...

The naturally aspirated Subarus use the more conventional "push type" method, where the throwout bearing pushes into the pressure plate and releases pressure that way.

All pull style are Hydraulic btw
