Question Referring to oem chassis holes
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2018 11:27 pm
Referring to oem chassis holes. More specifically, the pre-drilled holes for the clutch master cylinder in first gen legacy wagons.
I've noticed that the holes that were present in my 95 Impreza wagon to mount the clutch master cylinder, are non-existent in both my (91 Legacy wagon L manual) and my (93 Legacy wagon L Auto). In my 91 I recently did a swap that entailed a hydraulic clutch conversion. This confused me because my Impreza in which i did a similar conversion already had the holes present. where as in my 91 I had to do some drilling of my own. I used a petal box from a GD chassis Forester that also needed retrofitting.
My question is why the holes for the clutch master are not in my wagons? I know that turbo manual legacy's had hydraulic clutches, but i also know that they never made a first gen turbo legacy wagon that was in fact manual is this the reason for the lack of hole? maybe we will never know why. But it would be nice to know which cars are easily converted and which are not.
IE do all sedans have the holes? Do only SS's have the holes? is it a base model thing?
The other question is when I go to manual swap this 93 legacy what petal box should I use in order to allow for a better fit? I know that a GC petal box isnt the same maybe that would be more ideal? does a manual turbo legacy petal box bolt in? is it the same as something else?
So far I know this
91 Subaru Legacy wagon Man L is cable clutch and requires drilling for Hydro conversion
93 Subaru Legacy wagon Auto L requires drilling for hydro clutch conversion
