Confusion

Post by THAWA »

As some of ya know I'm doing a 5mt swap. It's being frankenstiened together. I've got a tranny from a 90 legacy with appropriate driveshaft. I've also got pedals from a 93 impreza, which I'm assuming use a clutch cable. I'm having a wrx shift linkage, flywheel, and transmission crossmember sent right now. I was planing on just getting an oem clutch kit off ebay or something. Now I am questioning what all will fit. When I took the pedals from the impreza I glanced at the crossmember and it was setup differently than the wrx one or others I have seen. It had the tranny mount in the front piece, the center and rear pieces were gone so I dunno how they were. Are the legacy crossmembers setup like that? Or will the wrx crossmember work for the legacy tranny on my car? Also I'm wondering if the flywheel will work with the NA style transmission and clutch. Whenever I see someone post a flywheel for sale they say wrx and legacy trubo, so that makes me wonder if they too are only for their respective trannys. I think someone said they're all interchangeable, but I'm not sure I read it correctly. can anyone calm my worries?

EDIT: I was also under the impression that the rs used an na tranny and clutch system, but I've seen sale ads for rs master and slave cyl's. Are those trannys the turbo type aswell?

95 and later 5-speeds use hydraulic clutches. It's still push-type though.

I believe the clutch master cylinder on my car was actually specified for a 96 Outback.

I always forget which type na tranny's are. Is it push or pull?

Most standard transmissions in the world, including those on NA Subarus, are push-type. Subaru turbos are pull-type.
