Flywheel Problem. Please HELP

Recommended Posts

So what I have is 2006 N/A Legacy

Engine EJ204, 5 speed manual

Throw out bearing gave up. As I know that DMF is prone to die too I decided to convert.

Here come the problem:

Flywheel I have is AY-Flex 12342AA050

apparently comes from 1999-2003 Legacy and also Bugeye Impreza.

Issue I have is mounting points on flywheel- they are 254mm of pcd.

I cannot return it now:mad: and have been told its for pull clutches only.

Of course mine is push clutch :icon_cry:

Is there any models that had clutch that fits to this flywheel.

I simply won't believe there is none.

Thanks guys!

Your transmission won't be compatible either.

You disengage a push-type clutch by pushing the throwout bearing towards the flywheel. In a pull-type clutch, you disengage it by pulling the throwout bearing away from the flywheel. So if your transmission is set up for a push-type clutch, when you press in the clutch pedal, the clutch fork will move towards the flywheel, and if you put on a pull clutch, it would need to move away from the flywheel.

 

Just sell the flywheel.

Easier said than done. I know there are 3 major types of flywheels.

N/a ones, Turbo ones and Sti ones where first 2 are nearly same to fit

225, 228 and 230 mm clutch both pull and push, last one is for 240mm

pull, but have seen push conversion in hawkeye as tranny allows this.

It's just that particular case where Id like to give it a go. Selling is last resort at the mo.

Even thought I could lighten it and get holes and threading done, if I swap

for Gt tranny some time I will just swap tranny.

If that makes sense.

I mean. I do not know so I ask.

Hey.

I forgot about this thread:(

 

So at the end it looks like that:

06 WRX fly is dished and expensive.

So I went for ~99-00 Impreza 2.0 fly

and ~98 Legacy 2.5 clutch.

Fly is Subaru OEM 10kg

Clutch is Exedy Organic 225mm

2000 miles done- works like a charm.

 

What has gone wrong.

DMF started to give up. Had about over an inch of play.

I believe that to be a reason for clutch pad to

"unstick" from clutch disc ( hence nasty noise when pulling

away) and that fault to ruin thrust bearing.

 

Word of advice.

In gen 4 Legacy DMF is held by TORX PLUS T50 (not torx)

Get that tool before You start DIY.

I didn't and it costed me a lot of pain, tears and stress.
