Re: some trans questions

Take a look at your trans. If the slave cylinder is in front of the clutch fork and pushes the top of the clutch fork forward, then it's a pull-type clutch. If the opposite, then you have a push-type. Here is some more info: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/drivetra...push-type.html

Google should yield quite a bit of info on the differences.

Pull- and push-type clutches are NOT interchangeable. It seems like the turbo Subies are usually pull-type, and non-turbos are push type. However (double check this) I think the 08+ STis have push-type now. Not sure about the WRXes.

Also the STi and WRX clutches are not quite interchangeable, the throw-out bearings and the part of the pressure plate that the TOB interfaces with have different diameters. With some other parts, an STi one can be made to work in a WRX trans though.

Short answer: you've probably got a push-type and you should just get a higher-rated clutch/pp.

Also, lets see some pics of the Baja.
