5speed ???
FINALly put a 5 speed in my car but now Idk if it drives right? I have a 99 impreza trans with matchig diff 3.90 and not sure how hard 1st and 2nd pull? ANYone know? Seems sluggish to me but could be just the gearing or the trans is bad? Drives fine other then that

Re: 5speed ???
As in the other thread, it's probably clutch related. I'm guessing it's a cable clutch, right? How far in do you have to push the clutch pedal for the clutch to disengage? It could be adjusted to where even when the clutch pedal is all the way up, it's still not letting it grab all the way. It could also be that the clutch is slipping, ie too weak of a clutch/pressureplate for the SVX's power, or worn down too much.
But yea, my 6-speed is a 3.9 ratio too and it pulls like crazy in 1st and 2nd. It has a hydraulic clutch pedal and a stage 2 STi clutch/pressure plate though. What are the 1st and 2nd gear ratios for your trans?

Re: 5speed ???
3.545, 2.111, 1.448, 1.088, 0.780, 3.416 1.000 final is 3.90
i put a new clutch, pressure plate, and throughout bearing it in but doesnt seem to pull right. it is a cable set up....any ideas to try? it drives fine but when i step on it, it doesnt pull. i didint turn the flywheel...is that a probable cause?...not sure what the flywheel is from cause i bought the car with supposed 92legacy turbo trans and diff but i changed it to the 99 impreza. perhaps the flywheel is still from the svx and auto trans and i need one from the impreza and manual trans?
