im curious as to if there is a place notched for the clutch pedal already?

is there already a hole for the clutch pedal in the autos? idk i have never driven an auto subaru. never saw the point lol. i cant believe this thread is still alive

right, just like i said. pain in the ass. when is it not a pain in the ass too do a tranny swap in general if you dont have a professional lift, let alone the extra details of drilling and installing a clutch pedal? and for a car that will cost as much to get a tranny as it is to buy a shell that is stick already? it might be ENJOYABLE to the true enthusiast and YOU may know what your doing, but its pretty obvious if this guy doesnt even know where to look for an engine its safe to say he has no clue. dont do it man, save yourself the trouble.

the tranny swap is going to be a serious pita and is why most ppl dont swap them. it can be done, but your better off getting a manual car. it will be cheaper, easier, and just all around a better idea, since you would have to pretty much switch everything anyway. unless you already know what your doing, i would either be happy with my automatic or by a manual shell.

let me ask you your opinion on flywheel and crank for this build.... should i drop a cpl pounds in this area to assist in midrange response? see im a little confused about that. i had a 13 pound flywheel and i had an issue or two, one being i think that it consumed all of the organic padding on the clutch disc and the disc also showed signs of heat wear in the springs,and two im a little on the fence on deciding if i truly liked the response due to me wondering if all the fast revving transferred to the wheels and didnt just 'make noise' while spooling up rpms quickly. so yeah what do you think? i have the opportunity to pick what i want to do and could use some good opinions in this matter. i jave the 1995 ej22 heads with d.p.e., now im just trying to piece together the build as i await warm weather to execute

so ive been snooping around getting info about building the ej25d short with 22 sohc heads... im gonna need to switch the y pipe huh? and what is your recommendation on the headgaskets?

also i have a PnP kit from eastwood, so essentialy i am just smoothing the surfaces of the heads, nothing insane

so going back to what we were talking about with my buiold im working on planning, i like the idea of the 25d block with the 22 sohc heads. what do you think of me sending the cams for stag1 grind, and doing a stage 1 PnP on the heads? that should balance the cr just a little and the cams will beef up the response even more right? im just throwin ideas out there.

nice thread ej22e
