Jim99 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi All, I recently purchased a clutch kit off of e-bay for my 2006 Baja Turbo. The pressure plate was a design I had never seen before, but then I had never seen a Subaru pressure plate either. I disassembled my Baja and removed the clutch components, which looked like every automotive clutch (Detroit Big Three) I had ever seen. Consulting with the e-bay seller, he informed me that the clutch pressure plate he sold me was a "Pull Type" and that is what my Baja required. Going with his logic, the clutch pressure plate I removed was a "Push Type" (??????? I'm confused). . Went to local dealership and they had OEM parts is stock. Parts were identical to the parts I had removed (Push Type). Installed dealer parts and Baja runs fine. Has anyone had experience with a "Pull Type" clutch pressure plate in a Subaru? Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I thought all the turbos used a pull type pressure plate. Not really sure why your Baja doesn't. Subaru has used pull plates since at least the early 90s on the turbo models. The pull type offers a higher and more consistent clamp load on the disc. They also seem to be less prone to the Subaru clutch shudder. Edited September 6, 2015 by Fairtax4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
