So I just bought an Outback Sport with a 2.2, and the cable clutch linkage sucks donkey. Unfortunately, since I'm runnig the car in SCCA F Street Prepared class for autocross next year, I need to find another 1993-2001 non-2.5 liter Impreza with a hydraulic cluthc so I can switch.

So- does anybody have, or know for sure of the existence of, a 1.8 or 2.2 liter Impreza with a hydraulic clutch stock? What year/engine combination?

 

What sucks about it? I have driven both and cant tell which is which if both are adjusted right.

 

I've gotten more used to it, but I can feel the cable grinding/sliding in the sleeve, and it drives me nuts. It feels like the whole thing is falling apart every time I push the clutch.

 

Also, only the 2.5RS and GD Imprezas came with hydraulic clutch actuators. All the 2.2 and 1.8s were cable.

 

Well get some graphite lube. Its just a like dry. It most likely hasnt been used that much before you got it.
