I've got an EJ25 with an cable clutch impreza tranny... looking at getting a WRX fly and clutch... will it work? I've been told in the past there was either a TO bearing issue or that the hydro pushed and the cable pulled or something like that.....Thoughts?

Actually it is the opposite, the hydraulic clutch pulls the TO bearing back, the cable system pushes it forward. Therefore a WRX clutch setup will not work in a cable type tranny. You can switch out the cable for a hydraulic clutch system though, pretty much a bolt up replacement, you will have to swap trannies also.

Just to clarify what Dr. RX mentioned. There are two different type of clutch setups, pull and push. There are two different type of actuation systems, cable & hydraulic. All cable systems use a push style clutch, however not all hydraulic systems use a pull style clutch.

 

So as Dr. RX mentioned, if you want to use a WRX clutch & flywheel, you would need to swap the transmission as well as the pedal assembly.
