Well I'm in the middle of an 96 ej22 transplant into a 98 outback. Just pulled the ej25 engine on the 98 and the flywheel is toast (many hairline radial heat cracks). The ej22 was an automatic so I don't have it's flywheel

While trying to save money I found a used ej22 flywheel on ebay. I already purchased the clutch for the ej25 flywheel that I planned to use on the ej22 transplant. Can I use a flywheel from an ej22 with the ej25 clutch? There are conflicting posts in the forum on this subject.

Anyone have the definitive word?

It's what I have in my EZ30 XT... EJ22 flywheel and 2.5 clutch. Works with no issues. The only real difference in the Subaru world is the turbo stuff. It's all pull vs push, turbo being the former, N/A the later. You cannot swap N/A to turbo or vice versa, other wise you're fine.
