Default Pull or Push Type Clutch?

Does a UK MY99 have a pull-type or normal push-type clutch?
I have seen a spec for a 2002 STI which had a pull-type.
Also seen both types of clutches advertised for MY99!
I guess they are not interchangeable as the linkages must differ.

Anyone help?

Thanks Fiestaboy.

So will a 2002 STi clutch fit a UK MY00? Seen some in the US which look good value.

All standard subarus a pull type clutches. Some aftermarket are push type, and you must ensure you have the convertor with the kit.

You may have to use the 2002 starter also, as the diameter of the clutch for the sti is larger than a MY00 uk car, so the my00 starter may not fit properly.

AFAIK, it is bigger than the standard MY99/00 one.

I don't know the implications of fitting it to your year car, as I've never done it

BTW - If you are running a standard(ish) car, then a Borg&Beck clutch will suffice - You can get one from most local motor factor's for around £125

Thanks.
I have a few mods, exhaust & turbo, looking at up to 300bhp/300 lbft and clutch is currently struggling. Think I may need a mild upgrade.
