Thread: Clutch question: Rb20/25 vs RB26

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by Count Zero
Ok, question for those who might know: I need to replace the clutch in my R32. Looking up clutches, the ones for the RB26 are all twice as expensive as the ones for the 20/25. But I know for a fact that people can take a 26 and put the 20/25 transmission on it without changing the clutch... So what the hell is different? Why won't a 20/25 clutch fit onto the 26? If the transmissions are ...

The difference between the 26 ( in most cases ) and the rest is the 26 is a pull style clutch and the earlier 20/25 and push style clutches. A 25 flywheel will bolt right on a 26 and you can use the 25 clutch. Then if using a 25 transmission you are then converted to a push style clutch. Hope this helps.. If not feel free to contact me anytime..

I just may hit you up on that offer...I emailed SPEC via the website, but not gotten response yet. But I'm still confused. I thought the push/pull was just on how the slave cylander either pushed or pulled the lever to press the throwout bearing against the pressure plate. If it's different all the way to the clutch and flywheel, how can you take an RB26 motor and mount a RB25 trans up to it ...

Sorry you never received a response. sometimes the generic mail box gets overlooked i guess. Just give me a call and we can hash it all out no problem. If you call in and use my extension number and i don't answer just leave me a message. I'll get right back to you.

Spiff. And I got paid more this month than I was expecting, so actually have the money for it now. (I hate end of year...I'm always broke from about mid october to mid jan)

Late model R32 rb26 has pull clutch. most 93-94 r32, r33 and r34, these are NOT compatible with Rb20 and 25 clutches. If your r32 is a push type clutch your golden for an Rb20 and Rb25 clutch, as they are the same. I'm using an OS giken twin push made for rb20/25/26 on my 25. You'll notice they list on their site the part #'s change on late model R32's and for r33/34's for the reason I stated ...

It's a 1990. And it's definitely a push-type. I know that much. Hrm. So I might be able to save some money? I like the sound of this. Wait, does this mean that a VG30DETT clutch would work as well? Or are they different flywheels? Modified by Count Zero at 10:53 PM 11/29/2009

You're in luck then. Feel free to use an N/A Z32 clutch as well if you are PUSH. ACT offers a whack of N/A Z32 clutches that will work great.

This makes me happy.....though I'm tempted to pull the trans off before buying anything, just to make sure.
