Hi I bought the 20 L bucket Used approx a six speed worth. and have 4L set aside for someone already, that leaves at least 11L left over. 12 dollars per L (i gain ~1.75 for my hard work of ordering it) i think its a fair price seeing you cant buy it anywhere local or at TIC for 20 bucks per... you need to either bring your subaru and change it in my garage ( i could even help pour it out of the giant can) or bring your own containers for transport. or maybe convince me to bring it to firestone or the calhoun meet. thanks for looking -dan
http://www.mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31215 you can buy it from the dealer in minnetonka for 8.07/ qt
damn, lack of access for me. I tried to buy it from them but they quoted me for the huge bucket and said no other size was available If no one else in minnesota wants it i could do that, how often do rally cars get trans fluid changes?
depends on how poorly the driver shifts I have some of my bucket left over - maybe we could just pull out enough so we have a full change ready
Yea thats the only size in comes in FROM Subaru. Due to high demands for the stuff. We bought a few tubs and bottle for resale over the counter and for service.
hmmm, i'm at 60k, i think it needs to be done, 3.8 L is what i'd need right? also is this some good juice for my 2.5rs?
it needs to be done at 60k right? i know it cant hurt but i'm in doing it preemtivly, also i'd do the diffs as well. its not that hard right?
it's easy to do. there's also a DIY guide on scoobymods. It doesn't hurt to do it Just make sure you have a 21mm socket or a torx, depending on your car.
So, since I cannot see the link previously posted, how do I go about getting this by the bottle? I need to do a change this spring (not interested in doing it in dmoo's garage). Thanks!
mnsoc card FTW!...... now just cuz its what i do, i'll fallow that up with a noob question, i found a DIY for changing the rear diff fluid here http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/changing_rear_differential_fluid-t3.html?t=3&highlight=change+diff and am wondering about the front diff, is part of the trany lube? or what do i do for that? i'm assuming i'll just get under there and look for what seems to be the front diff and do the same for what has been done to the back.
http://mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18486 You may or may not have the torks bolt depending on what year
great, makes it easy then. thanks for the help. its an '05 2.5RS with the 5 speed judging by the how to change trany fluid thread done on a wrx i'm betting mine will have the torx nut, i think i have those.
n00b questions: what is this magic elixer? What are the benefits? Is it only for manuals or does it work for the 4EAT too?
fallow up noob question,:biggrin: can i ask why? i would think (with almost no car knowledge) that theres enough similarity between the manual and auto trany's that you could, i'm sure its more complicated then this but isnt it more or less you moving the gears around vs it doing it when the torque vs power needed is at a certain level dictated by the throttle? i'm just guessing in the dark.... :hsugh:
Auto allows power transfer thru plates rubbing against each other. Manual has gears meshing and synchros rubbing. Big difference internally. :biggrin:
Automatic tranny fluid is more like hydraulic fluid. Thinner, with significantly more detergents. Most automatics use hydraulic pressure to control where the power is going and when.
Woah, off topic, sweet. bump, chug 2, 2L of pop and bring the empties (rinsed and dried of course) down to Firestone tomorrow and i will bring the fluid Carl: any idea how much you would need about to have a full fill ready? Rusty: this is a good project to do which you should under take with Extra S fluid...
it was a great project, thanks for the help! i posted more here http://www.mnsubaru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31215&page=2 does the overfilling matter?
