SurlyOldManMN Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Not sure how the fluid change works on the 5EAT. There might be some pressurized hijinks that ups the labor cost. In the MT it's like changing engine oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN3.6R Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 10 Quarts of fluid will work for the 5EAT, Drop the plug, it will drain about 5 quarts, Drive for a week, drop plug, drain 5 quarts and be done. I have no idea where the filter is on these yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehRicer Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Take out OEM battery. Stick a flashlight down there. You'll see it. ^That's where it's at on my 05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehRicer Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Did you end up doing it yourself or hitting up MNS? Never changed it. I have a valve gasket leak, so I'll prlly just have it changed when it goes in the shop. I found a person in Kato that owns a garage. I believe it's John @ #1 Auto. Supposedly he does great work. Took me 8 months to find it though, lmfao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure my trans is going to need a rebuild:redface: Well ill do what I can to hurry it up but he has never done a 5eat before, so he would like to do mine first.

I'll be pushing to get mine in soon, so keep it easy on your car! Keep me updated. I'm waiting, literally. Are you doing a full trans rebuild? I'm not even sure how one would go about rebuilding a trans. I assume clutch packs, but I'm sure there's more to it. Let me know though. As long as the trans is dropped, I need to replace a few other parts. Pretty sure both my oil separator plate & my power steering assembly needs replacing. Maybe I could throw in injectors & a fuel pump, & toss it on the dyno before I head home. I'd really like to do it all at once, but it's extraordinary difficult to find someone local to work on a Subaru ...looking to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurlyOldManMN Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thursday only? That's the only night of the week there isn't something going on. I'm not sure what my evenings look like next week as I'm ramping up with a new project. I'm interested in getting in to some trouble if I'm not on a short leash all week. Post up on MNSubaru as a mini-meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurlyOldManMN Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Wednesday night MN Garage Geeks meets at Sonic in Bloomington. There is also a "Midwest Modified" meet at King of Diamonds strip club. I haven't been to the latter. The former is usually fairly relaxed. Naturally Tuesday night is the MNSubaru meet.
