Subject:changing auto trans fluid - amsoil?
From:Mike Meuser
Date:Thu, 13 Jul 2006 15:59:29 -0700

HI - Given the extra power of the Subie I thought it best to change
the filter, seals and transmission fluid.  I want to change it all so
I need a way of emptying the entire system including the torque
convertor so....

* how best to get all of the fluid out?

* Amsoil has two Dexron II compatible synthetics -- universal
synthetic and torque drive synthetic.  Anyone have
experience/suggestions here?

* Anything else I can do to help the tranny while I've got the pan
off?  I do see that the governor cap is seeping a bit so I plan on
replacing that seal.  Any adjustments, cleaning, that can be done
with pan off but tranny still in van?

thnx
