ATF
16.ATF
A: INSPECTION
CAUTION:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature.
Pay attention to the fluid temperature when
checking ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor.
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1),
set the select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF
level with the engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper and lower level.
NOTE:
When the transmission is hot, the level should be
above the center of upper and lower marks, and
when it is cold, the level should be found below the
center of these two marks.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per and lower marks, add the recommended ATF
until the ATF level is found above the center be-
tween upper and lower marks.
CAUTION:
Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
Remember that the addition of ATF to the up-
per limit mark when the transmission is cold
will result in overfilling of ATF, causing a trans-
mission failure.
6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature
to 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F) by running the vehicle
or by idling the engine again.7) Check the ATF for leaks.
Check for leaks in the transmission. If there are
leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil
seals, plugs or other parts.
B: REPLACEMENT
1. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
1) Drain the ATF by removing drain plug.
NOTE:
Before starting work, cool off ATF well.
2) Replace the gasket with a new one, and then

(2) Engine coolant leaks at/around hoses or
connections.
CAUTION:
Inspection must be carried out at the side of
coolant filler tank, not at the side of radiator.
Engine should be off.
Wipe engine coolant from check points in ad-
vance.
Be careful to prevent engine coolant from
spurting out when removing the tester.
Be careful also not to deform the filler neck of

A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature. Pay
attention to the ATF temperature when checking
ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor.

2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1),
set the select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF
level with engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper level and lower level at HOT side.
If the ATF level is below the lower level, check for
leaks in the transmission. If there are leaks, it is
necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil seals,
plugs or other parts.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per level and lower level, add the recommended
ATF until the fluid level is found above the center
between upper level and lower level marks.
CAUTION:
Use care not to exceed the upper level.
Remember that the addition of ATF to the up-
per limit mark when the transmission is cold
will overfilling of ATF, causing a transmission
failure.
6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature
to 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F) by running the vehicle
or by idling the engine again.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Lift-up the vehicle.2) Drain the ATF completely.
CAUTION:
Directly after the engine has been running, the
ATF is hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
3) Replace the gasket with new one, and then tight-
en the drain plug (ATF).
Tightening torque:

Time Lag Test
6. Time Lag Test
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
If the select lever is shifted while the engine is
idling, there will be a certain time elapse or lag be-
fore the shock can be felt. This is used for checking
the condition of the low clutch, reverse clutch, low &
reverse brake and one-way clutch.
Perform the test at normal operation fluid tem-
perature 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F).
Be sure to allow a one minute interval between
tests.
Perform measurement for three times and take
the average value.
1) Fully apply the parking brake.
2) Start the engine.
Check the idling speed (A/C OFF).
3) Shift the select lever from “N” to “D” range.
Using a stop watch, measure the time it takes from
shifting the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
If “N” → “D” time lag is longer than specified:
Line pressure too low
Low clutch worn
One-way clutch not operating properly
D-ring worn
4) In the same manner, measure the time lag for
“N” → “R”.
Time lag: Less than 1.5 seconds
If “N” → “R” time lag is longer than specified:
Line pressure too low
Reverse clutch worn
Low & reverse brake worn
D-ring worn
