Do I need this stuff??? I did search around but geese what does this awful thing do, really? I can see the need for a water trap but this sucker has 3 canceris blobs on it. There are no sensors on the pipe. Was thinking about keeping the stock air filter box, toss filter. And get a uni cold air kit.

What about the ATF stuff?? Cause the stuff in it is clear, clear, clear, almost looks brand new its so clean. I don't wanna dump red dex 3 ATF in there without knowing for sure its gonna be ok with the dex 2. renote, dip stick says use Dex II on it.

Also any tips on the price this stuff will cost? AZ website doesn't list anything.

Maybe I am saying it wrong but its the boot near the engine, not the tire. So CV should be fine right? Isn't there two? inner n outer, don't know subaru much. N what ever is in the trans, its clear. I know red ATF n this ain't it. Worked in a TQ shop and have bathed in it.[ran the lathe cutting them open for rebuild.]

I need some quick help if I can change my own axel boot? I am the repairman for my Moms 01 Subaru Forest, last of the tall models. N E ways her right axel boot is split wide open and tossing trans fluid all over the cat and stinkin bad. Should I got buy a $30 repair book and change it myself or is this beyond normal garage tools. I know I could do it but being such a nice car I don't just wanna ripe into stuff. I am capable and if it was mine I would just do it but......... There is a learning curve the first time ya do anything. Never work on a Subaru before. Also dip stick days dextron II ATF, and its clear. Most bottles at the store say dextron II/III and is red. Does the clear and red mix? Funny this happens now. I have been gathering up parts to do a full service on the drive train n tune up. Not excited about changing them plugs for the first time.
