Looks like they guy that owned this car before us topped off both the tranny fluid and the engine oil. :-\

What happens when it's overfilled? It currently is... Perhaps this is the cause of the tranny slipping?

Hey thanks for all the replies, links, and detailed descriptions. You guys rock! I guess the consensus is that replacing the transmission filter is a waste of time and money... I'm going to drain 3X as suggested, add some Lucas, check levels and see how it goes. Is a tranny swap difficult on these cars? I have a Haynes on the way...

Hi all. I'm new to the forum here as my wife just picked up a 1993 Subaru Impreza SL wagon. The car has 93k on it and is very clean. Only, I have a couple of questions: 1 - Is there a tranny filter on this car? It's an automatic... I haven't gotten underneath to try and find an external filter yet... The tranny is slipping a bit and I want to try all I can to cure it before I bring it to a transmission shop. 2 - Also, is there a website I can go to in order to view parts and illustrations for any Subaru? 3 - Lastly, where is the cheapest place to buy parts? Thanks! and looking forward to the forum! Dave
