The pan does have a drain plug. Is just that the filter on the side of the tranny, somebody says (a tech guy) that it does not need to be changed unless the tranny is worked on. The same person says that there is a metal screen inside the pan that needs to be cleaned/changed when servicing the tranny. Anyone with facts about this? Thanks, Dan

Hi all; I need a 101 course in AT for my '99 Outback. 1. Where is the transmission oil filter located? Inside the pan? How difficult is to change it. 2. Right by the tranny there is a filter similar with the regular engine oil filter, what is this? And what part? 3. What AT fluid should I use? Where I can get it from? How about fluids for fron/read differentials. 4. How can I changed the front differential fluid? I could not located the draining plug. Thanks a lot. Dan PS: I tried to ask these questions to the local subaru dealer. Needless to say that I got no answers. I guess I can't totally blame those guys, they need to make a living.
