I honestly just bought 80w90 GL5 at walmart and it fixed the problem, also, the trans is silent now. Thank you everyone for your support. Subies are the best

okay, have I damaged the car at all? Can I drive it at all?

Update: the trans swap went well and it is running and driving. However, I put about 3.8-9qts of Lucas Oil 75W-90 in and the shifter seems kinda stiff to change gears. Given, the new trans has 50,000miles less than my old one did, but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right. Any Ideas?

Thanks for the info, would anyone want the old trans?

okay, also, do the axle shafts just slide out?

Thanks guys, any spcific fluid you would reccommend to maybe help the new trans last longer?

How tight should I make the front spindle nuts on reinstall?

Hi, guys. I'm new to this forum. I have an 07 n/a legacy 5 speed, and its been a basketcase since I bought it. Bought it with third gear synchro broken and two days ago got stuck in first after pulling away from a stop sign. Yesterday, went to put it in first after warming it up, and it has no gears. I already troubleshooted the clutch and shifter mechanism and I need a new trans.???????? I found a local 5mt revised from an 07 legacy and was wondering what i have to do differently since subarus are so different from average cars. Do I have to pull the motor? I'm replacing the clutch along with it, but do I have to replace anything else? ALL advice is greatly appreciated. Sadly, I dont have the $$ for a 6mt swap, but the new one should work fine. Thanks again, Brian.
