thanks, GL-5 in a automatic transmission sounded VERY weird to me and these lube books do suck quite badly. I just wasnt sure since I'v never worked on a AWD car, automatic trans, or a subaru for a fact. Hopefully a fluid change will help the automatic trans or I discover something tommarow when its at my work on a lift. edit: well this car has been on the owner merry-go-round. I know a female college student and a Indian has owned the car, both prolly beat the hell out of the thing before I stumbled upon it. Besides the trans, the car is in near mint condition and the motor purrs. for 250$ I consider it a steal.

Recently I have purchased a 1990 Subaru Legacy LS Automatic AWD. And I have been needing to replace all the fluids in the drivetrain. But after looking at the Quick Lubrication Guide (scans below) I am a bit confused what fluid goes in the automatic trans, front differential, and rear differential. Now termanology wise I am a bit confused, from my understanding: Automatic Trans = Transaxle = GL-5 Front Differential = Final Drive = GL-5 Rear Differential = Rear Differential (hehe) = GL-5 Now the big question is, does the Automatic Transmission take GL-5 as its lubericant? It currently has ATF/Dextron/Red crap that the previous owner must have put in. A big factor here is that the Transmission has a hard time shifting into Second and Fourth and slips under heavey acceleration.
