Automatic transmission pipe under pan - not shown in FSM?

Featured Replies

I'm replacing a 2002 H6 VDC transmission.  Under the transmission pan is a pipe that goes from passengers to drivers side and is under the ATF strainer.

 

The donor H6 VDC transmission does not have this pipe.

 

The FSM doesn't mention this pipe, nor give torque values for the two bolts holding it in place.

Subaru's opposed forces, seems to show it but doesn't give a part name or number.  I attached a picture of opposed forces diagram with the pipe boxed in red.

 

I'm going to install the 2002 pipe/hardware in the donor transmission.


But I'd like to know - either there are some transmission differences or it was removed prior.

 

This donor transmission pan was dented and a couple solenoid connectors cracked - i replaced all those. There's a pressed in fitting that the pipe in question slides/pressed into - that fitting is tightly pressed into the transmission and was also missing.  I could envision someone forgetting or removing the pipe, but not that fitting.

 

I couldn't find any photos of H6 trans trans but these two show an earlier gen with pipes and one without...weird.
