Well, around 2k miles on my car i did a coilover install and one off my boots came off from the tranny and leaked a lot of gear oil out. I went to pep boys and the only good brand i found was Royal Purple so i topped off my tranny with that. Ever since then my gears have been extremely loud and sometimes (rarely) grind.

Now im at about 15k miles where a tranny fluid replacement is recommended, so today i got Motul 300 and plan on doing this oil change today.

Thanks for the awesome write up, i also plan on doing my rear diff (using your write up) in the next day or two.

They are very thick washers actually, they wouldn't "crush" like the crush ring from the motor oil plug.

Well, it says to change the washers so for those of us who want to be extra safe...

Clutch side - 803926070

Oil Pan - 803916080

are the two washers.

Unless the maintenance schedule for an 07 is different, this is the 15k mile service:

Replace Engine oil
Replace Engine oil filter
Inspect Disc brake pads and discs, front and rear axle boots and axle shaft joint portions
Perform Inspect brake lines and check operation of parking and service brake system
Inspect Clutch operation
Inspect Steering and suspension
Perform Rotate and Inspect Tires

changed mine to Motul 300 over the weekend, boy what a difference! I would recommend everyone to do their tranny fluid change to Motul right away, its so smooth and feel too easy to shift.

anything to recommend for the rear diff? would motul 300 work or just subaru rear diff oil

whitestar · 10-01-2007, 09:34 AM

no, for rear differential, you need to use Motul 90 PA. Link: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-inst...-diff-oil.html
