external ATF filter

Post by 91White-T »

Is this located on the driver side front wheel well? I see something there but can't quite tell what it is. How much does one go for? I'm assuming it's dealer only...

Its a retrofit. Not all cars have it.

The filter alone is 3X the cost of the kit which includes the filter.

it looks like a fuel filter, right between the cyl head and the battery/washerfluid area, though a little lower. IF you follow the oil cooler lines from the radiator you should run right into it if you have it.

Someone want to give me access to a large amount of storage? I downloaded most of the files from techinfo.subaru.com and one of them happens to be the ATF filter kit instructions!

I'll set ya up ftp access ciper....feel free to upload until your hearts content.

i've been wanting to do the same thing, and suck down as much as I can for all years of the legacy and impreza lines.

Did you get my email with the addy/logon info?

I got it and they are uploaded. I was having trouble with the techinfo site. For some reason my browser would get corrupt and I wasnt able to browse any longer. I would have to close all explorer windows to get it working again.

Do you need help to rename the files? They came from techinfo with the bulletin number instead of a name.

If they're all tsb's what I could is make an index of some sort that gives info on what the TSB is about. If there's other files besides TSB's, it'd be nice to have things separated. I haven't had much time to look at them, so not sure what's all there.
