A/t Servicing Subaru Impreza WRX GD/GG рестайлинг

APPLICATION

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE APPLICATIONS

SERVICE INTERVALS

Check fluid level in transaxle and differential every month. Under normal operating conditions, change transaxle and differential fluid every 30,000 miles. If vehicle is operated under severe operating conditions, change transaxle and differential fluid every 15,000 miles.

Checking Fluid Level When Warm

Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Park vehicle on level surface, and set parking brake. Engage transaxle in all gear positions. Set transaxle selector lever in "P" position with engine idling. Remove dipstick and clean with cloth. (Scheme 1) Check fluid level. Fluid level should be between upper "B" and lower "C" marks on dipstick in HOT range. Add fluid if necessary. DO NOT overfill.

Checking Fluid Level When Cold

Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake. Engage transaxle in all gear positions. Set transaxle selector lever in "P" position with engine idling. Remove dipstick and clean with cloth. Ensure fluid level is between upper "B" and lower "C" marks on dipstick in COLD range. Add fluid if necessary. DO NOT overfill.

Front Differential

Park vehicle on level surface with engine off. Remove Yellow handled dipstick located on top of differential and clean with cloth. (Scheme 1) Check fluid level. Level should be between "C" and "B" marks. Add fluid if necessary.

Scheme 1

Transaxle

Use Dexron III ATF.

Front Differentials

Use API GL-5 80W-90 gear oil.

FLUID CAPACITIES

TRANSAXLE FLUID CAPACITIES

DIFFERENTIAL FLUID CAPACITIES

1. Allow engine to cool for 3-4 hours. Raise and support vehicle. Remove drain plug. Drain transmission fluid into proper container. If cleaning oil screen, remove oil pan. Apply an even bead of Liquid Gasket (1217B) when reassembling. Tighten all bolts to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(/subaru/impreza-wrx/gdgg-2002-2005/remont/automatic-trans/#at-servicing__torque-specifications) .
2. Fill transaxle with fluid. Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature. Shift gear selector through all positions, ending in Park. Check fluid level with engine idling. Add fluid as necessary. DO NOT overfill.

INHIBITOR SWITCH

Inhibitor switch allows back-up lights to turn on when gear selector lever is in "R" position, and allows starter to operate when in "P" or "N" position. Inhibitor switch supplies input signal for each range and turns on corresponding range light on instrument panel.

Adjustment

Loosen 3 inhibitor switch mounting bolts. Move gear selector lever to "N" position. Insert Stopper Pin (499267300) as vertically as possible into holes in inhibitor switch lever and switch body. (Scheme 2) Tighten mounting bolts and recheck adjustment. Ensure engine will start only with gear selector lever in "P" position, and back-up lights come on in "R" position.
