DesertEagle Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 My wife 06 4EAT wagon recently developed a slow tranny fluid leak. Funny, since I just did a full fluid exchange a few months ago (taking off return hose method). It looks like it's leaking from the pan gasket. It looks like a typical rubber gasket, but can anyone verify that for me? AAP or Autozone doesn't carry one, but it looks like Rock Auto does. If/when I do take off the pan to change the gasket, can I reuse the fluid, since it is almost brand new? I hate to waste expensive Subaru ATF.

Max Capacity Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 IMO as long as you make sure the pan is clean and may be filter it as you pour it back in, you should be fine. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

AZP Installs Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Do you really want to risk a $3-4k transmission for a few dollars of fluid? Have to ask yourself that. -Mike Paisan http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/153798190.jpg Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Enthusiasts since 2001.
