That is auto or manual? i never seen a manual gearbox with dipstick before

My manual gearbox comes with dipstick and I fill manual transmission fluid through the dipstick tube as there is no fill plug bolt.

As for the EVO manual gearbox, as far as I can remember there is no dipstick except for the SST EVO X, which like most dual clutch systems, is not exactly a manual gearbox by definition.

welll , impreza gearbos is GOODING !

Yours is a Impreza Ver ???

sleepwalker very low profile one . he wont reply such question lol .

All subaru also got dipstick

should say , ONLY SUBARU got dipstick

I know him drive Impreza one ... infact i know quite long ago already,just wonder what gen/version he own,every Subaru have Dipstick on manual box? never heard or seen them before

You can consider that every Subaru Impreza from the very first GC8 model until now has dipstick. Like Huakenny said, ALL has dipstick and not just the Impreza WRX models. Even the standard roadcar 1.6 TS model non-turbo has dipstick on its manual gearbox. For Impreza WRX/STi, it is harder to spot the dipstick as it is hidden behind the top-mount intercooler which sits on top of the gearbox.

I drive a bugeye. My friend drives an 18 year old GC8 Impreza WRX and that has a dipstick too. Watch the video below at 0:10 you'd see the gearbox dipstick. Do note that the mech has removed the intercooler and the dipstick is in plain sight. Otherwise it would be blocked by the intercooler but still reachable from the sides.

its a GOOD DESIGN to hav a dipstick for manual
For fluid checking , and also for Faster Add up fluid / change fluid ...

Off topic question,does your Scoobie give you any trouble? heard my friend driving Ver.8 say he rebuild the engine 2nd time already in 1 year and 4WD gearbox kong ... 1st thinking wanna get one as performance and comfort/room for family can go together plus the boxer rumble really poison but after heard my friend said like that really potong stim

People who blows their engines and especially gearboxes just don't know how to drive a 4WD. The engine and gearbox is fine, the driver is not. All these issues usually points back to an over enthusiastic driver who launches too hard, don't obey rpm redlines and remove the built-in safety switches when installing aftermarket boost controllers. I'm already running at 150K km and still on the original clutch and no engine rebuilds. Another friend of mine reached 200k KM on his factory clutch. Most people under 30 can't reach 50K on their first clutch, so it's more of a driver issue than component.

Well, my 17 years old satria has exceeded 400k km on stock engine. Definitely not the vehicle's design problem.

Yea,totally agree with you ... he run 1.6Bar of boost constantly and do hard launch at 6K Rpm on whatever chances he found "eg.on traffic light.etc" ...on U-Turn when the LSD kicked in the car just run like it had the handbrake engaged right? he just accelerate hard til the rear end of the car slid out ...

Should reconsider on not to buy one of these,the look and their performance just awesome
