Overfill a Autobox is a big NONO... it ill cause the torque converter and the hydraulic valve inside the box to overload....

Quickly drain away some of it and maintain it back to normal full level ...

TS already stated manual transmission bro. Manual overfill will just make gear response slower thus car feel low power. Drain some out if you want better response.

manual gearbox oil will not be overfilled if you use the filler plug..

dont refill oil at speedo cable/ sensor hole..

2nd ...

QUOTE(huakenny @ Feb 11 2012, 04:41 PM)
there is filler plug n drain plug designed for this purpose....if u refill it thru the filler plug...i dun see how it will overfilled for sure smile.gif

if u r refilling it at other hole, to check the fluid level is thru the filler plug only, it overfilled, excessive fluid will come out from there. otherwise, its not.

3rd...

A manual box will not overfilled with transmission oil,it ill leak out from the hole once the correct level is reached...

ONLY AUTOBOX WILL OVERFILL COZ IT FILL FROM THE DIPSTICK HOLE ...

So this misleading me to believe TS is asking about Autobox smile.gif

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.

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.

Nice,learn something new today biggrin.gif

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 sad.gif

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

subaru really got pakai otak design gearbox lolz...

Yea,it's a clever design ... but if a inexperience mech do it,it might overfill the transmission oil whistling.gif

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.

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 smile.gif
